step by step

1. BANKSHOT™ OPTIONS

The Bankshot™ Sports organization offers numerous layout options to customize the design of a facility in accordance with space designated for the Bankshot™ court. Whether indoors or outdoors, Bankshot™ can be installed imbedded or bolted down. Bankshot™ courts consist of lanes ranging between 5-8 ft width and 10-14 ft in length. Essentially an automobile parking lane, helpful in measuring out the best number of stations for a particular space. “Back-to-back” stations (requiring about 24ft in length) shooting “inward” appears to be the preferred layout when space provides for it. However, all shapes and configurations of Bankshot™ layouts may be made suitable and attractive.

2. CONSULTATIONS

The boards slide down the poles in their sleeves and the poles are embedded or mounted (bolted) on the surface.

It is suggested that there be adopted the same safety standards as any school playground.

Signage is provided for that purpose although smaller children need not be discouraged from hands on rim contact.
