By the numbers

Built to stay put. Built to last.

The specs that matter on a fixed-height wall mount — the footprint, the glass, and the parts that keep it true.

Fixed overhang

The backboard sits just 6 inches off the wall — the smallest footprint of any Gladiator wall mount.

Flush

Side-hoop ready

Tight to the wall, so side hoops stay clear of the main court's sideline run-off and never crowd the main hoop.

10'

Set once at install

Mount the rim at regulation 10 feet — or any fixed height your program needs — and it never moves.

3/8"

Tempered glass board

Clear-view 3/8-inch tempered glass with an aluminum edge frame — in 54", 60", and 72" sizes.

2 plates

Fixed wall plates

Large steel plates secure the glass above and below. No crank, no linkage, nothing to adjust or maintain.

180°

Breakaway rim

Heavy-duty triple-spring flex rim deflects under load and snaps back true — protecting the glass and your wrists.

Anti-tear

Meridian rope netting

Safety rim and net connector with Meridian rope anti-tear rim netting keeps the net locked on through heavy play.

5-gauge

Galvanized steel frame

Heavy 5-gauge galvanized steel finished in black powder-coat — the same commercial-grade build as our adjustable systems.

18-8

Stainless hardware

Every included bolt, nut, and washer is stainless steel.

The 6-inch overhang

Six inches off the wall. All court.

The fixed-height mount holds the backboard just 6 inches from the wall — the smallest footprint of any Gladiator wall mount. That's what makes it the go-to side hoop next to a main court, and the space-saver for smaller indoor courts.

This hoop

6" overhang

Measured wall to backboard

Two steel wall plates hold the backboard just 6 inches off the wall. No arm, no linkage, nothing reaching into the room - the whole assembly stays within half a foot of the wall it hangs on.

Rim heightFixed at install

Run-off left beside side boards4 ft 6 in.

In a gym, side hoops live on the long sideline walls for cross-court games and shooting stations. A 6-inch fixed overhang keeps every one of them flat against the wall, so the main court's sideline run-off stays clear and nothing hangs over the out-of-bounds lane.

Players finishing at the rim end up close to the wall on any 6-inch install. Pair it with wall padding on that wall.

Where it fits

Built for the walls the main hoop can't use.

Side & cross-court hoops

Line the sideline walls of a full court with six of them and run three cross-court games at once, without the boards crowding the main court.

Small indoor courts

Half courts, barn gyms, and home courts under 40 feet deep. The 6-inch mount gives back the floor a long arm would take.

Shooting stations

Multiple fixed rims along one wall turn a gym into a rep machine for camps, clinics, and team shootarounds.

Schools & rec centers

One height, no crank, nothing to adjust or lock. The right call for gyms where the rim stays at 10 feet, season after season.

Fixed vs. adjustable

Which wall mount is right for the wall?

Same glass, same rim, same stainless hardware. The difference is how far the board sits off the wall - and whether the rim moves.

Good to know

Fixed-height questions, answered.

Can I change the rim height later?

No - that's the point of this model. The two wall plates set the rim at one height and it stays there, with no crank, linkage, or lock to maintain. Most installs put the rim at regulation 10 feet. If you'd rather be able to drop it for younger players, the adjustable wall mount is the one to look at.

Does it work as a side hoop next to a main court?

That's its best job. With the board only 6 inches off the wall, side hoops stay out of the main court's sideline run-off, and the rims line up for cross-court games. A typical full-size gym runs six along the two long walls; a smaller gym often runs two or four.

Which backboard size should I pick?

72" is the regulation size for a main court. For side hoops, shooting stations, and small courts, 54" or 60" saves wall width and cost without changing the rim or the glass thickness. All three are 3/8" tempered glass with the same triple-spring breakaway rim.

What does the wall need?

Solid backing behind both wall plates - one zone above the board and one below it. The wall backing guide further down this page walks through wood-stud, concrete, and block walls, with the exact heights for each board size.

Is it the same rim and glass as the adjustable?

Yes. Same 3/8" clear-view tempered glass, same heavy-duty triple-spring side-flex rim, same 18-8 stainless hardware. The frame is 5-gauge galvanized steel with a black powder-coat finish.

How close to the wall will players be?

Close - the backboard is only 6 inches off the wall, which is what makes the footprint so small. For any court where players drive to the rim, plan on wall padding behind the hoop; it's standard practice on gym side hoops for exactly this reason.

Why this hoop

Built to last

Forged from stainless steel.

Every bolt, bracket, and fastener on a Gladiator hoop is 100% stainless steel — an alloy engineered to stay strong, stay clean, and hold its finish for the life of the court.

The material 304 / 316 grade

Non-porous. Non-corrosive. Permanent.

Corrosion resistant

A self-healing chromium-oxide layer keeps rust from ever taking hold — no orange streaks, no pitting, no rust bleed onto your wall or floor.

High tensile strength

Holds torque and shrugs off the repeated shock of dunks and rim loads without fatigue — the hardware keeps its grip long after the game.

Sleek, premium finish

A clean satin-steel look that reads professional in any gym — the polished surface holds its shine instead of dulling, chipping, or flaking.

Zero maintenance

No painting, no sealing, no rust treatment — ever. A quick wipe is all it takes. Bolts back out clean years later without seizing or stripping.

Hygienic & non-porous

A sealed surface gives dirt, sweat, and bacteria nowhere to hide — ideal for schools, gyms, and any high-traffic indoor court.

The breakaway rim

See the rim do its job

Hang on it. Dunk through it. The triple-spring side-flex rim deflects under load and snaps back to true — protecting the tempered glass and your wrists on every finish.

Installation Requirements

Wall Backing Requirements

The fixed-height wall mount hangs on two steel plates — one above the backboard, one below it. Both need solid backing behind them before the hoop goes up. Pick your backboard size and your wall type.

Backing goes in before the hoop does

Do not install this hoop until proper backing is in the wall. Failure to follow these instructions may result in property damage, serious injury or possibly death. If anything here is unclear, call Gladiator Hoops or consult a structural engineer.

Backboard size

Only the upper zone moves with board size. The lower zone is 8'8" to 9'8" on every board.

Fig. 1 — In-cavity LVL, framing stageTap + for details

Option 1 — LVL Inside The Wall

Standard install · wood studs

The cleanest option. LVL goes between the studs before the sheetrock and disappears when the wall is finished. Already sheetrocked? Cut the rock out, add the backing, patch it back in.

Mark the wall center first. Find the center of the wall the hoop is going on and mark where the floor meets the wall. Every height below measures up from that mark.
Upper zone — 11'9" to 12'9" off the floor. For 54" and 60" backboards. Measure up to the first mark, then 12" higher for the second.
Lower zone — 8'8" to 9'8" off the floor. Identical on 54", 60" and 72" boards. Fill that entire cavity.
12" wide LVL. Laminated veneer lumber, cut to length and run horizontally inside the stud cavities.
3" thick minimum. Backing fills the stud cavity front to back. Stack LVL if a single board doesn't get there.
Secure to the studs with 6" deck screws.
4 ft minimum width. The wall plates are 4 ft long — back at least 2 ft either side of your center mark. Depending on where the stud cavities fall you may need to go wider.
Wood studs only. Metal-stud walls need a structural engineer before anything gets installed.

Then, on install day: pre-drill 6 holes per plate through the slots with a 3/8" bit and lag each plate on with (6) 1/2" x 4" lag bolts — 12 total, not included. Skipping the pre-drill can chew up the backing and leave the bolts loose.

Fig. 2 — Surface-mounted LVL, finished wallTap + for details

Option 2 — LVL Outside The Wall

Standard install · wood studs

Room already finished and nothing behind the sheetrock? Run the LVL on the face of the wall instead — deck screws straight through the rock and into the wood studs.

Mark the wall center first. Center of the wall, marked where the floor meets the wall. All heights measure up from there.
Upper zone — 11'9" to 12'9" off the floor. For 54" and 60" backboards.
Lower zone — 8'8" to 9'8" off the floor. Same on every board size.
12" wide LVL, horizontal. One continuous run per zone — don't piece boards end to end behind a plate.
3" thick minimum. Stack LVL to depth if you need to.
6" deck screws through the sheetrock into the studs. Hit every stud the backing crosses.
4 ft minimum width per zone — 2 ft either side of the center mark.
Allow for the stand-off. Surface backing pushes the backboard out from the wall by the thickness of the LVL. Check your overhang before you commit.

Then, on install day: pre-drill 6 holes per plate through the slots with a 3/8" bit and lag each plate on with (6) 1/2" x 4" lag bolts — 12 total, not included.

Fig. 3 — Solid concrete wallTap + for details

Solid Concrete Wall

Standard install — if 8" solid

Eight inches of solid concrete needs no wood backing at all. The plates anchor straight to the wall.

8" thick, poured solid. No voids, no hollow cores. Under 8", or not filled solid, and this install is off the table.
No LVL required. Skip the backing entirely.
1/2" x 4" concrete anchors into pre-drilled holes — 6 per plate, 12 total.
Plate heights don't change. Upper plate top at 12'3" off the floor; lower plate lands under the backboard between 8'8" and 9'8".
Concrete stops short? Add proper wood backing above it to reach the upper zone.

Not sure your wall qualifies? A structural engineer can verify thickness and condition in one site visit — cheap insurance on a permanent install.

Fig. 4 — Hollow / cinderblock wall

Block, Brick, Thin Concrete, Metal Studs

Not recommended

Gladiator does not recommend installing this hoop into brick, cinder block, concrete under 8" thick, or concrete walls that aren't filled solid.

Brick and cinder block — not recommended. Hollow cores and brittle mortar can't be verified from the surface, and anchor pull-out is unpredictable.
Concrete under 8", or not solid-filled — not recommended.
Metal studs — engineer first. Consult a structural engineer before installing any portion of this product on a metal-stud wall.
If it's the only wall you have, a structural engineer has to specify the mounting method — and it still has to carry the full load of the board, rim and play.

Better option: build a wood-stud or LVL-backed furring wall in front of the block, tied into the structure by an engineer's spec, and mount to that.
