How much space does the 4-way tower require?
The tower requires a single in-ground installation point, with the four arms extending outward to create four independent play positions. The exact clearance required around the tower depends on your court layout and the activity you're planning. Contact us before ordering and we'll help you assess whether the tower suits your available space.
Can we install it ourselves or does it need a professional?
The tower is available as supply-only if your facilities team prefers to handle installation, or we can arrange installation through Club Captain β contact us before ordering to discuss. The ground spigot is included with the tower regardless of which installation option you choose.
Are the rings at regulation height?
Yes β all four rings are fixed at 3.05m, which is regulation basketball height for competition. The rings are fixed rather than height-adjustable, which reduces maintenance requirements and keeps the installation simple and durable.
Is post padding available?
Yes β post padding is available as an optional add-on. For schools and council facilities where safety compliance is a priority, post padding is strongly recommended. Contact us to add it to your order.

What is the difference between the 4-way tower and the reversible tower?
The 4-way tower is a dedicated basketball installation β four hoops, four backboards, maximum simultaneous play capacity in a single footprint. The reversible tower is a two-sport solution β one tower that switches between basketball and netball with a simple rotation, ideal for facilities that need both sports without installing separate posts. If you need both sports covered, the reversible tower may be the better fit. See the reversible tower here β
