Can it be used in basement. Is the ball going to damage the basement walls?

if the walls are regular drywall then there is a small chance that when one gets hit really really hard that the drywall could get slightly 'dented'. The balls definitely won't put a hole in drywall. And if the walls are anything else, then they will be fine. The balls a pretty lightweight and fairly 'squishy'.

We use it in the basement. My older boy (age 11) can get all of it and not damage the drywall. (Not that I've noticed anyway... there could be some depressions here and there for all I know.)When you have it running continuously, the balls are ricocheting all over the place, you're ducking behind the net to not get hit. It is something to experience.

We use it in our basement. It's not finished, the balls do not damage the block. We did put cages over the lights though.

Don't see why not. It's not so much a game enhancer for the kids as it is a boon for the kids' parents. I bought it to protect the kids and my flowerbeds, since it directs the ball coming out of the net, so the ball doesn't crush your landscaping and helps keep little kids from chasing the ball into the street.

Hello, this is Rishika from Hamee. Thank you for patiently waiting for your question.As we do not recommend any kind of drilling into the ball as it may crack or break.Thank you for the query.

It is inflated using an attachment that comes with the tub. The tub is plugged into a regular outlet and the attachment overrides the "bubbles" or jets and inflates the tub. I don't know why you couldn't use it in the basement. Enjoy.

No this is an Indoor Only Ball. It is not designed and will not hold up on the surface of an outdoor court. I would recommend the Wilson Wave Outdoor balls, they seem to hold up pretty good (or a little longer than the others I've purchased).

Yes. It could damage your flooring? I use mine in my puppy room which is in my finished basement. I put a large piece of lino under it to protect floor.

There is, I have used it from the 2nd floor of our townhouse to the basement. I don't think you will have an issue.

I think it would work fine, however being in the basement may require an amplified antenna for better reception. This antenna works but is not "multi directional" imo as it gets different signals based on the direction it faces.

Hi Missy...I would say yes, unless you are looking for the professional type goal. We use ours on a concrete slab in front of our garage and it has worked very well for us. It's very durable and can take the hard hits against the backboard with no problem. We chose to use water and antifreeze in lieu of sand and it has sustained the cold and snow this past winter. Still looks new and doesn't bend over with your shots! We shot baskets today and would recommend this product if you're looking for a basic goal and basket. Love it!

I have mine in the basement but i would not recommend to leave outside for long periods of time. It could risk getting rusty.

I put it down in the basement for about a month & that worked. outside might be faster.

Might work if you can place it near an outer wall or near a window. A basement might not allow for very good reception.

We live in N.Y. and play it outside most of the year. You would need to have high ceilings in the basement and plenty of open space to enjoy it fully.

We've used it with soccer balls with no problem. It does come with stakes to stake it down if you are concerned about a basketball knocking it over.

Mine works all over the house and outside. I dont know about a basement specifically, but I think it would work. The monitor is really sensitive and I have never had disturbance.

I have it in my basement. My three kids (age 2, 5, and 7) can all bounce without hitting ceiling. It is not a high ceiling (standard ceiling height). It is awesome because we live in AK and my kids get on it everyday. My 7 yr old will probably be too tall to bounce in house next year.

I would not recommend using any indoor ball outdoors, especially this one. It'll tear up and won't be as nice using it indoors. If you need an outdoor ball, it's really better to go with a rubber ball.
