Nine and a half inches. As far as I can tell, my daughter's basketballs are a bit tight.
What do you mean by is made up of three pieces that connect to each other.
I remember that each connector has two screws, so there are a total of six screws.

Now that the ball storage is off the floor, it feels great to have it mounted in the garage. We were only disappointed that the top rack holder for a ball fell out and the ball here was slanted. We would like it to be perfect, but it's already mounted, and we don't want to return it. It is because of this that we have given it 4 instead of 5 stars.
I had expressed concerns about the sturdiness of the rack. On a garage wall, this was very easy to install. I lightly sprayed each metal tip with WD40, then pushed it onto the end of the rack sections to prevent the plastic sleeves connecting the metal sections from breaking. Using a rubber mallet, lightly tap the top of the rack until the metal tips are secure into the plastic sleeves. Next, have someone hold up the rack while they line up the metal tips to the plastic holes. Each section of the rack was done in this manner, being careful to not let it If the rack is held against a wall, it is much more sturdy. It's a great product for the money, but make sure to take your time with the setup.
It is made up of three metal sections, each with four arms that attach to Despite all its sturdy features, the black plastic tubes connecting the three metal pieces break with the slightest pressure making this an ineffective and fragile one-piece wall hanging. In any case, the three parts could have been connected by screws or bolts.
As the medicine balls in my studio are constantly left on the floor, I bought this product hoping to solve this problem. As stated in the product description, I assumed it could hold 20 pounds, so I bought it and tested it. There are not only 20# balls in the rack, but there are also The service was great and I am super happy with it. My seated "bar" area would consist of 2 portions of the rack mounted on a stud and two portions mounted on a wooden support wall. For someone intending to use this for weighted balls, first make sure that the rack is mounted to a stud or wooden plank and that each screw mount is securely attached to the sturdy backing of the rack.
The low cost solution provided by this company to keep medicine balls in our gym is very good. I believe it can hold two more, but I would recommend placing them carefully -- they would hold heavier medicine balls, but I'm not sure. Dropping them on the rack is not a good idea. Despite the fact that it is completely residential grade, it will be of service to you if you respect and take care of your things.
Overall, the product serves its purpose and looks good on the wall. It's not well made at all, and it was difficult to keep it together even once it was on the wall with the black connector pieces. Once it was on the wall, it stabilized, and since it is mainly for storage/display, it will probably not be used regularly. As previously stated, I cannot imagine how this tool would perform in a space like a garage where its usage would be more consistent. Buying at your discretion is your best option, it works for us but it may not for you.
I was able to install it without any issues, but I do not recommend using the little plastic sleeves between the three sections. Simply line up one part of the wall and mount it on the wall, then use it as a guide when mounting the other two parts. I recommend you start with the center section, but make sure you allow for enough space between the lower section and the ground before mounting.
Amazon Warehouse offers a great used option for purchasing used products. When you use the black plastic connectors that come with the set, you should use lubricant to prevent them from getting stuck. Otherwise, the package arrived in like-new condition without any issues at all. I had the first couple split on me, but they kindly provided extras assuming that it was for this It worked well to slide them on with hand soap.
