Putting up basketball net

Need a bit of advice. I want to put up a basketball net and backboard on a garage wall but wasn't sure what fittings to use to attach this to the wall and I seem to be going round in circles reading about what "should" be best for doing this.

Obviously it's going to need to be able to take a fair bit of abuse with balls bouncing off it, but hopefully no one will try swinging off it.

Any suggestions most welcome :money:
