Basketball hoop

Instructions are in 2 parts. Read both before starting. Had to drill through concrete to install pins because I installed the pole before the backboard. Overall a decent unit for the $.

difficult to fill pipe and insert into sleeve

A lot of parts, but instructions are excellent. Filling pipe with cement fully assembled was extremely difficult - maybe my mix wasn't thin enough - had to use copper pipe to force cement down. Be prepared with helper and have patience. Putting pipe in took four guys and if you don't get pipe in EXACTLY straight, edge will catch on plastic insert and it will not go in (and will dig into plastic sleeve). I have installed a fixed pipe board before with larger diamter and if I had it to do over, I would buy that one - it was A LOT easier to fill and mount and given the weight of the filled pipe, I won't ever remove this one from the ground :-)!

Greatest Bang for the Buck!

I did much research, and decided on this in-ground hoop combo. I liked the width of the backboard for the price. I have 3 young sons, and bought this for them to grow up with. We have already had 300$ of enjoyment out of the hoop in the two weeks I have had it up. It did take 3 days before we could play on it (1 day for base, 1 day for pole, 1 day for both to dry). No regrets a great purchase!!!

not very sturdy

Bought this item for my sons birthday, had it up 2 days and the lever that raises it up and down broke. every time he would shoot it would fall straight down. Called the company and they were really nice and replaced the piece. So if you play alot of basketball be weary of this goal not really very sturdy.

Excellent quality at a great price.

I am very pleased with this basketball system. It is very well built and was easy to assemble. The directions are well written and minimal tools are required. I was impressed at how easy it is to adjust the hoop to different heights with hardly any effort. I would definitely recommend this basketball system to others. Great product!
