We had this installed less than a year and the backboard broke from the wind. This is an outdoor hoop that doesn’t seem to be built well enough to handle the elements. I checked the 5 year warranty and it doesn’t cover the backboard. Now we have an in-ground hoop that I don’t want to fix, because I’m afraid the new one will break too. It’s just a really disappointing experience. We thought our family would use this for next ten years. Now I might end up tearing it out.

Overall this is a nice basketball goal. The instructions are very easy to follow, and it was simple to put together. The hardest part was digging the footing and pouring concrete, but it wasn't too bad. I matched the dimensions required 21"x21"x30" and it took exactly 13 bags of 80lb Quikcrete. I really like being able to level it and adjust as needed via the anchor bolts. If I ever wanted to move or sell it, easy to unbolt and remove. I didn't intend to buy one with a glass backboard, but I like it and the ball bounces off it nicely. The rim is very solid and sturdy. The crank adjustment is nice and easy to use. My only complaint is the pole, the tubing thickness is way too thin. Every shot results in a good amount of wobble, even at 7.5'. I can somewhat live with that, but there is absolutely no way this thing will hold up if anyone tries to dunk on it. It's a shame because I think everything else is sturdy enough. The tubing is just too thin. There are some gussets at the bottom flange for support, but it's not enough. If I would fill the pole with concrete that would make the pole strong enough, but it would probably need larger anchors to accommodate the extra weight. It's unfortunate because I like everything else about the goal.

Very happy. Heavy duty. Used the exact amount of cement as recommended. 13 bags. Took my 2 teenage sons and me one morning to put it up. 3 days after it took us all Day to dig and set the concrete. Love how you can adjust the level after everything is set. 2 suggestions. I set the rim tension very tight. Then let it off a couple turns. Also make sure your plate is square to your playing area before the cement sets. Take your time don’t rush the install the directions are great and clear. Nothing beats a real Glass backboard. There is zero rattle and the rim is perfect if you tension is correctly. The sway is typical and doesn’t impact anything at all. Wish it came with a poll pad.

Just got it put up last weekend. The girls are using it every day, even in the rain. We were using a portable one but it kept blowing over. This one shouldn’t go anywhere! Directions were clear and accurate. 13- 80 pound bags of concrete, as recommended.

Bought this hoop because it was similar to one we used to have. Assembly was easy, worst part was digging thr hole to pour the concrete...but wasn't horrible. Hoop is solid...does have a little bit of shake to it but nothing crazy and it's solid. If I were to recommend anything would be to make the pole and base 6in square vs 4in and that would solve the shake problem but overall very happy with it.

It’s a super nice in-ground hoop set up. Very solid with minimal vibration. Only thing to know about for the installation is the amount of concrete is well underestimated. Directions called for 8 bags but we used 15 bags - 80lbs each. Have used it every day!

I was on the fence between this one and the mammoth one with such a big price difference I chose this one, I installed it about 4 weeks ago and am happy with the quality and the sturdiness, I does have some movement on the shot but not enough to effect our gameplay.

My basketball obsessed teenage boys saved all their Christmas and birthday money, did their research and even installed this hoop themselves! With little help from dad to mix and shovel the concrete! We’ve had it for 2 months now and they’re dunking on it daily and with their mates - they absolutely love this hoop!

I'm very pleased with this hoop. It's excellent quality. The instructions for assembling it are easy to comprehend. And it is exactly what I expected.

I bought this over 8 years ago for my children and the still use and enjoy it to this day, it works very well and is easy to adjust. I love this hoop.
