This is a really nice goal that my kids love. The crank adjustment is a little stiff but I will try lubrication to see if that helps. Not sure how the installation instructions came up with 8 80# bags of ready mix. It took all of 17 bags, plus a little of an 18, .6 cubic feet per bag.

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.

Great basketball hoop. Pros. Quality, looks, sturdiness, price,comes with everything you need to install it, even if done in fresh poured concrete. Cons. Moderately complex assembling process. Overall great hoop, 2 people to put it together will need about 4 hours. Plus extra work if you must pour the concrete. Looks great.

I just bought the 54" in-ground, tempered-glass basketball hoop (Model # 90568). I'm getting ready to install it this weekend. Upon reading the actual specifications, the documentation says the 'Backboard Dimensions' are 49.5 in. x 33 inches. I very intentionally wanted to purchase a 54" backboard, not a '49.5"' one as the specs indicate. Why are you advertising this as a 54" backboard if it's not??

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.

I am 100% satisfied with this system! I installed my hoop on Friday, July 10th. This was my first time assembling a basketball hoop and I found the instructions to be easy to follow, making the assembly of the hoop relatively easy. The assembly of the hoop itself took approximately 1.5 hours. Where I was able to save time and get the entire installation done in under 3 hours, was by using a ground screw versus pouring concrete (see attached pictures). Every review I read mentioned that the instructions did not call for enough concrete, that the hole was hard to dig, after concrete cured the bolts didn't line up, their hoop was crooked after anchoring the hoop to the concrete pad, etc. This lead me to do some research and I found a company called US Post Company, and they have a product called "Spin Digger" which is a ground screw that is used for mounting various products "In Ground" without using concrete. Richard Parent the owner of US Post Company, he personally came out and installed the ground screw himself. He used a 6' ground screw so it would be below the frost line eliminating any chance for the hoop to ever lean under any load or weather conditions. Using the ground screw made the pole more rigid and sturdy. The ground screw took away all the shaking and spring in the back board that others mentioned in their reviews making this hoop feel like your playing in an actual gym. The ground screw took approximately 10 to 12 minutes to install into the ground. When using concrete the installation process can take anywhere from 3 to 7 days depending on weather conditions and concrete cure time. The ground screw eliminated multiple visits from the installing contractor and changed a 3 to 7 days installation window into a 3 hour same day installation. We started the assembly at 4pm and my kids were enjoying the hoop by 7pm that same day. I mention all of this to help inform others of this amazing in ground assembly system that I think makes this product even better and save you all the headaches of using concrete. If you're interested in finding out more about the ground screw you can contact Richard Parent at 847-980-7194 or rich@uspostmailbox.com.

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!

Just got it installed, looks good. Will see how it holds up.

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.
