  • Not as hard to put together as other reviews suggest
Style: In-Ground Pattern Name: Basketball System
I was really nervous to start putting this thing together after reading all the reviews, but honestly this was not difficult at all to construct. First, use the Bilt app they recommend in the manual. The app shows 3D renderings of every step. You can look at it on the app from different angles, zoom in/out etc. It is time-consuming to build -- I think it took me roughly three hours to put it together -- but it is not hard at all. All the nuts and bolts and screws are in little baggies and the instructions tell you which bag of hardware to grav for the next several steps. No, the hardware itself isn't labeled but with the way the app works I never had any issues knowing which hardware to work with for each step. To be clear, I'm not handy at all. Once constructed, this is a very high quality product. We love the plexiglass backboard and the mechanism to raise and lower the height of the hoop is so easy my 8-year old can do it with one hand. Overall great product that I expect will last decades. ... show more

  • perfect !!! ( tip: plan ahead for the assembly )
Style: Portable Pattern Name: Basketball System
it does take a couple hours to build, but totally worth it !! we fortunately had all of the essential tools to build the basketball hoop; all we had to do was make the building process it's own event so we were not stressed or upset about not being able to play on it right away. Provided refreshments and snacks for the hubby while he built it and also flipped the instruction book for him while he completed the steps, made sure to repay him with lunch afterwards. a successful and stress-free assembly and now we have the sturdiest, most amazing basketball hoop to play and enjoy for (hopefully) a "Lifetime" !! ... show more

  • Solid hoop, solid purchase
Style: Portable Pattern Name: Basketball System
Christmas gift for my two boys in elementary. Definitely a two person project. Put aside 2 to 3 hours to complete. Started off using the video tutorial, but later switch to instructions booklet. Hoop height is easy to adjust for an adult. We filled the base up with water and is very solid. All parts came included. So far we are very content with the purchase. ... show more

  • Works perfectly. Complicated assembly.
Style: In-Ground Pattern Name: Basketball System
ASSEMBLY/INSTALLATION TIPS: 1) Pay very close attention when assembling the post. what you do here is not easily reversable so you must get it right the first time. there are slots in the bottom section of post (that gets cemented in the ground. These slots will be parallel to the back board. THERE IS NO ADJUSTMENT after installation! you Must get these slots lined up with you court layout before your concrete sets up. This is the main reason I dinged this item a star. This was stated in the instructions, but it wasn't called out clearly and almost cost me dearly. Also, make sure you line up the screw holes with the slot on the other two posts. I don't think you will be able to turn the posts once they are "tapped" together. 2) I know this is a pain, but go through all the parts and figure out which letter code belongs to each screw, nut and washer. You may even need a tape measure here. There are plastic and metal parts that are similar in size, but go in different places, so you will want to know which is which. I would even put them in labelled piles/bags. If you don't do this. you will spend a lot of time staring at pictures and fumbling through the instructions trying to figure out what you need. 3) Plastic bushing are used between parts that move or rub, metal parts are used as spacers. As I said before, there are both metal and plastic parts that look similar are included. In general, the plastic pieces go between two major parts that may rub against each other as the mechanism moves. REVIEW: I purchased this hoop for Christmas, but just recently got it installed during a break from this winter. I don't know how many people are buying permanent-install basketball hoops any more, all I seem to see are the "portable" ones. I went the permanent route because I live in a windy area and I am lazy. I know I would leave a portable one out to be blown over and broken. Overall, I am very pleased with this product. The backboard sounds a little hollow, but that isn't surprising to me for a product in this range. It is sturdy and bounces true, and that is what really matters. 10 ft sure seems a lot higher to me with a clear backboard outdoors, but that could just be me getting old. One thing to note is that there are no "stops" in the adjustment mechanism that I can feel. This is both a good thing and a bad thing. It is good, because if you are a little on your installation of the post, you can still get the hoop to the right spot (i do mean a little, you can't go much over 10 feet). On the other hand, you will probably need to spend a little time with a tape measure and magic market making your own registration marks if you plan to adjust this very often. First things first, the packaging for this is big and heavy. If you aren't going to install it right away be prepared to look at it, work around it, and deal with it in general, because you WILL notice it sitting around. I did not have any of the problems I have seen on here with missing parts or damaged pieces. Everything was intact and pretty well packaged. I did have a few things floating around in the box where they shouldn't have been, so I would recommend taking inventory while you are still in the return period. I was able to assemble this by myself without too much frustration. I wouldn't recommend doing the final few steps of the install yourself unless you are tall and strong like me or like hernias, but it is possible for some people. The assembly is a complicated process with a lot of parts that are pretty similar. I am pretty mechanically-inclined, but there were a couple times where I had to disassemble stuff I had already put together and do it again. All told, I would estimate that I spent 3-4 hours putting this together and installing it. The assembly instructions are middle of the road. I have seen both better and worse instructions. TL/DR? If you are looking for a cheap, permanent basketball hoop this will fit the bill. Just be thorough and careful when installing it and you will have an enjoyable setup in about half a day. ... show more

  • So far so good
Style: Portable Pattern Name: Basketball System
Assembly took pretty much the whole day - just plan for that. It's sturdy enough - so far we had a few storms and it held up and stood up. Good product.

  • Great Product, Will Only Buy Lifetime Goals!
Style: Portable Pattern Name: Basketball System
Great product! I assembled it solo, it's tedious but all of the parts are bagged separately - just take your time. There's a review here where they mention if you put the push bolt on more that a 1/4 inch you cannot complete assembly, not true, simply put a wrench over it and tap with a hammer until it comes off of the other side and retry. Ask me how I know. Also there's reviews saying the backboard came scratched. It's not, that's the protective film, peel when done and scratch be gone. I'll never buy a goal other than "Lifetime" parts are easily replaceable. Bought an "NBA" branded one before this, the base leaked on day one and it fell over bending the rim. Guess what, you cannot find replacement rims with the same bolt pattern and that customer service didn't exist. That experience lead to this purchase. Buy it, carve out a nice day to dedicate to assembly, your kids will thank you! ... show more
