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.

I was a bit skeptical buying an in-ground hoop that was so cheap. But the Lifetime brand has a good rep. Setup was easy, instructions are easy to follow. I setup the hoop in about 3.5 hours, including the time to install the base in concrete. 6 bags of quickrete. I set this up solo, which for the most part is no big deal. Just went slow lifting whole thing up. You should probably have one other person for the last step, lifting the whole assembly onto the bottom pole. It is pretty heavy and bulky. Other than that, pretty easy install by myself. The setup feels pretty solid, plays nice. It's not a heavy glass style backboard, obviously, but doesn't rattle or shake much. The rim feels solid as well. The lifting mechanism makes lifting between 7.5 and 10 feet a cinch--one handed. Overall, very happy with this hoop. The quality feels and looks great.

I was hesitant about buying this court because of the reviews on the backboard. I didn't want to spend $700+ on a basketball court, but also didn't want to waste $300 on something that would end up being flimsy. As a typical dad, on a typical budget I chanced it with this one and have found it to be perfect for our needs. It's fairly easy to set up, and the quality is perfect for playing backyard basketball at home with my 12 year old son. This isn't the NBA so keep your expectations realistic. Adjusting the height is so smooth and easy. If your looking for a great set-up at a great price, this will suit your needs. The last part requires you to lift the backboard while it's connected to 2 segments of poles. That requires some help, but the rest is just taking your time to do things right.

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.

This is a great basketball hoop!! We researched a lot before making this purchase and I am so extremely thankful we purchased this one! It looks incredible and we absolutely love it. It took a little work putting it together... (three college educated adults about 2 hours ha ha) But it was worth every bit of time and energy we put into it. My daughter absolutely loves it. It is very easy to adjust up and down,.. even my seven year old daughter can do it with ease. It's very easy to lower for her and a second later raise for my husband and myself to play a quick game. If you are considering buying a hoop we highly recommend this one!!!!

It came with all the pieces and seems well made. We concreted it in the ground ourselves which was a bit of a challenge to raise into the ground with only a tractor. 6 year old loved it for Christmas and a year later is still going strong. It's easy for even him to raise and lower himself which I love. We get high winds where it's located and it's holding well!
