  • Good basketball hoop
It is most important to dig the right sized hole. I dug a larger hole than what was required, but made sure it was 32" deep. I used some pea gravel to set the cinder block on top of, which made it easier to move it around to get level. This is your foundation, make sure it is level and push it down into the pea gravel so it's solid. Build a frame on top and make sure that it is level, so that the top of the cinder block to the top of the frame is the required 16 inches. This foundation is critical. We set the post on top of the cinder block and then set up board supports and clamped them to the pole. We taped two small levels on two sides of the pole and adjusted the boards until the post was level. The adjustment was minimal since the cinder block was rock solid level. We pushed the boards into the ground to firm them up and checked level again. Then, we mixed 3 bags of Quickcrete in two wheel barrels and poured them into the hole, checking level after each 3-bag pour. After the pole started to be covered by the concrete, it started to set up a bit. We continued pouring until we reached the top of the frame on top of the hole. This was the hardest part of the process, but it was successful because we made sure things were square and level, and measured correctly. We used just shy of 16 50lb bags of concrete. Don't stop pouring and run to get more bags of concrete. Go ahead and buy more than you think, because you don't want two layers of poured concrete in the hole. We used about 8 pieces of rebar also. It keeps the concrete from cracking. I put rebar next to the pole for additional support. Once the pole was set up, we waited a day until we put the backboard on. In the meantime, I attached all the arms and actuator. My neighbor had a pickup truck, so he backed it up to the pole and together with another neighbor, held up the backboard while standing in the pickup truck bed and I attached it to the arms. This worked out well. I attached the backboard pads before we hoisted it up to attach it to the support arms, way easier than to try to drill self-tapping screws from a ladder. In attaching the hoop itself, we ran into some manufacturing variability regarding the level nature of the hoop. It was just off 1/4", but no eye can pick that up at ten feet, so it was cool. When I started making baskets, I realized I tightened the arms a bit too much. It was pretty rigid. So, tomorrow I'll loosen them a bit to get more softer "give" in the hoop. Summary: Build a good, solid and level foundation. Use rebar. Use those board and clamp supports, with levels attached to front and side. Buy more concrete than you think you need. Pour concrete in one continuous process until it is filled. Agitate the pour with a long stick after each 3-bag pour. Check the level and your board supports often (you might bump into it as you are working). It takes 3 people to safely attached the backboard. ... show more

  • Here's the trick...
I looked at all the in-ground basketball hoops that weren't priced in the stratosphere and found the SB-54iG to be the best looking and best reviewed option. Reviews suggesting that the two poles are difficult to mate made me nervous but I decided to give it a shot. I watched the how-to video at Escalade Sports site and observed the burly man slamming the poles together with ease and, using the wisdom of prior reviews, hatched my plan. First, I'd use emery cloth to clean the inside of the top pole. Then, I'd put the top pole in the sun and a bucket of hot water to expand it while the bottom pole rested in a bucket of ice water to shrink it. Finally, I'd lubricate the mating surfaces. When the prep was done, father-in-law (FIL) and I picked the stacked poles up in the air and slammed them down on a square of particle board out in the street. After a few minutes of slamming, we were stuck, an inch short of where we needed to be. Swearing commenced. I climbed up a step ladder to better hoist the poles and FIL guided the bottom section. Slam. Slam. Slam. Nothing. More swearing. Just when I was about to give up, a miracle happened. The bottom of the pole chewed through the particle board square and the bottom struck the street with a loud clink. FIL, who was watching the orange line, shouted, "It moved!" Then it dawned on us - the particle board was absorbing all of the impact. We set down a towel to protect the end of the pole (and the street) and with two more slams we had reached the target line. So, not a manufacturer's recommendation, but you may have better luck slamming on a towel in the street than on a board. Other install notes: -We used quick setting concrete and required less bags than the instructions suggest. Our hole was the right depth but may have been a little narrow. -In order to attach the backboard, I backed my CR-V up to the pole. I stood on a piece of plywood on the CR-V roof and held the backboard in place while a neighbor stood on step ladder to insert and tighten the bolts. Using a vehicle as a platform in this manner was a big help. -I wasn't sure whether or not I should fill the pole with concrete so I contacted Escalade who advise against it. I wanted to try for a little stiffer pole so I decided to give it a shot anyway. Doing so was way more difficult than I imagined. First, I used clear caulk on all joints and bolts to try to keep mortar from leaking out and staining the pole. Then I poured some water into the pole, dropped in a length of rebar, and proceeded to try to shake quick set concrete into the pole. Mistake. It is extremely difficult to stand on a step ladder, hoist a 50lb bag over your head, and shake concrete into a 4"x4" hole. I eventually got the concrete in, added more water, another length of rebar, more water, more concrete. Then I spent an hour hosing leaks and concrete dust off the pole so it wouldn't stain. Still, I have one etched stain that vinegar will not remove. End result - I'd say the pole is ~twice as stiff as it was to start. It feels more solid, but probably not worth the effort. The system looks gorgeous installed and we get a lot of compliments from neighbors and people walking by. It makes the portable systems look like toys. The kids love it, it plays well, and any shake is really pretty minor. The crank easily raises and lowers the basket. Aside from my ill-advised pole filling, installation wasn't too difficult - once we accidentally discovered the trick to mating the poles. I don't think you can do better unless you want to buy one of the systems costing close to $1000 which would get you a pole with a greater cross-section and/or thicker gauge steel. Note that any shake comes not from the anchor, nor from the junction between the two poles, but from the length of the pole above the ground. While the filling seemed to help a little, for the shake obsessed, only thicker gauge and a greater cross-section will really help. I think it is fine as it is. ... show more

  • Read these reviews to learn best tips to install It made it easy
After a lot of research on which to get, we ended up with this one. The backboard is not regulation sized, but it's big enough for some hoops in the driveway. We read the reviews and there's some good diagrams to from some other reviewers that really made sense. We used the extension ladder/rope system and it was super easy to do. I had my son on the rope, and a work pal and I each on a step ladder, but we could've probably done it with just 1 ladder. When you lower it to the lowest height, a 6' guy like me can pretty much hit those bolts with just a chair. I really don't get why they tell you to drop a cinderblock in there and pour the hole like that. We just leveled the post to be flush with the driveway and belled out the bottom of the hole before we poured the concrete. It's as solid as a tree trunk. And I have yet to see any rattle or vibration, even with some half-court shots hitting the backboard. We also did not pour any concrete into the lower section of the post. Can you imagine another homeowner trying to remove that with a sawzall? Also, I recommend you lay everything out and get your socket sets and wrenches as well as your cordless drill with a hexhead for the self-tapping screws all laid out before you start hanging it. A few mins of pre-reading the instructions and making sure you have the right tools and attachments ensured we didn't have to have someone go looking for stuff while someone else is trying to hold up the backboard. ... show more
