Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

Quality, solidly manufactured item. If you are a handy person then this is a good buy. A point for those considering something cheaper.

The 1/8 acrylic backboard holds up better than the previous portable model that ended up cracking/breaking due to heat & uv exposure. The rim is sturdy and does not wobble much. The system is quite sturdy for the price.

Use rebar in the hole and push a 4' piece of rebar down the first pole, in the ground. You absolutely need a ratchet socket set and extension and a crescent or open end/box end wrenches.

The family loves it. Endless fun for my husband and our children. It's not as smooth as i expected but the kids to not seem to care.

Took 6 hours with two handymen to install using quikcrete cement. Installation is not complicated but does take some time.

Cons

This item is cheap and cheaply made. The metal is thin and the height adjusting mechanism is not accurate. The assembly instructions are incomplete and difficult to follow.

Maybe if you live further from the shipping point you might not be so lucky.

Competitiveness

Buy this if you want an affordable/reliable option for an in-ground hoop.

It needs over 400lbs of cement though so be prepared.
