GYMAX Basketball Hoop, Grip-and-Pull 4.6-10 Ft Height Adjustable Basketball Goal with 44" Shatterproof Backboard, 18’’ Metal Rim & Extra Weight Bag, Outdoor Basketball System for Kids Teens Adults

This is a great basketball hoop. My old basketball hoop was knocked down by the storm. The ring was broken. I got this basketball hoop for the replacement. It is easy to install and it is sturdy. I filled the base with sands and water and placed two bricks. The basketball hoop is very sturdy. The ring is nice and the size of the board is perfect. The height is adjustable and very easy to adjust. My kids and I can play basketball in our front yard again. Like it!

It is very good, but it is a little bit difficult to install. I recommend use a wrench or electric drill. This screw is very tight and quite strong. I mainly practice dunking, so I don’t install the board. Overall, it’s pretty good.

At first glance, the instructions were very simple as I read through them completely before assembling. In most cases, the instructions neglect to give you a specific orientation for the support poles. So I put them on any which way, only to find that 2 steps later, I had to disassemble everything because the supports are supposed to be in a specific orientation to mate with parts in future steps. It would be handy if this was specified at that step of the instructions.Also, the 2 springs used for the height adjust: Well, you have to hand load these springs - they give you a loop of rope to use to pull the springs enough for them to hook onto a pin. I could barely stretch the first spring enough, then the cheap loop of rope they sent snapped and my finger got pinched (somehow, huge blood blister). I got some of my own rope to use and could just barely pull the springs enough to get them in the right position. I have worked in a foundry for 10 years, so my strength is not the issue. I have no idea how your average person is supposed to load these springs - I'm guessing you need about 150 - 200lb of pull force (there is only enough space for use of one hand) in order to be able to expand the spring adequately (and you have to do it twice).Other than the assembly (about 2.5 hours total by myself), it is a fantastic basketball net and my 12yo loves it! You'll need to fill the base and the included bag with weight in order to achieve stability. I used a total of 250lbs of weight and it's solid as a rock.

The media could not be loaded. My son opened the package immediately after it arrived. It contained all the accessories and instruction drawings. The accessories were well made, very hard and stable, and had wheels for mobility. The basketball rack can also be adjusted in height, with each section higher than the previous one, to meet different needs. It is very easy to install and is super convenient. You can place an order immediately if you need it.

Caution when you purchase - The base is not wide enough to stabilize the basketball pole once put together and the base is filled with water. The base is made of soft plastic so the basketball pole waves back and forth in the wind. The assemble was very difficult, instruction booklet useless, without the video it would have been impossible to figure out how to put all the pieces together. And those two springs !! Took two of us pulling like crazy to get them attached. That little piece of cord they show that you can use to pull the springs is worthless. Rather than return it I'm going to concrete a short piece of pipe in the ground that the bottom pipe will fit into and then bolt it down. If it had a decent base then this would be an okay product.

Once assembled it is very sturdy and doesn't easily move.The kids love playing basketball, and now they can practice at home!

No tools to fix it

Sturdy and worth every penny. Backboard could be bigger
