sheltering at home and shooting hoops!
This 5-star review is both for this product and for my success in assembly! I researched before I bought; weighed the pros and cons of my choice; watched assembly-tips videos until I was putting this portable hoop assembly together in my sleep. I calculated ahead of time which steps would require a second person and put my neighbor on standby for those final steps. I needed help with the final Iwo Jima lift of the assembled structure, and getting the four 50-lb bags of sand out of my car and onto the base, for which I thank my Marine neighbor. I had the advantage of having every tool needed to turn every bolt, and a penchant for reading instructions, which is no big deal for a female. The online videos gave me permission to try to apply the exterior molding to the 54” backboard before attaching it to the pole assembly. In that optimal horizontal position I confirmed there was no way that molding would attach without drilling new holes through heavy, thick metal. I did not have that size metal bit, so I opted out, and for my purposes, the molding isn’t needed.
The final product meets my high expectations. There’s something about the look of a perfectly aligned b-ball hoop assembly (ie, follow the instructions) and the sound of a sturdy design when the ball hits the backboard, misses; hits the backboard, misses; hits the backboard, swish!! This portable hoop is getting me through the quarantine. And when the grandkids come to shoot, they bring their own balls, and I sit on my deck and cheer!
