Got Basketball Hoop for the Kids - One Huge Problem, It has a HUGE CRACK!!

[@aaronjohn6586]

Well done with your problem solving can do attitude, regardless of process as long as it works, that is what counts!

[@FixItNick]

It as worth the fix, the hoop I got is awesome, wait till I set it up :)

[@ptaszek1983]

Great repair and a great score for the money!!! You really know how to FixIt Nick:)

[@FixItNick]

Thx bro lol... wait till I set up the hoop, it’s a sweet one

[@sincity82182]

Try using that spray can sealer if you have any long term problems, just as a backup.

[@FixItNick]

That’s a good idea actually, that flex seal stuff might also help if I get a little hole or something somewhere

[@chrismurphy7358]

Great job on repair as always like that you do diff types of videos

[@FixItNick]

Thx appreciate it, refuse to do same content day after day like most channels, gets boring easy

[@radmed979]

You have to buy a whole new basketball hoop, if you don't repair.... The base is basically the same cost. Great vid Thank you... This summers 2023 heatwave made ours bend and break with the weight of pole and hoop... Going to use my heat gun and solder to do same....

[@Turboek99]

Awesome job,im fixing my base just so i full with concrete

[@luissaenz3329]

I love Playing Basketball!

[@FixItNick]

Likewise, good thing I can lower this hoop to like 8 feet so I can dunk on the kids haha

[@stainlesssteele3824]

Lifetimes website you can buy a new base or if it’s Spaulding then go on Spaulding‘s website

[@MarcusCBD]

Can anyone tell me what the name of the material is he used & where & how much it cost?

[@Turboek99]

Well so you can buy the base for $297 and some change, or you can buy a whole new basketball goal assembly for $348

Hey at the back of the base got cracked and lots of water leaked out, do you or anyone else have an idea of what to do, and it’s pretty big

[@adriangreen9785]

what material is that are you melting?

[@javoristhomas8848]

What all did you use ? Link please

[@jevontonehtx]

Where did you buy that basketball base from?

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Your suppose to put sand in the base not water

[@paulinekago4134]

Where do you buy that mesh & the plastic strips? My Basketball base has a crack in it as well.

[@FixItNick]

Bought a kit at harbor freight or amazon

[@JuanRamirez-eb3fv]

[@pinkunicorn8155]

[@FixItNick]

Here you go. amzn.to/30t5Jlg

[@ShiifuFPS]

What is that tool you used to melt the plastic?

[@FixItNick]

I think plastic iron tool

[@mrdan544]

That base wouldn't last a day here on the east coast 1 day of freezing weather & it would be junk

[@FixItNick]

Ya I agree, where it freezes it’s best to fill with sand instead, or radiator fluid hahaha

[@mrdan544]

@@FixItNick never thought of anti freeze that's a good idea thanks

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

My bad that's a water base my bad

[@FixItNick]

You can do sand or water in these, I’m sure sand will take days to fill haha

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

@@FixItNick only took me 5 minutes to fill my sons with sand but it had the large 3 inch cap on the very end
