😵‍💫, not surprised

[@dannydimesmullis3181]

I have this same goal I bought for my son, and yes your price is right. Just finished his concrete court for the goal install..I'm at nearly 3k in expenses. FJB

[@amauriyamauti]

Nice video .... well explained. Thank you

[@SaiyanMother]

Trying to get motivated to build this now… I have it… just not feeling confident at all 😂😭

[@mikebreen1117]

How many feet did you dig and how many bags of concrete did you use? I just the same hoop. Thanks

[@JoeSmith-sj4uz]

How much space behind the pole is needed for the adjustment mechanism? Also, could you attach a cordless drill to it for adjusting instead of the crank adjustment? Thanks.

[@CarlAlanWalker]

Any way you can provide setback distance from the "court edge"? I'm installing on top of a retaining wall and would like to know how far back i should dig from the edge to ensure ball doesn't hit retaining wall after made baskets. We'll be using at 8' and 10'

[@user-nm4eg5pf2h]

Great video in explaining everything. Couple of questions. Did you put concrete inside the pole for more stability? Does it wobble at all when shooting? How would you rate the quality of the background?

[@1959whitesox]

Yes I put concrete inside The pole

[@1959whitesox]

It’s pretty good Quality of your 250 pounds I wouldn’t hang from the rim though lol

[@JoshLindsay23]

Did you remove the post while you added the cement or did you leave the post in and then push the post through the cement? The instructions looks like you take the post out while you add the concrete.

[@1959whitesox]

I left the post in…..and tried balancing it as best I could until all the cement was in…..then once the cement was in I leveled the post and let sit for 5 days

[@1988mally]

Is your Backboard crooked by any chance?

[@TrishaWebber]

Do I put any concrete in the middle? If i leave the pole in the concrete as I pour the bags in how does the concrete secure the plastic piece in the middle?

[@1959whitesox]

I poured concrete down the middle, but be careful to not get concrete in the nut threads for the bolts

[@fnshorts89]

About how deep did you dig the hole

[@mrlafayette1964]

To dig a hole like this you definitely need hole diggers, save yourself the frustration of using a shovel.

[@1959whitesox]

Yep, get a post hole digger used for fence posts

[@KareemGaribaldi]

Did you pour cement down the tube also?

[@1959whitesox]

Yes I did, well down just the bottom post, then after you do that be sure to wash out the bolt holes so cement doesn’t get stuck in the threads

[@johnmilbourn-yo5np]

How far back from the playing surface did you start your hole?

[@1959whitesox]

I put it pretty close probably 8”

[@1959whitesox]

But you can really put it as close or as far as you want

[@asburyjimmy]

How far from the center pole down the rim hang? I have a curb in front of mine and want to make sure I put it in the right spot

[@kur8305]

random as hell, but can you make a vid of you pulling down the rim, not dunking, just pulling it down. i wanna see how it flexes

[@1959whitesox]

Haha I should

[@chrisa0359]

How long did it take brotha 🤔

[@1959whitesox]

Probably 2.5 hours after I poured the concrete and set the post

[@1959whitesox]

Definitely worth it and happy with it so far

[@chrisa0359]

@@1959whitesox Did you let the cement sit for 48 hours or 24 hours

[@1959whitesox]

@@chrisa0359 i actually let it sit for 6 Days….I set it then got busy with work and didn’t have time for it

[@greenrocks713]

Hey we just bought this, can you tell me how to dig the hole? Just a regular shovel? How long did it take? I asked a handyman to install, and he asked for $860!!! Going to try to do it myself!!

[@1959whitesox]

You can use a regular shovel, I made my hole big enough to fit 8 80 pound bags of cement…..total it took me 5 hours to install….but you have to wait 5 days while Clemente curee
