Secure Mounts

5 Joe the fixer
there was no issue with this product like the previous people are saying. all the parts were correct nothing had to bent, re- drilled or anything. took me about 25 minutes to put the mount together onto the backboard. will take about an hour to attach to the garage. no mounting bolts come with it to mount to the garage, but that is a given you need to buy your own and modify the mounting location. anyone who knows how to handle a wrench should have no issue with this product. the only thing it advertises falsely is that it is galvanized. the product is made out of stainless steel. the other issue is that the directions are in about 8 seperate languages, could be separated out instead of all mixed together

I felt that$ 50. 00 was a bit much for a backboard mounting kit, at least until I started to put the kit together. The kit is very well built and the end product was much better than I could have ever done without the kit. I highly recommend using it with the Lifetime hoop& backboard that I purchased.

After 1 week very happy, instructions were good, despite what others have said, maybe these have been improved recently, just took some patience to figure things out. I did check the nuts fitting onto the bolts the day before we installed and the nuts did not go on smoothly to any of the bolts, so I recommend you try these before, and make sure you have all the hardware necessary. A few dollars on new nuts that went on smoothly saved a lot of frustration. The hardware LifeTime provides appears very cheap, bolts and nuts at Ace are cheap and will be easier to install. Mine was missing one of the roof mount adapters, but since I mounted on a wall I did n't need these anyway. I used 5/16 '' threaded rod to mount the adapter all the way thru my brick to the inside of the garage with nuts and washers on each end to make sure it was secure, You can cut the threaded rod with a hacksaw. I did n't trust just using brick screws. I like how LifeTime has the measurement of how high to mount the bottom bracket, 9' 7 5/8 '', to make sure once the backboard is mounted the rim will be at 10'. If you have a sloped driveway entrance like mine it will take some calculating and I did n't want to drill thru the mortar where our's lined up, but is within 1 '' of 10' when installed. Some tools that are helpful is a long socket set with a 13mm long socket to go along with the adjustable wrench to make things go faster. Long socket because the threads will stick out too far past the bolts when you get them tightened down to use a normal socket. 2 ladders definitely helps too.

I am glad I purchased this to compliment a backboard that was mounted inside of a pole barn. Very heavy, takes two persons to safely mount on post or side of barn. My son absolutely loves the backboard height adjuster feature. Would buy again for future installs!
