Goliath 54" Polycarbonate In Ground Hoop

My son is turning 6 in August and this made a perfect gift for him! This was done with just 2 people(myself and my father) we broke it up in to a couple steps and it was very straight forward. I had a friend with an auger dig the hole out the night before, I finished it with a shovel and post hole digger. My father and I put the bottom post in the next day and that's where thr patience comes in as the concrete needs 5-7 days minimum to set up. Then you can pour the concrete into the pole(as instructed) and continue on. We went as far as the middle and top pole, then the arms. We left the backboard off as I wanted to let the concrete inside and out set up further (you didn't have to) but I wanted it to be in a full couple weeks before adding the backboard. Backboard and raising/lowering rod are very simple to assemble with 2 people. Important to note, we had to losen the upper arms a little to get the tube for the crank device inbetween the welds for the holes. No big deal at all, only took an extra minute. We also used a trick I saw, backing my pickup truck up to the hoop and working out of the bed of the truck instead of uncomfortably from a ladder. Its only been in a week or so now, but all in all I've been happy with it. Spent hours already as a family out using it and it was half the price of the high end one with the 4x4 post.. yes, the 4x4 is heavier duty but this one works just fine!

Great But Crooked

Product is solid, but the instructions leave a bit to be desired. We lined the front pole accordingly, but the goal itself it still slightly crooked.

Grandsons Going To Love It!

Very detailed instructions. Hardware was separated and numbered and labeled which made it easy to put together.

Broken With Dried Cement And No Hoop!

I purchased this hoop for our kiddos, and followed the directions during install. After digging the hole and mixing cement, I lowered the lower pole into the cement and the plastic rings holding the inner pole to the outer pole SNAPPED! I now have a filled hole of hardened cement, and no basketball hoop installed thanks to these components failing. Now I will need to figure out how to break apart all of this cement, and if I can get the right replacement pieces to finish an install. If you are reading this, I'd recommend going with another company or spending money elsewhere, because this has been a disaster for me.

Shattered Backboard

I had this style hoop for 4 years, and it worked as it should. However, we had a wind storm which ended up knocking the pole over despite installing it appropriately. This resulted in the backboard shattering. Weather related damages are not covered in the warranty and therefore to purchase a new backboard would cost us roughly the same as a new hoop. Would not recommend this style basketball hoop as the pole is not deep enough in the ground to withstand higher strength wind. Instead, I would recommend the version that bolts into the concrete.

Good For The Price

Good for my 13 year old son but probably wouldn’t hold up well for older kids.

We Love It!

We love this goal! Especially for the price. My 26 yo son and I put it together. As long as the instructions are followed, it goes pretty smooth in the install. Only hiccup was some missing parts. Matt in customer service was awesome! He was helpful and fast and addressed our concerns. He deserves a raise. We received the parts quickly and finished
