Directions Need Clarification

The mounting kit worked well enough. My only issue is with the diagonal support brace. I've installed enough swinging gates to know that a diagonal support brace prevents sagging by transferring the weight to the hinges (or in this case the mounted pole). Typically it runs from the top corner opposite the hinges down to the bottom hinge corner. The directions for this kit, and all the pictures showed the brace in the opposite direction. I follwed the directions and it didn't seem that sturdy. I swapped that bracket and it is much more solid.

Great Hoop

Great hoop for price - had to buy mounting kit separate though

Needs Extension For Garage

I had to build a sturdy 11" extension so that the backboard would not hit the eaves of our garage. Installation had one hiccup as it lacks emphasis on which direction to install pieces. Difference between ends of a small metal piece was not evident. Cost me a few minutes and not a deal breaker.

Sturdy

I like how this looks up on our house. Instructions were a bit confusing since it’s universal and multiple assembly styles. It took quite a bit longer to install than we anticipated. Overall, we like it very much.

Great Product

Installed this today and it went great, very straight forward. Just one item was missing from the install booklet (you bend the angle pieces to the shape to fit the holes on the backboard. It wasn't in this book. But it was written on our Lifetime backboard book so we figured it out.
