Outstanding product
I bought this product for my two boys, 2 and 7. What I found most appealing beside price, was that this system is professional size, tempered backboard, and that it is adjustable. I was disappointed to find out that this product doesn't recommending that you dunk or hang from the rim. Not sure if its a disclaimer or the product couldn't handle the abuse. I needed to use more cement then the instructions recommend. Would recommend having 12 bags of cement versus the recommended 8, and avoid going back to the store during the middle of installation like I did. Hanging the back board is by far the hardest part of the installation, you need a minimum of 3 capable adults and ladders. All and all I am supper happy with the product. From start to finish the project took 3 hours to assemble. Keep in mind the concrete needs three days to cure before you can safely put it together.

Too Much Wiggle
Installation wasn't bad at all. It did take a few hours to dig the hole and set the base. Waited a few days to make sure the concrete was dry. Only disappointment is the backboard is very shaky! The base doesn't move at all but the center of the pole seems to be too thin and allows for way too much movement of the rim and backboard! This is just when the ball hits the rim, not dunking. I even tightened the bolts to make sure! For $999.00 and $75.00 in concrete I expected a sturdier pole. If they would have made the metal a little thicker I'm positive it wouldn't move at all. I urge future buyers to look into other brands

3.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser01/25/2022To much movementI think for the money it shakes to much after a shot. I also think everyone should know the concrete base for this is no joke they want a 16” round hole 3' deep that's about 13 60lbs bags of quick Crete and still there is shaking it's a nice goal and will work for my 8 and 6 year olds for now and probably for several years but I will go with a different better one next timeWellsding

5.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser10/16/2021This is the hoop to purchaseA solid hoop that is well-engineered. I have grandkids so I like the ability to easily adjust the height. I'm a believer in well-written directions - I was not disappointed. The directions were clear and parts were labeled. Customer service is the number one attribute I evaluate when purchasing from a company. Goalrilla's customer service answered all of my questions via email.SciTech

4.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser05/11/2021Nice In Ground HoopGreat new hoop for my 9 year old son. Assembly was too complicated for us so we had it done by a local installer. The pole does not move at all when he shoots. The backboard however does vibrate/swing after shooting. It does not affect his playing so I would purchase it again.NJMom

5.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser04/13/2017Get a truck and 4 guyslove the basketball goal- recommend! Looks awesome ! Works great! Tips: 1. Borrow a post digger or Auger for digging the hole. Not necessary, but will be happy you had it. 2. Be patient when attaching the 2 poles together. Video shows it as a 1 minute process, our reality was probably 6 minutes , but it finally happened. 3. Concrete hardens quick... so just move quickly, so the anchor plate can go in easily. We almost couldn't get the anchor plate on, cause the concrete had started to harden. 4. Most important-We used our truck for attaching the backboard to the post. Had three men stand in the truck bed and hold the backboard, while the fourth guy was on a ladder screwing in the pieces. 5. Enjoy!! LOVE IT!!Kelly

5.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser03/25/2013Great in ground system for the price.The Silverback SB60 in ground basketball system is an excellent product for the price. Extremely well engineered allowed for a quick and painless installation. A contractor/friend helped with the install - be was impressed with the product having installed a few in his time. Took about 5 hours to install allowing concrete to dry overnight. Backboard has very little vibration - a great driveway system for family and friends. Thrilled with our purchase.Kobe24GK
