SilverbackNXT 54" In-Ground Basketball Hoop with Adjustable-Height Backboard and QuickPlay Design, Black

So many hours of use already

We are loving this already! Though it did take my husband and me five days to do it. The first day was spent digging a hole 24 inches deep and 18 inches wide through limestone. On the 2nd day mixed the concrete in an older wheelbarrow that collapsed! 😂 We were successful and three days later we began putting together the rest of it. Our only complaint is that when we went to put the backboard on the 4 bolts already on the swivel head they did not line up. If we have been smart we would have tried it first on the ground to make sure they would. They were already soldered on it and it looked easy for us to just put it on over those 4 bolts. Nope! The holes on the backboard did not match up. So here are these 60+ grandparents on two ladders trying to lift the backboard over our heads and the swivel head would swivel down and the screws would only go in on one side. So finally I said let's get our 4x4 and stand in the back of it because it is stable and try to jimmy it on. It was easier standing on the 4x4 and we got a mallet to pound and get the bolts through. Probably not recommended but after much jimmying and pounding the holes got bigger and more lined up. After that was on, it was a piece of cake. The instructions are excellent. The pictures are true to size for all the bolts, nuts, etc.We especially like being able to adjust the size of the grandkids. It seems to be very sturdy and we took the time to follow the instructions for the pole in the ground. It is not going anywhere I hope in our very high winds on Lake MI.

Loving my hoop after couple days of shooting around and friendly 21s. I choose this particular hoop because it looks legit and it fits the probase stake kit. Instead of pouring contrete, my friends and I built the hoop and combine it with the pro base.

I bought this hoop as a Christmas gift for the family. My husband is pretty handy and was able to install it properly. My children love it and it is very sturdy and official. My youngest child love that he can wind the level up or down to bring the hoop down to his height. Great buy and well worth it. This hoop was installed/cemented in ground but we plan on living in our house for a very long time. If you’re planning on moving in a year or so might be best to get a portable hoop.

Once it's installed this is a great hoop! Height adjustment is easy to use and feels durable and rim has nice soft feel to it. It, however, was VERY difficult to get the back board installed on the mounting bracket, so keep this in mind when putting this together.
