## Questions & Answers

**Q: Has anyone ever found a replacement base for this?  I hit our with the lawnmower and cracked it and it will not hold water.  Thanks**
A: No I have not  needed one.  If the hole is not too  big you might consider putting sand in it instead. We had to put sand bags on top to support ours even 
with the water and antifreeze. Perhaps you can order a replacement from the company that sells them.  Hope this helps.

**Q: Will roll and bend forward enough (at its lowest height) to bring in and out of a garage between use?**
A: Yes

**Q: Can this base fit square pole or just round**
A: Just round, either vertical like this one or at a 20 degree angle.

**Q: My hoop fell in the wind and the rim bent, can anyone point me to a replacement rim, or let me know what is the bolt pattern i should get?**
A: Ray I would double check your rim.  Mine has blow over a few times and I thought it was bent each time.  I was about to look for a replacement until I started looking at the rim more closely and moving it.......I readjusted the rim and it was fine.  I had to push and pull a little to get it back but it was fine.

    Great product - Creative Idea for Assembly went wrong!  :)
  

*by D***K on Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2015*

I felt like Clark Griswold when his son said about wasting an entire Saturday looking for a stupid tie.  Just insert “putting together basketball hoop” assembly for tie and we are good to go.  Open the packaging and it was just exhausting looking at all the pieces. As I was going through the pieces it was a little like Christmas when they said to look into the basketball base for more poles.  “GREAT MORE PIECES!”   Maybe it was more like the movie “cloak and dagger” (yes I dated myself if anyone remember that movie).  So I put everything on my table in the garage and then thought "hey maybe I can get another person, to put this together”.  Off I went to Amazon home services search for basket hoop assembly and there it was. Then I realized no service providers. Lol.  Well I don't blame them.  Why anyone would want to put this together is beyond me.  So here we go.  Took a few hours to put everything together.  I would definitely say when you get to mounting the backboard section you will need a second person.  I tried to be creative and I thought I invented a better way to put this together.  I had to show everyone this photo.  The pole is through a ladder I had set up and the backboard is resting on the table so I could put the screws into the pole and the through the backboard supports.  It was a great idea and was very proud of myself until my wife came out and said what happens when you lift it up.  DOH!  Thankfully she came out or otherwise I would have been getting the saw and cutting the ladder off.  Overall it’s a great system.  I would highly recommend getting it.  I played basketball in high school and college and I know what I like in a system and this one is it.  I like how you can very easily adjust the height of the rim within seconds.  Just push the button to release the lock and you are good to go.  Very sturdy and the backboard feels pretty good for bank shots compared to “other” outdoor systems.  For all those parents out there, it makes it all worth and the hours spent putting it together to see your children all excited and actually playing with it.  My 7 year old boy jumped right into it and my 2 year old girl is already starting to bounce the ball.  Highly recommend.  Also recommend buying the base gel for the base versus getting sand.  That worked too and hoping that it retains its value during the winter months.  We will see.

    Good hoop, mediocre base
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2017*

We ordered this for our son about 18 months ago. The assembly was pretty straight forward, and the hardware is of a good quality. The hoop and backboard all seem fine and my son has spent many hours using it with no complaintsUnfortunately, the base did not hold up too well, and we ended up using bags of sand instead of water after it started leaking. We lower the hoop and backboard after use so it is better balanced, and less likely to blow over. Last week a truck backed into it and knocked the pole from the base. It basically tore it right off (the sand held the base in place), reinforcing my general opinion the base is not of great quality. However, I called the support and got a replacement base and mounting hardware for $76, which I find a reasonable price. The support folks I spoke with were very friendly and very helpful.Summary, great hoop and backboard, pretty easy to assemble and hopefully Spalding will make the base more heavy duty. I think a thicker, tougher plastic would go a long way.

    great quality and perfect item for any basketball fan
  

*by D***Y on Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2015*

Official, great quality and perfect item for any basketball fan!  Easy to install but MUST FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY especially the first steps:  while connecting the poles we accidentally attached them wrong and didn't realize until the end when we were ready to attach the backboard that the pole were attached sideways 😁...Its NOT EASY removing the metal poles once they're together but we managed to after contacting the company who gave us clear instructions for removal and finished installing the next day...the pole connection is a common mistake so take heed!!!  Otherwise total installation would have been about 2 hours with 2 adults.  The kids 6-65 (grandma) has had backyard fun with this...bought it as a gift for my 9 yr old nephew and find it perfect for him!  As he grows, it adjusts up to 10 feet so he'll have this for many years to come!
