Goalrilla Basketball Hoops with Tempered Glass Basketball Goal Backboard, Black Anodized Frame, and In-ground Anchor System

I've held off on reviewing this for a few months. We've had this for 6 months now. The first couple of months we used it every day.I still use it a once a week by myself to get a quick shooting drill/workout in. My 14 year old son and I play together at least once a week. We played less before because we didn't care for our cheap portable goal in the driveway.Installation was not super easy. The concrete foundation was simple. Mounting the actual assembled post was a little nerve-racking because it was just me, my son and my wife. The backboard required a little more muscle, so we enlisted additional help. Me, my 14 year old son, two of his friends, my wife, and a fairly strong friend struggled to mount the backboard. It would have been easy with 4 adult males. Consider a professional installation.

We are really enjoying our new Goalrilla!First, the installation went pretty smoothly. In advance of receiving the delivery, I watched some install videos on Youtube. I highly suggest doing that so you have a sense of what is involved. Thankfully, my 15 year old son took on the task of digging the 48" deep hole for the goal's foundation. It took right at 11 bags of 80# concrete to fill it. Having the 4 rebar included in the kit was nice - saved me another trip to the hardware store. As long as you are careful placing the anchor bolts and base plate into the wet concrete, that part of the install was very straight forward. We did our best to keep things level, and that helped a lot later when setting the pole. We also wrapped the top of the anchor bolts with blue painter's tape to protect them when we installed the pole.Putting the various arms and accessories on the pole was easy, but a few words of advice. One, make sure the saw horses you work on are sturdy and padded. The pole gets pretty heavy so it is important to have a solid work surface. Second, as things are attached to the pole, the center of gravity for the pole changes. Make sure you are careful because at times the pole wants to roll over. Third, many of the connections require plastic washers between metal surfaces. This can be a bit tricky to do, so having a couple other people to assist in this part of the work was very helpful.The goal is of good quality construction, but that also means it is heavy! Take heed to the warnings in the installation manual about having multiple adults on hand for setting the pole and installing the backboard. It went smoothly for me because I had plenty of help. However, if I was shorthanded, it might have been a different story. We also needed three step ladders for attaching the backboard. I highly suggest that as well for the initial lift of the board.After the heavy work was done, the rest was easy. Like I mentioned earlier, we kept the base plate pretty level so we didn't have a lot of adjustment to the pole after we installed it. The rim went up easily enough - as did the net. After that it was time to shoot some hoops! It is great being able to lower it for my nine year old.

Very well made !

We got the 60" and it is AMAZING! Our family is in awe and is having a blast with it. My 7 year is obsessed! Historically, we have a hard time getting him to do anything on his own. Now, he is outside constantly playing ... before school, after school ... after dinner ... he loves it so much. He loves that he can position it lower or higher and he has no problem doing it on his own. Our family has zero complaints about this hoop ... all positive. My husband wants me to add that he loves how sturdy it is ... he said "it feels like you are playing at a division 1 college arena and not in somebody's driveway". It is high quality.Also, we did the installation through Amazon and it was super easy to schedule ... we had to reschedule a few times and it was no problem to do so online. John, who did the installation, was lovely and did a great job. I should mention that our landscaper wanted to do the installation for us but he couldn't beat Amazon's price to install.If you are on the fence, I highly recommend getting this Goalrilla basketball hoop - you will not be disappointed!

Needed a heavy duty, inground hoop that can withstand strong wind along with my 3 boys and I. Ordered the full sized 72" backboard unit and addition light kit for nighttime play. The 48" deep concrete base took some effort but provides a solid anchor. The instructions said to utilize 3 adults and 2 ladders to lift/install backboard, but the weight was too much and it proved to be unsafe. Instead, we used an SUV to provide a solid platform for smoother install. After 2 months of use, it has withstood every test and is now the main basketball court in the neighborhood!

We bought the 60” hoop not only for our kids, (5 and 7) but also for us, the parents, for something to do outside. It has been perfect. The ability to raise and lower the rim keeps the whole family entertained and interested.After we found a couple friends who had installed hoops before to help with installation it was smooth sailing for us. I love the in ground anchor system - it is secure and gives us the ability to easily move hoop to another house if we need to.The hoop looks good in the driveway and is sleek enough not to draw any unnecessary attention to it. Our kids love it—it’s a win for us!
