The Spalding 888160 is a large in-ground basketball system with a 60" x 38", 3/8"-thick Pro-Tek tempered-glass backboard, 6" x 6" one-piece steel pole, 9" x 9" anchor plate, Flex rim, all-weather net, pole pad, and U-Turn height-adjustment mechanism. The complete system weighs approximately 347 lbs. and ships in four packages.
Plan the installation location before delivery and arrange for several capable adults to unload, move, and assemble the system. This is not a portable hoop: the 9" x 9" anchor plate must be secured in concrete, and concrete work and installation service are not included. Follow the supplied manual for excavation, concrete requirements, anchor placement, curing time, and final assembly. The 60-inch glass backboard and 347 lb. total system weight make additional lifting help especially important. Keep every carton and packing component until the system has been fully inspected and assembled.
