Excellent Investment.

We have had this hoop for almost 2 months. While it takes some time to put together It is well worth the investment. It is solid well-made and holds up well to the rigors of neighborhood play.

Great Customer Service

I have an older portable basketball hoop that was never assembled and parts were either missing or lost in a move. Heidi was super helpful with identifying the parts I need and sent everything to me at no charge under warranty. I am 100% satisfied with this company and will definitely consider purchasing more products from them.

Q: Do you provide assembly service in MD?

Asked by: rod - 9/27/2018

A: We have found that customers are far more successful at getting more competitive local assembly/installation rates if you join a local Facebook classifieds group and create a post like, "Looking for a licensed and insured handyman to assembly my ......." You are likely to get several competitive bids eliminating the middle man.

Q: Is this basketball system 90228 truly portable?

Asked by: Admin - 8/12/2015 9:21:22 AM

A: Yes, it is portable. However, you do need to drain about half of the water when moving it. The convenient thing is that it has a cap on the side and a cap on the top for quick filling and draining. Please keep in mind if you intend to fill it with sand the base will weigh about 500 pounds and cannot be moved. The sand is not easy to get out.

Q: Will it fall over in a windstorm? Falling over in a windstorm is very rare, but it does happen. The instruction Manual suggests that you lay it on its side during bad storms. Filling it with sand or adding sandbags on the base will help ensure that it does not fall over. We encourage you to take every necessary precaution to ensure that it does not fall over. Please pay attention to the suggestions and the owners Manual. What happens if the basketball hoop is damaged when it is delivered?
