Not to stop anyone from buying the SR Smith hoop, but I had to file a warranty claim this morning since the sides of the backboard are cracking....let's see how their customer service is and what they plan on doing.

It's called "crazing" and it's a type of internal mechanical defect that all clear plastics suffer from when exposed to heat and UV. I'm sure SR Smith will do well but to prevent it on a new replacement you should cover the hoop when not in use with an opaque nylon type cover designed for outdoor use.

Great that you could use the existing slope for the slide installation. Looks very clean.
I would just order the hoop with the anchors. A few dollars potentially saved versus possible headaches and delays aren't worth it.
