interesting, I'll keep an eye out for that. I'm shocked it broke? an acrylic backboard broke from a basketball?
Supposedly the weak area is where the bolts mount. My gut tells me his neighbor overtightened and cracked the backboard. Doing some research I've read a series of posts on the mount breaking. I have no idea if the white and clear are two different materials all together but haven't read anything about that on the white. Of course my eye likes the clear. I'm way ahead of myself anyway as I'm staring at fiberglaas shell sitting in my excavation, not backfilled with a foot of water in it that is totally green. PB hasn't been here in 15 days and will come back tomorrow so any chance of this being all done this year and being in a pool to even have a basketball hoop is like being on step 95 in my head and really being on step 4 in reality.
interesting, the reviews on the site, and on Amazon are extremely good. I love the clear so much.
Looks awesome! Can you take out the pole and plug the hole with a cap if you don’t want it up for a period of time?
Where did you buy yours from? That's probably what I'll end up getting.
Right from Dunn-rite and they had a good sale going. It came very quickly, about 3 days. Easy to assemble just don't over-tighten the backboard to avoid cracking it. Easy to install. One tip don't tighten down the extension arm in place over the water until you put the backboard on. We turned it to the side and attached the backboard and put the net on the rim then turned it over the water and tightened the extension arm bolts. The instructions want you tighten it down before you put the backboard on but then it will make very very hard to install the backboard when the extension arm is out over the water. Literally I think it took us 20 minutes to put this together. It was easy and very very sturdy. its going nowhere once weighted down with water.
I need to Google that company.
