Silverback Nxt 54" Wall Mounted Adjustable-Height Basketball Hoop With Quickplay Design

Ok, so the finished product is perfect. And assembly of the hoop itself is pretty easy. The only issue is no hardware to actually mount the hoop to any structure is included and the instructions do not give you any guidance or recommendations on what you need either. I understand this is probably because people might mount this in a variety of different ways to varying structures. But a little guidance or recommendations would have been helpful. I ended up using 5/16-in x 8-in Carriage Bolts. 5/16 is the largest size that will fit through the mounting bracket. I was able to get 99% of the installation done by myself, but I had scaffolding. Still needed another person to hold as I attached the backboard to the mounting bars. Good value and getting great use out of it.

Teenager loves. Good quality, easy to assemble

I was apprehensive about finding an affordable good quality hoop and backboard that would attach to my carport and offer both sturdiness and height adjustability. Yesterday I finished the installation and it is absolutely perfect. I seldom write reviews but feel compelled to share my satisfaction when a product is actually better than anticipated. Since the unit is so new I can't vouch for its longevity but I am a 70 year old handyman and I have seen a lot of poor equipment being falsely advertised as "quality." So what makes it so good? The steel is thick and extra stable. The nuts and bolts go together easily and stay together with the locknuts threading beautifully. The rim is incredibly sturdy. And the fit and finish is superb at this price level. I guess you can tell that I am a very satisfied customer who is often quite critical (just ask the Mrs.:-)) So far I believe this hoop will be a winner with my 5 kids and 5 grandkids. It adjusts smoothly to different heights. If there is one thing I predict could be a problem it will likely be the shiny plexi surface which will probably look pretty bad by the end of the summer due to scuffing. So not perfect but still a definite 5 star. Did I say it was also beautiful? and did I say the installation manual was about the best I have ever seen with any product? Kudos to the company who put the time, effort and expense into this feature which makes installation a doable thing for many.

Very easy to assemble and looks sturdy. Do need 2 people to put it up.

Pros: Easy assembly, nice appearance. Cons: a bit pricey, good be made more heavy duty. Undersized frame (imo) and backboard could be a a bit thicker. Very functional with good quality hoop.
