Great video man! I just bought one for our house and saw the end where y'all were taking shots and every ball was hitting the platform and I was like oh no....glad you made a follow-up video explaining it was backwards! hate when i do that haha
I just got this hoop, everywhere we went with our 6 year old to shoot baskets all had 10 foot rims and wouldn’t lower them for us. So I decided to get one for my patio. It was a little but tricky getting some of the bolts through the holes and my dad kept talking to me while I was reading the manual, but we figured it out. Pretty nice hoop, my son loves it, it’s given him so much confidence! Plus I get to practice my dunks on the 8 foot rim lol
Welp, that's a problem! Looks easy to fix - going to see if I can modify this one or might have to re-upload! We've been playing everyday, haven't noticed it! Thanks for the comment 👍🏻
Considering adding an overlay to a 'correct way to do the base' video link towards the end when I attach the goal vs re-uploading, did you find everything else solid? Thanks for the feedback!
So glad it helped out! This is a difficult build, I’d you did the base backwards like me check the pinned comment, I’ve got another video for a part 2 w/ the quick fix
Thanks for this! My backboard had a bolt get lost- do you know how long the bolt/screw at timemark 13:44 is? Trying to figure out how to find a replacement. And do you know if I need a drill for it, or if it can be put in by hand? Thanks!
You shouldn’t have to pre drill anything, and those don’t look to be longer than 1-1/4” to 1-1/2” but I don’t have the instructions to verify that. Thanks for reaching out!
@8:05 in your video we had the hardest time trying to get those 2 screws in finally gave up on it after 2 hours of trying. Not sure what I’m doing wrong
Yeah that slowed me down a bit too.. not sure if you figured it out, but basically hold the receiving side in hard with one hand around it while you screw in the bolt on the other side.
Was anyone else's backboard bent a little? It's almost like to get those 2 screws into the (bracket 2 backboard) it has to bend a little. I put them in last night and it started raining then came out today and I swear the backboard is even more bent now!...
So glad the video helped out with assembly! Hopefully you got the base on the right way but if you did it like I did, I have another video showing the fix 👍🏻 thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for this video!! I did it myself! It took a long time but I want the kids to be able to use it tonight. I burnt my fingers standing it up since it's 94 degrees in AZ. But worth it!. Kind of. Thanks again!!
I accidentally installed the base the wrong way, ended up doing a 2nd video on swapping it if you made the mistake also - but yeah, it def shouldn’t be in the way at the ground.
Yeah, feels pretty solid. It’s not a large as a pro goal / gym goal but it’s good and you can land some solid bank shots on it too, it’s sturdy enough for us.
HEY!! Congrats on the build! And glad the video helped, this one was difficult, so very happy I decided to make the build video. If you did the base backwards like me, I’ve got a video up to correct it quick and easy 🙏🏻
Or I make tutorials with the tools that I have because those are the tools that I have to build the thing that I bought to build. Sometimes you have to work with what you have. Sometimes you have to be creative. There’s no way for me to make videos based on what every other person on earth happens to have or not have in their garage.
Man I think I'm going to leave those folding plastic parts out. I'm glad that I saw you did the base backwards. That's something I would do. Now I won't. Thanks for falling on that sword for us lol
Hey!! Thank you for the comment and I’m glad the video helped you out. This was a challenging build, more difficult than I had anticipated before starting, so I’m glad it turned out well enough to help
I got everything together okay but installed the folded plastic piece upside down lol..the goal will only lower go to 9 ft because of it. Did you leave this piece out? Thinking about it. I believe it only reads out the goal height and nothing more.
You press up behind the backboard, lifting up the goal and it has a slide type locking mechanism, so it will “latch” at different intervals of height. Hard to explain written out.. apologies I didn’t show that better in the video. We used a broom stick to raise and lower from the ground.
Good luck with the build! I did post a follow up video about the base, should be a pinned comment, because I put the base on backwards on my first try. Thanks for checking out the video!
@@TheToughGuysTV thanks I saw that one too. Great job assembling it. Hope I do it right. Thanks and I’ll try and follow your steps. I’ll post when I’m done

2 years later and still saving lives…some heroes don’t wear capes. It took us 18 hours until we found your video 😂 thanks!
😂😂 I’m glad it helped out!!!! If only I had done a blooper video for this one… would’ve had a lot of curse words 🤠 good luck!!

I was so bummed after finishing it wrong, I hope people see the fix video!! It’s a solid goal, we still love it! Thanks for watching the video!!

The base is installed backwards

@@TheToughGuysTV everything else was good
Hey - finally recorded a quick fix video, thanks again for bringing that up! ua-cam.com/video/yqzERh1Bs4g/v-deo.html
This video was a lifesaver! I bought this morning and started slowly putting it together by myself was able to get it done before the kids got home!
So glad it helped out! This is a difficult build, I’d you did the base backwards like me check the pinned comment, I’ve got another video for a part 2 w/ the quick fix
This is an Exellent guide little mistakes an all I'm very Impressed an Grateful you put this together for your fellow dads. Thank You brother
Truly appreciate the feedback, I try to do my best to give the full process but keep it not so long - thank you so much for watching!
@@TheToughGuysTV Carmera Quality, Camera angles, very detailed an easy to absorb, Father son doing it together, Its Exellent
@ 15:08 My ADG bolts won't go through the backboard spine as if it's too thick. Yours went through smoothly. Any suggestions?

For the first part assembly the pole , does it have to cover the slots when screwing?
Was able to install rim myself easily by using a table. Had the back board face down and brought rim from under.
That’s a great idea to use a table!! 🤯 thanks for sharing that!! Hopefully others will see this and use the tip! Thanks for watching
Great video! Is the backboard sturdy? Is it really loud when taking bank shots? Thanks 👍
It’s not to bad at all, and I know exactly what you mean!! 🏀
Cant get it to latch at 10 ft!😢
Thanks
I just finished putting the same exact rim up and you guided me thru just fine🤝
So glad the video helped out with assembly! Hopefully you got the base on the right way but if you did it like I did, I have another video showing the fix 👍🏻 thanks for watching!
How do you lower the basketball hoop?🤨
Best person to do it🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hey!!! Appreciate that comment! Tried to do it right!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you so much for this video!! I did it myself! It took a long time but I want the kids to be able to use it tonight. I burnt my fingers standing it up since it's 94 degrees in AZ. But worth it!. Kind of. Thanks again!!
This video is awesome. I couldn't have done it without it. Keep on doing the good work. Thank you so much
Is that base supposed to be turned backward so it doesn't interfere with doing layups?
I accidentally installed the base the wrong way, ended up doing a 2nd video on swapping it if you made the mistake also - but yeah, it def shouldn’t be in the way at the ground.
Thanks bro u were a big help dec 2023
You’re welcome!! Glad the video helped out!!
Thanks you so much for this video 🙏🏾
So glad the video helped you out!!! Thanks for checking it out!
Thank you my sons loved this one
Mines is missing the long skinny bolt that goes into the middle of the adjuster, does anyone no the exact name for it so I can buy one?
How
Is the back
Board wide enough for you guys ??
Yeah, feels pretty solid. It’s not a large as a pro goal / gym goal but it’s good and you can land some solid bank shots on it too, it’s sturdy enough for us.
Thank you homie help me thru this took me 5 hours yesterday but I watch every step got it done whoooaaa lol thanks

First shot, TOUCHDOWN! Lol! Are y'all still shooting hoops. Love ours. We use it everyday.
Haha thanks for checking out the video! Yes for sure, we still love this hoop, it’s solid!
backboard obtuse ; post acute rim acute and ski ball backboard. You Huff?
:: Does not compute ::
How do you make it taller
You adjust the height
The locking bolt for the pole and brackets on base will keep going in crooked, any help ?
SAME!! did you find a solution
Attaching the hoop to the backboard is soo difficult!! A cold one was much needed after!
You ain’t lying! 😂🤣 That thing was hard to do no doubt!!! Thanks for checking out the video!
Big help thanks
Thanks for watching! Glad the video helped out!
Help i cant get this to latch at 10 ft it wont stay! But it will latch at 8 ft Anyone else have that issue😢
I have the same problem
Something is wrong lol still never got it all the way up it's stuck at 9 😮
What’s the tallest you can put this goal on?
It goes up to 10ft

@@TheToughGuysTV my bad you’re right. I was pissed off in that moment
Thanks a bunch. I just brought this and I know I will be using this video alot
Awesome!! I posted another video for a fix to the base because I installed it backwards, so check the channel for that one if you need - good luck!

@@hove131 I left the larger plastic piece off. The smaller one is necessary I believe?
@@okramando you left the one that folds off correct?
@@hove131 Yes
This basketball hoop assembles nicely.
It did turn out pretty good! Thanks for watching
@@TheToughGuysTV Looking forward to more of your works!

Fantastic video. I installed my Lifetime backboard and hoop flawlessly thanks to you
Thank you so much ❤️🏀
About how long do you think it would take my husband to put this together? Thanks!
🧘🏻😜🤟🏼
If he's like me, about 3 days Lol! Thanks for watching!
How big is the box?
Decent size, probably need a truck I’d say 90% sure. I don’t have the exact dimensions on hand unfortunately.
@@TheToughGuysTV I’m going tommorow with a Cadillac so I’ll see if it fits thank you
Good dad
Hey! Thank you for that! 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Certainly trying to be, and thank you for the support!
Got the same basketball hook for my kids and your video was HEAVENLY!!! you're the BEST!!! THANK YOU! 👍👍👍
