Thanks for your comments! It was really tough digging the footing -5 hours of continuous digging between three of us. Note the sweat on my shirt in the video. Its such a narrow area to dig and the ground is just so hard once you get into clay. In hindsight an auger would be better. The system is well made, I like stuff you don't have to replace I think it would last a long time. Even if you move house you could unbolt it and take it wth you!
Sorry, but I can't read or write in Arabic, but my friend Joseph Sukkar is translating for me! I have a spinal injury and struggle a lot and is the main reason why I now make UA-cam videos, which allows me to work around my limitations. Thank you very much for your comment, I appreciate it very much! God bless you
That's a good question. Michael chose the left side so he didn't have to keep running into his neighbours properly. However, everyone agreed that it looks fine, which is not for me to argue. Cheers
I just did mine today and highly recommend getting a minimix concrete delivery truck as it will save you a lot of time and effort (also avoiding exposure to silica dust) and works out cheaper. I got the minimum 0.4m3 batch of 32Mpa concrete delivered for $250 (only needed around 0.25-0.3m3) but i didn't get charged for the return of surplus and got my concrete poured (about 5 wheelbarrows), and anchors in place in under 1hr. I'm in northern Melbourne btw.
Did the same, but asked a local conc company for excess that they had from a job in the morning. They dropped .4 in our dig for a small fee. Also, used and auger. Clay sucks to dig by hand
Great video! I So many helpful details especially with the anchor kit installation. I checked out nearly every video on UA-cam regarding this topic, this one is the best. I learned a lot. Thank you.
Great video guys very thorough, especially the little tips eg keeping the plastic coverings over the bolts so they dont rust, and also the safety tips. I found the engineering side of this project very interesting. There's a lot more to concreting than I thought. Very impressed with the slam dunk by Anthony !! and when he snatched the ball off the other player 🤣.
We went to the trouble of levelling the formwork using Star peg and screws, which in turn was our guide to level the anchor when concreted it in the ground. This worked out next to perfect as we didn't need to adjust the nuts on the base to level off the ring!
Hey Ken, A bigger board might be okay but you can buy an accessory netting which could help more. I hope this link helps to see it! www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=www.goalrilla.com/products/goalrilla-yard-guard-rebounding-net-system&ved=2ahUKEwi8xvG0i5qHAxXRsFYBHdQvAtsQFnoECBcQAQ&usg=AOvVaw3ang2cHF3wLE13dch4iy9h
Hey there, thanks for the video… I have a question on my installation. I noticed that after my supporting anchor plate dried that there’s a very thin gap (I can prob slide a dime beneath it)… is that going to be an issue/problem. I guess the cement shrunk a bit during the curing and caused a very thin gap between the plate and the concrete.
Great question! As long as the gap is not excessive, that should not be a problem. I don't know about your area, but here in Sydney, threaded rod anchoring systems have been around for a long time. The one application I see uses regularly is at traffic lights. However, the threaded rod usually stands proud from the ground around 1 or 2 inches, and that systems seem to work fine. But saying that, the rods are a lot thicker!
@@quantumhomeimprovements very good… yeah I don’t think it will be any concern either… just wanted to mention my situation. If anything I suppose that I could caulk around it to keep water from filling the gap but that may not be necessary. Good comparison to the traffic light system.. I hadn’t thought of that. Well, appreciate the timely response. Have a good day.
i dont think the plate really matters long term. i think the plate's main purpose is to just keeps the anchor rods spaced correctly and level when you shove them in to the wet concrete.
We used 10mm, which was a premix bag, but obviously, a 20mm would be better for strength. However, 10mm is acceptable for load-bearing posts, but it needs to be mixed very well, which is why we used a cement mixer.
Hi Jake, I used 45mm x 70mm wide timber, and I cut the four of then 445mm long, which makes the finished internal measurement 400 mm x 400 mm. If you have a close look at the video with the frame in my hand, you will see the way I nailed all the pieces together, which will be less confused than me trying to explain for you. I hope this helps you!
That's a good question! There is no exact position that is specified in the instructions but rather, but where is the most convenient position that you the backboard to be when playing. I have placed the timestamp where I explain it on the video, which should help make it clearer for you! ua-cam.com/video/8ylBPPdcGp4/v-deo.html&si=aC4Jvhs23DcRXLV6
I believe it's because his Goalrilla hoop is placed in a restricted concrete driveway area. It's on 6 x 6 meters (20 x 20). However, they are enjoying it, going by all accounts.
I believe that the bigger the play area is, the bigger the board needs to be. However, there is nothing stopping you from putting up the biggest board available!
Personally, I would have definitely bought the pole pad so no one hurts themselves running into it, and it wouldn't hurt having the backboard pads. However, it's not too late, and by now, he might have already purchased them. Thank you very much for contributing, it was very good of you.

Why didn't you mount this to the right side of the driveway? It's now the focal point of the entry.

Mate, that's a good price for the concrete. We pay I huge penalty for small delivery. And yes, it's a great idea not to breathe dust! Good job!

That is smart! Yes, silica is one of the biggest killers in the building trade! You and your family are going to enjoy the Goalrilla! Cheers
Looks so easy when you do it Moussa. Thanks. Great video
Thanks Goldie!!! It took almost 2 days, but I am glad of the result.
Looks great. Let's play

Great job Moussa & Anthony. Well done.
Thanks Joe! I appreciate it thumbs up! It is quite easy. Just the digging was a lot of work! 😓 for Anthony!
@@quantumhomeimprovements Anthony did a great job. 5 hours wow, reminded me of the movie The Castle…..”Dad i dug another hole”.

You play a mean game of basketball Marcel but your boys are better! 😆
You never leveled the plate once inserted in the concrete first?
We went to the trouble of levelling the formwork using Star peg and screws, which in turn was our guide to level the anchor when concreted it in the ground. This worked out next to perfect as we didn't need to adjust the nuts on the base to level off the ring!
Planning to buy. Do I need a bigger Board (60") to avoid the ball going to neighbour's place? I'll position mine in the backyard

@@quantumhomeimprovements hello, i just bought the 54" as I only have around 6x4m playing area. Hows the quality of the court? any rusting issues?
@kencanda8294, Michael has not told me of any issues at this point after one & a half years! Cheers
Good quality, love it , the ring looks exactly the same as the Goliath brand but the main frame looks like better quality.
It's heavy duty for sure! Thanks Joseph!

It might have been calculated into the engineering of the structural strength, but I would agree with what you wrote!

What type of concrete size is best? Aggregate size etc.
We used 10mm, which was a premix bag, but obviously, a 20mm would be better for strength. However, 10mm is acceptable for load-bearing posts, but it needs to be mixed very well, which is why we used a cement mixer.

@@quantumhomeimprovements how many bags/pounds of concrete did it take to fill the hole? Thanks!
amazing installation and explanation! But the position of that amazing hoop is not so good 🤔🤔
I agree! Michael's driveway is small but he really wanted a Goalrila basket ball hoop. In fact he is considering having the concrete extended!
@@quantumhomeimprovements yeah, I mean the neighborhood is really cute, with those houses: but he needs a lot more space to play (like you wrote) 🤗
Why isn’t the ground mounting plate near the edge of the driveway instead of on the grass?

It avoids vibrations
Any particular reason why Michael chose the 54 inch backboard instead of the 60 inch or 72inch?
I believe it's because his Goalrilla hoop is placed in a restricted concrete driveway area. It's on 6 x 6 meters (20 x 20). However, they are enjoying it, going by all accounts.
@@quantumhomeimprovements what do you mean restricted concrete driveway area?
I have the same backboard and is definitely big enough for a small driveway. Padding around the pole is optional as well. Best ring by far. ❤ it
I believe that the bigger the play area is, the bigger the board needs to be. However, there is nothing stopping you from putting up the biggest board available!
Did the basketball hoop come with the board pads that are attached to the side of the backboard?
No but I think by memory Michael said it was an option to buy.
@@quantumhomeimprovements well he should’ve bought it as it adds protection
Personally, I would have definitely bought the pole pad so no one hurts themselves running into it, and it wouldn't hurt having the backboard pads. However, it's not too late, and by now, he might have already purchased them. Thank you very much for contributing, it was very good of you.
