    So now that the anchor system is complete, it is time to put together the hoop itself and effect it onto the freshly poured concrete. I waited 3 days after pouring to install the hoop, as instructed, to allow the concrete to properly cure. I will say the hardest part of the entire procedure was the backboard install, although the digging / concrete mixing was the most physically demanding. The backboard is just quite heavy and can be awkward to hold while others are installing the fasteners. I hope you have enjoyed these videos, so thanks again for watching!

    Thank you for these videos, a HUGE help! Just finished installing the Goaliath 60" In-ground System for my teenaged son. Slamming the 2 poles together was definitely the hardest part, our bottom pole didn't have the bent ends. Ended up using a sledge hammer and some scrap 6x6s for propping and hitting to get it as close to the line as possible. I'm still out a 1/2", but picked up an extra 3/8 x 5" bolt and hardware, drilled and set it right in the middle of the joint. The backboard was fairly heavy for a 1-man carry... I had an 8-ft ladder, placed it in line with the bottom bracket to rest the board it on, my son adjusted the actuator to line it up to the holes and all good. Oh yah, and we had electrical-taped the 4 black washers to the backboard to minimize any issue while up in the air. Read through many of the comments below before making this purchase and was worried about the wobble factor, but this thing is super solid. I'd rate my wobble at a 1/10. Cheers!

    Great video and excellent instruction. Two things I want to commend you on. First, you got your neighbor involved only when you really needed his help. You did all the pre-work up to that point and didn’t make your project his as well. I think we’ve all had a five minute need become an all day use because of this. And more importantly, I really like how patient with your daughter you were and allowed her to participate in the build. Teaching lessons at an early age. Good job and can’t wait to build mine.

    Super Dad. Good job. Just bought this system myself. Starting this morning on it. Wish me luck. I like the idea to fill the pole with concrete. I bought 9 bags of 80lb quickcrete. Do you erect the first section of pole, then fill it? Or fill from top of second section after it is up?

    Great video. I used to have a summer job putting these in. We would assemble the backboard to the pole before anchoring the system. Much easier. Also, we'd dig a distance away from the court/driveway so that the front of the pole is 27" from the edge to maximize on the playing area. The 27" distance ensures the backboard will be aligned with the edge of the court and digging away from the court minimized vibration.
