    Just found a hoop on the side of the road with broken backboard. If it’s still there, I’m doing this today!! This was the simplest and straightforward video. Thank you!

    We have the same exact backboard and frame. This is great, we will buy our supplies today! Thanks

    This repair will work but if you want the acrylic to be stronger just take the rim off and drill the holes. Removing that piece creates a potential to crack but other than that, good job!

    Interesting advice. I am looking into doing this repair. You think screwing into the glass is ok? What is the best material for backboard? Plexiglass or some other material?

    Awesome repair, been 2 years. How's the duct tape holding up? My white lines are all faded and chipping away. I would like to redo but not sure which route to take. My backboard is glass

    But that size sheet of OPTIX Acrylic must have been well over $100!
    It's still a sweet DIY project and video nice to do with the kids very cool but whole hoop could be replaced at price of these parts.
