Details about Spalding Portable Basketball System - 60" Aluminum Trim Acrylic Backboard

ASIN number: B003DT5Q3Q
Brand: Spalding

The Spalding 68562 features a 60" steel framed acrylic backboard with authentic style board pads. The Screw Jack lift system features a removable handle to prevent tampering once the desired height has been set. The system features 2 wheels for ease of movement when relocating the basketball system. The front cover also serves as a built in rebounder during play. The 40-gallon base helps provide the system with stability and safety. This system features a 3 piece, 3.5" round pole set at a 20 degree angle from the base.Designed to sit in a driveway, backyard, or any other open space, the Spalding 60-inch portable basketball system will turn your paved landscape into a jump-shooting haven. The system starts with a 60-inch acrylic backboard with a heavy-duty steel frame. The board offers the same look and feel as pro-style glass backboards, helping you shoot layups and bank shots with confidence. The Arena Slam breakaway rim, meanwhile, holds up well against the force of emphatic dunks--a must for modern hoops. The rim includes an institutional-style wrap with steel support braces, along with an ultra-smooth spring action that's designed to flex when pressure is applied, helping relieve stress from the backboard during game play. And hops-challenged players will love the hoop's Screw Jack lift system, which lets you adjust the height from 7.5 to 10 feet in infinite increments. When the hoop is at your preferred height, the handle removes to prevent tampering or accidental injuries. Other features include a two-wheel, 40-gallon base that fills with sand or water for maximum stability and safety; a front cover that acts as a built-in rebounder during play; a 16-inch board offset; and a three-piece, 3.5-inch-diameter round pole set at a 20-degree angle from the base.

Pleasant surprise
My biggest fear in buying this hoop for my son was that I'd teach him a few new bad words if he helped me assemble it. I am NOT "handy" and have "learned" over the years that instruction manual authors and illustrators undergo special training so they can convey ambiguous and deceptive directions.

But the assembly was such a pleasant surprise and the end product so awesome, I had to post a review (my first ever, for anything).

The end product is attractive and solid. We live in the Midwest and I was afraid the large backboard would act like a sail on windy days. Being able to lower the backboard when not in use is a big plus and it's very easy to do. We filled the tank with water and, as per the directions, 2 gallons of antifreeze since we live in a cold climate. I believe that will work fine, but the day after final assembly the weather forecast called for 40-50 mph gusts. So being a bit of a ninny, I put an extra 150lbs of ballast (bags of rock salt) on...
OG Player
I would recommend this systems to anyone who wants to avoid a cheap basketball system. I bought this goal from Amazon and it was delivered within a few days. I read the instructions, so I thought thoroughly but missed focusing on the bouncing of the pole part. Please know it is not necessary to bounce the pole for as long as I did. The instructions say subtely, that when the poles stop moving you can stop. They should be about 1.5 inches from the sticker that tells which pole is which (i.e., bottom, top, etc.). I figuered that out and moved through the directions. Everything went as designed. Be advised again, this sytem is heavy which is great because you know you have a quality system. The instructions will tell you there will be parts left over because the bolts, screws etc., that come with it fit several systems. I think I used just about everything. The directions also talk about using a saw horse to assist with the assembly. I have standard size saw horses and they...
Parts do not work together
Do not buy. This would really not be that hard to assemble, if it came with the correct parts. A few pages into the manual it states that if there are missing parts, do not go back to the store, and it gives an 800 number to call. When I called they were apparently not surprised by the call and sent me all the parts I asked for on a no questions asked basis. The parts arrived within 4-5 days. The metal holes cut in the backboard frame don't take the 1/2" x 8" hex bolts that comes with the set, because after the first inch or so of thread, the bolts are threadless and larger than 1/2", so you either have to drill the frame (we were not equipped to drill metal) or go to the hardware store to buy slightly thinner bolts, which we did which worked. When we finished and got to the end of the instructions, there was a note that stated it was normal to have parts left over after assembly, because the kit was meant for several models. Finally, after the thing was assembled, the part that...
