Read before installing so you know what you are getting into

I normally don’t write reviews but I wanted to give a heads up to anyone installing this backboard of my thoughts. I mounted the backboard on the universal mount on my garage wall above our garage. The products came well packaged and all hardware was there. Give yourself a good 4-5 hours to install the backboard and lots of workspace. I am fairly handy but this was a larger job than I expected. Read the directions carefully as I agree with other reviews the directions are not very good. The pieces are not well marked to match the directions and you need to line up the parts visually and very carefully. I had to take apart and put back together the rim when the springs did not fit the first time. Unless you have a 10 foot ladder to balance the weight of the board when you bolt the backboard to the mount and the strength to lift the backboard by yourself you will need an adult helper. Don’t get into this project and realize you need help. When finished the hoop looks good and I suspect I will forget the difficult installation so it gets 3 stars from me but plan ahead when you do your install.
