Goaliath Basketball Hoop Install - Part 2 - The Hoop 

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.

Thank you for this video. It came in very handy putting the same hoop up for my son's Eagle Project at a local group home.

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.

This was truly a step by step video! Made my life so much easier. Thanks.

Need to put one up this week. Thanks for the video. Also nice sweatshirt. Coached a little boy in 7th grade football that played for Iowa St. A.J. Klein. Good kid!!!!

Great video... just bought the Goliath 60in and will be installing in the spring. Very helpful information... much appreciated!

Thank sir! This is the exact instructional video I needed!

Put mine together today, Here is a tip when putting posts together. Use some liquid soap on the top post to make it slide easier. Mine was a breeze

Perfect step by step video. It made it much easier to put together. Thank you .

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?

Awesome. Just finished mine. Used your video for step by step installation.

did you skip the plastic washers between backboard and arms? maybe i'll tape or glue them? that thing is heavy

Great video. Helped me bunches to put in my Silverback system that is very similar. Learned a lot. Thank you!!

Awesome Job! One man isn't always easy
