There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
There is very little vibration in the board/pole when in use. In reality its very hard to notice & doesn't linger. Unless you are an NBA prospect, I doubt it would be something you would ever notice. This is a very good quality unit & it looks & plays as good as the $1000 + systems in our neighborhood.
Installation will take a couple days. One to dig the hole/set the pole (it will take 9 bags of 50lb concrete to fill the hole plus I used 2 extra bags in the pole. Wait 2 days for the concrete to cure then another 2-3 hrs to finish installation. Again the instructions are very good & the hardware is sorted & marked out already for you by the manufacturer.
The "swedge" pole design is difficult to get the full 6" overlap though. Not sure if others have had difficulty getting the full 6" overlap, but we even put hydraulic pressure on the pole using a loader & still couldn't get it all the way there. We were close enough though.
Highly recommend this system. Is every bit as good as those in the $1000-$1300 range.
The install takes some time, measuring, digging hole, concrete, all that, but worth it. Instructions very clear.
Just when I was about to give up, a miracle happened. The bottom of the pole chewed through the particle board square and the bottom struck the street with a loud clink. FIL, who was watching the orange line, shouted, "It moved!" Then it dawned on us - the particle board was absorbing all of the impact. We set down a towel to protect the end of the pole (and the street) and with two more slams we had reached the target line. So, not a manufacturer's recommendation, but you may have better luck slamming on a towel in the street than on a board.
Other install notes:
-We used quick setting concrete and required less bags than the instructions suggest. Our hole was the right depth but may have been a little narrow.
-In order to attach the backboard, I backed my CR-V up to the pole. I stood on a piece of plywood on the CR-V roof and held the backboard in place while a neighbor stood on step ladder to insert and tighten the bolts. Using a vehicle as a platform in this manner was a big help.
-I wasn't sure whether or not I should fill the pole with concrete so I contacted Escalade who advise against it. I wanted to try for a little stiffer pole so I decided to give it a shot anyway. Doing so was way more difficult than I imagined. First, I used clear caulk on all joints and bolts to try to keep mortar from leaking out and staining the pole. Then I poured some water into the pole, dropped in a length of rebar, and proceeded to try to shake quick set concrete into the pole. Mistake. It is extremely difficult to stand on a step ladder, hoist a 50lb bag over your head, and shake concrete into a 4"x4" hole. I eventually got the concrete in, added more water, another length of rebar, more water, more concrete. Then I spent an hour hosing leaks and concrete dust off the pole so it wouldn't stain. Still, I have one etched stain that vinegar will not remove. End result - I'd say the pole is ~twice as stiff as it was to start. It feels more solid, but probably not worth the effort.
The system looks gorgeous installed and we get a lot of compliments from neighbors and people walking by. It makes the portable systems look like toys. The kids love it, it plays well, and any shake is really pretty minor. The crank easily raises and lowers the basket. Aside from my ill-advised pole filling, installation wasn't too difficult - once we accidentally discovered the trick to mating the poles. I don't think you can do better unless you want to buy one of the systems costing close to $1000 which would get you a pole with a greater cross-section and/or thicker gauge steel. Note that any shake comes not from the anchor, nor from the junction between the two poles, but from the length of the pole above the ground. While the filling seemed to help a little, for the shake obsessed, only thicker gauge and a greater cross-section will really help. I think it is fine as it is.
We read the reviews and there's some good diagrams to from some other reviewers that really made sense. We used the extension ladder/rope system and it was super easy to do. I had my son on the rope, and a work pal and I each on a step ladder, but we could've probably done it with just 1 ladder. When you lower it to the lowest height, a 6' guy like me can pretty much hit those bolts with just a chair.
I really don't get why they tell you to drop a cinderblock in there and pour the hole like that. We just leveled the post to be flush with the driveway and belled out the bottom of the hole before we poured the concrete. It's as solid as a tree trunk. And I have yet to see any rattle or vibration, even with some half-court shots hitting the backboard. We also did not pour any concrete into the lower section of the post. Can you imagine another homeowner trying to remove that with a sawzall?
Also, I recommend you lay everything out and get your socket sets and wrenches as well as your cordless drill with a hexhead for the self-tapping screws all laid out before you start hanging it. A few mins of pre-reading the instructions and making sure you have the right tools and attachments ensured we didn't have to have someone go looking for stuff while someone else is trying to hold up the backboard.
