SKLZ Pro Mini Hoop Outdoor Basketball System with Adjustable-Height Pole and 7-Inch Ball, HP08-000

This is our second skilz system hoop. Our first one lasted a long time and was outside in the northern Pennsylvania elements. We use this as a basketball hoop for our pool. The backboard finally broke one day when our son was making a basket, perhaps it was his strength and ability? LOL.Ordered this new hoop and the 15 year old was easily able to put it together with the help of his friend. The only complaint I have is that the net it came with did not fit the rim. It was much too small. Having said this, I had been looking for a net for the old hoop prior to it breaking and and been unable to find one that fit. the replacement net on skilz website was out of stock for months on end. I was hoping this would come with a net that fit and we would be set. No such luck. I have had to use a regulation size net and let a few of the loops dangle.It is also important to note that replacement parts are generally available on the skilz website. Our last hoop fell over in a windstorm and the rim bent. There are only so many times you can bend them back into place before they break. You can order replacement rims, which are then quite easy to replace. Replacement rim bought us many more years with our last hoop. Unfortunately, an entire backboard was not on the replacement parts list so here we are - hoop number 2.This gets a ton of use with two boys and all their friends with an above ground pool. We leave it out year round and have had minimal rust on our previous systems. Make sure you fill it with water and use a rock or some other weight for extra support if you live in an area that is prone to high wind though.

My 12 yo son LOVES this thing. It is in his rec room. Assembly is def easier with two people! One cool thing is that it’s indoor /outdoor and the height is adjustable -you can even wheel it out to be poolside. We just put water in the base versus sand and it’s very sturdy.

Everything was in the box that was suppose to be. My husband said it was easy to put together. I did see him going to his took box a couple times but don't know which tool he needed I will ask and update the review. This basketball goal is perfect for my 6yr old grandson. It was his birthday present and he was incredibly excited to get it. I haven't filled it up with water yet so I don't know if it leaks like some of the others had complained about. Again will update the review once I do that. So far I am very happy with it and would recommend. I will add that I bought the used one in very his condition and it was actually new just had a little hole about 3 inches like maybe it was punctured by something. This did not effect the basketball goal at all. It was shipped in a slightly larger box with the goal in the original box. So it was packaged very well.

My young son is just a basketball fanatic right now. He has a nerf mini backboard, but I thought it'd be better to get something that would give him a closer feel to a real rim. Some of the other oversized mini backboards seemed nice, but not quite as versatile. I didn't want to be limited by a door or permanently fastening it to a wall. I looked for a few weeks then stumbled across this. I suppose this is more for outdoor or poolside use, but I put it in my basement and it's great.I just weigh down the rim with a single 45lb bench weight and it's plenty stable for my son to dunk. I like the adjustability of the height.Main downsides are it's pretty noise and not the best quality materials. All the joints clang and the plastic backboard resonates a lot. I tried to dampen the noise with some electric tape around the joints and shock absorbers on the back. It helps, but I think if the design was tighter and made of more solid material it would be quieter. Also, the rim is already leaning down after only a couple weeks. Mostly from the spring losing a little of it's elasticity.Overall I'd still recommend it since it versatile and fun. Feels very close to outdoor play with it having metal rim.

We sat ours up on the back porch just for some HORSE while sitting out back. It's super fun. We'll built, had to make a few adjustments and it was not the easiest to put together, but still nice.

The media could not be loaded. I rarely leave reviews, but this one deserves a warning for anyone considering it.This basketball hoop is incredibly low quality and flimsy. The backboard feels like it’s made from cheap plastic that wobbles with even a light shot. The rim is poorly secured and started tilting after just a few days of casual play by my kids — not dunking, not roughhousing, just basic shooting. The pole and base are equally weak and do nothing to stabilize the structure. It looks and feels like a toy you’d expect from a dollar store, not something sold at this price point.Assembly instructions were vague, and even once set up, the entire hoop leans and rattles with minimal contact. I expected at least basic sturdiness for driveway shooting — this isn’t it.Save yourself the headache and buy a hoop that’s actually designed for outdoor use with kids. This one is a total letdown. Avoid at all costs.
