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

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.

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.

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.

1. GREAT indoor hoop! We have one in the basement and my son and his friends jam on this all the time. It's far sturdier than any indoor hoop we've found! The metal framework and breakaway rim can really take a beating, too!2. My bought this to use by our pool, as well. This has been a great pool hoop. I think it's just about the most flexible and sturdiest pool hoop around. The size of the hoop and quality of the basketball that comes with this are the perfect size for the pool. I did have had to take one star off because this is the second outdoor hoop I've had to buy in about two years because it did rust on a few of the joints.This brings me to my advice: when you buy this hoop, if you are keeping it outside, buy a clearcoat or rust-proofer spray and apply it to the joints and edges of the metal pieces on this hoop. I also used a black waterproof tape where the two main poles connect to attempt to reduce any potential rust.Overall, it's still our favorite hoop and we recommend it for a wide range of uses!Note: You can easily order replacement parts for this set via the manufacturer website and we've ordered extra balls and nets there before. Our nets have taking a beating (especially in the pool) and having a few backup nets is very handy!

I grew up playing basketball and did not want my kid to have a toy-ish hoop, I especially liked the square backboard. I read all the reviews and this was the one I choose. Some reviewers stated that it was not very adjustable. I find this hard to believe, but maybe they did not consider removing the middle pole section. My 3 year old is about 3 feet tall and she loves this. At the lowest setting she has just a small toss to get it in the hoop. The hoop can adjust with a sliding mechanism built in with pin holes to select the height - in addition to the ability to remove a large middle section. I believe my kid will get many years of use from this hoop.The rim does well with a 6 inch 7 inch ball, which is a VERY small ball compared to regulation, but super fun anyways. The inside diameter is 13.5 inches - so you can use a larger ball.The base has wheels and rolls around easily when you lean it over.I had not problems with water leakage in the base, but if I do I will fix it by welding type 2 plastic into it. Buy kayak welding repair sticks and melt into the crack. Adding sand seems like a painful endeavor, but I suppose if freezing is a problem you may choose that option. I would probably find a way to cover the hole with a piece of breathable plastic to allow expansion. This is the desert so not really a problem here.
