It's like they want you to jump through hoops with those directions.

It's a couple poles, a backboard and a rim. Maybe see if your boyfriend can do it.

If you got the real nice one with square pole and glass adjustable backboard, God speed.


The brackets on the backboard were damn near impossible

Yes, and it wasn't nearly as bad as some other things I've had to assemble. I put together a patio furniture set a few weeks ago. It nearly broke me and momentarily stole my will to live.

You need another person to help. It's difficult doing it solo

Did so years ago when sons were 7 and 8. In BR when temps around Christmas Eve were (it seemed) in the teens. Think Cuba Gooding assembling that flange underwater in Men of Honor. Took almost as long. Drink will surely help. Prayer and commiseration.

The goal is the round thing. It attaches to the thing that looks like a poker table. The thing that looks like your moms lace is called a net. It attaches to the round thing.


Your welcome.
