            Comments about Spalding 8839R Universal Adjustable Basketball Backboard Mounting Bracket:

            On the one hand this product is great, because you can use it for many different backboard set ups. On the other hand there are so many different set ups, it is hard to know which directions you are supposed to use to set it up correctly. Directions were difficult to follow, pictures were small and pieces didn't always fit well together and you definitely need more than 2 strong adults to hang it, it is very, very heavy and awkward once you get it all put together. Seems to work well now that we have it up, it is easy to raise and lower the backboard, but it was a challenge to put together and hang.

                The instructions for the wall mount were incomplete and some of the illustrations were inaccurate. Nowhere did it say you would need to provide your own bolts.

                Once installed it works well. I can raise or lower the hight as appropriate for my kids.

                Installed this unit on a sloping garage roof with the help of my 12 year old son. Took about 2.5 hours total. Durable design with good range of adjustment. [...]
