    I got my kids this Goaliath Basketball Hoop for Christmas last year and am just now finally getting to install it. I have not installed a basketball hoop before, but I was not worried about the task. A good amount of manual labor is always good! I hope you enjoy Part 1, installing the anchor system!

    Great video. I got the same hoop y'all installed and I gotta say you got some dedication! It's a rough hoop to put it up but it's worth it in the end 🏀

    Hey, GeekSmart,
    Thanks for posting this video. I learned some good things from you and from the comments. Even the comments which were a bit know-it-all-ish were helpful. And I wouldn't have gotten to read them if you hadn't made yourself vulnerable and posted your work. So thanks!

    Great video until the end. The hold down bolts are too close to the edge of the "round form". You need 4" all around the bolts at a minimum. I guarantee the concrete blew out in these areas.

      So definitely need the 16” form?

  • @JOEB955
    @JOEB955 7 лет назад +20

    I certainly would not do it this way. Just take some 2 x 4's and make a frame for the footing. The anchor bolts are way way too close to the outside edge!

      Agreed, way too close to the edge. Should have read the instructions before he started this project, and once he did, he should have followed the instructions and done a 16" diameter hole.

      I just did this from a different video. I looked up videos to see how many bags they used cause I only needed 5.
      Now being that you guys say it will snap at the anchor…you guys suggest I dig around it…? 6” deep maybe? And fill it with concrete. One guy said you need like 11 bags so I got 6 left. I can use 1-2 and reinforce it…good idea?

      I thought that also…plus the concrete looked a little dry and moving the plate around can cause sloppy holes if it was.

    As an "old" contractor, I recommend a good pair of leather work boots! Composite hard toe, water and slip resistant. I personally like electrical and puncture resistant as well....but that's because of my work. But NEVER work in sandals! Boots offer safety and anyone who does this type of work for a living knows you occasionally drop things on your toe....also climbing a ladder requires boots!

      I used about 5 80# bags of high strength. I’m actually gonna dig around it and add 1-2’ of extra cement to support it since I went w a 12” form

    Will rain affect the 72 hours molding process? Does it need to be covered up?

    • @GeekSmart
      @GeekSmart  4 года назад

      As long as the concrete is hard, rain may actually slow the curing process. I would want at least 12 hours cured before rain started, then it wouldn’t have a large effect. If you second guess it, let it sit another day.

    • @julianklietz6558
      @julianklietz6558 2 года назад +1

      concrete can be fully submerged in water and still cure 100% fine, infact you should keep young concrete wet for up to a week to prevent cracking caused by repeated moistning and drying.

  • @JimBification
    @JimBification 5 лет назад

    Dropping the reinforcement so low is not good. Now you have nothing to transmit pull out forces from the bolts down to the foundation. You need bar high enough to engage the anchor bolt pull out cones to avoid snapping off the top of foundation. That backboard hanging up there is creating a lot of overturning force.

    I bought one used for 400.oo but I didn't get the plate bolts how much are they I got to hire someone cause if u don't set right it will make the goal of center and sang plus I've got the 60 inch back board and we get bad weather coming out of the West if it's not set right I'd screw it up

    The hole should have been dug square, to stop the ring rotating.
    Also not enough gap between bolts and edge of concrete.
    You really should follow the manufacturers recommendations, as its your kids safety at stake here. Do not follow what he's done people.
