    Great video... 1 question. On the part where you did the pole to base assembly.. how did you get those screws to face down from the pole Into the base and put the nuts on the back side of the bracket and base ??? On mine the screws go up from the base into the pole with no way of putting a nut on the ends of the screws because they're inside the pole. How did you screw those screws into the pole and then put the nuts on the other end of those threaded screws???🤔🤔

    • @MotoringAdventures_KE7SAI
      @MotoringAdventures_KE7SAI  8 месяцев назад

      They were dual ended studs, meaning they are threaded on both ends. I simply threaded one end of them into the bottom of the pre-threaded holes located on the bottom of the pole. This can be seen @4:50 in the video. I threaded them all the way to the hex nut on the studs and tightened them until secure.

      @@MikeyKun-w6s Hmm, that’s odd. It definitely should not be doing that. See if the latch that locks it in place is installed properly. In order to squeeze the handle there should be a latch that you have to press with the handle in order to release the strut and once you set in place, you let go of that handle and it latches it in place so it cannot move.

    • @MotoringAdventures_KE7SAI
      @MotoringAdventures_KE7SAI  8 месяцев назад

      Mine wasn’t exactly level either. It was close but I wanted perfection lol. I used some old 2’x2’ kitchen tiles that we had leftover from the previous owner of our house and used them like shims underneath the the tank at the bottom of the assembly, in order to get it as level as possible using a bubble level on the backboard. Not very scientific but I hope that helps!

    I just noticed that there are 2 stickers on the back of the pole that explains how to adjust the height and how to move the hoop, my question is why is it on the back and not the front as the instruction guide says it has to face the front

    • @MotoringAdventures_KE7SAI
      @MotoringAdventures_KE7SAI  2 года назад

      Good catch! I did not even notice that in the instructions! The adjustment is made in the back, so it might make sense to have the stickers face the back??? We haven't really looked at the stickers much. Adjusting it is pretty easy and self-explanitory once you begin to adjust it.

    Question I’m struggling to make the net lower. It requires so much power and still doesn’t do the trick lol. It goes up to 10 feet easily. Any tips on how to fix it?

    • @MotoringAdventures_KE7SAI
      @MotoringAdventures_KE7SAI  Год назад

      We have noticed that it is easier to go up than down (since going up means pulling down on the assembly and you have weight and gravity on your side). When bringing the net down, try to position your footing so that you can leverage your legs as much as possible. This may be tricky if not very tall. My 9 year old daughter struggles with this but when she usually just gets better footing and then is able to do it. Also, maybe adjust the tightness on some of the nuts on the arms that are connecting to the back of the backboard might help a little. Having them too tight might make more difficult. They don’t give any torque specs in the instructions so it’s hard to tell if there too tight or not. I hope this helps! Sorry I don’t have a more definitive answer.

      It's more forgiving than glass. Less likely to break from a rock throw or something of that nature. Although it does not give as much ball response (bounce) as glass, I believe it might be better than a cheaper plastic backboard. Does that make sense?

I used the base gel because it's supposed to last all through the winter, even after a hard freeze. Which doesn't happen too often here in San Antonio but, we do get an occasional ice and snow storm. In a pinch, the base gel can convert back to water by adding salt, I believe. This allows me to empty it and roll it into the garage if I did need to store it.
