Thanks for the tip!! My brother just broke his hoop and the rest of it is still good so I figured I may as well fix it instead of my dad buying a brand new one. Really helpful thanks!
Thanks for the tip! I found a complete setup basketball rim, but the backboard has a hole in it... 11×15 I'm going to give it a try, because I can't afford a new one 2023 North Carolina Thanks again
My son's broke his backboard while shooting three pointers. What i did is take the bucket off and completely take off the broken backboard. My sister works for a commercial glass company and i asked her if they had any scrap 1/8 " or 1/4 plexiglass I could have or buy. They donated me a piece of 1/8" and 1/2". The 1/2" is very expensive so i would never buy that. Its best to just get a new basketball pole. Since it was donated I used the 1/2" piece and then resigned the backboard pinstripes using color tapes i bought at a hobby lobby. I glued the plexiglass with a tube of gasketmaker or RTV i bought at autopart store. I drilled the holes for the hoop and glued it together. Now it will never break from any shots to goal. Heavy duty!
What about calling the company for the right backboard replacement parts? I thought we could buy a replacement backboard... because the company knows it is the part that will be broken.
You need to curve the broken area to give it straight line then cut new acrelic rectangle the glue with chloroform all skrach will disappear "forget sandwich" bad idea

Good idea. Suggestion-cut the triangle into a neat square then install the plexiglass overlapping the square.
I would do anything to have a flat driveway that big
Same

Can I hire to fix my broken backboard
What company does your work sister work for?
Did you use a heat gun to remove the old one?
Definitely giving this a try
great tip on fixing the backboard for cheap. Terrible looking basketball shot though, lol.
😂 I know
Saved my life after my brother thought he was cool to get a stick and break the basketball hoop with it. He also is a ONEFOUR wanna be
Just picked up a adjustable spalding with broken acrylic backboard for free! Thanks for the info
the sandwich is nessesary… otherwise, the repeated shots can pushout the rear fixture.
I broke my and now there goes my lockdown fun😢😞 only bc I got pissed at it and through a cricket ball at it like
Thank you
Am i the only one looking for a backboard replacement
no
Me too
Me too been reading at reviews on Amazon
You've actually found some?
No
For the white glass that u installed at the backboard is it same as the black one too or different material?
Yeah, it’s the same material, just different colors
Thank u!
You're welcome!
How's the backboard holding up over time?
Good question. OP?
Thinks for the video
Flex glue the broken part wold be a good idea
Thank you!!!! This is fantastic!
That's a great idea but I will put it clear
I’m wondering if there is a glue out there that will dry clear for clear plexiglass?
Just a random sticky frog walking over your hoop. Lol!
I have the exact one you have

Woodglut is nice for that.
Dude you're Killin the backboard! Arch your shot. Aim for the rim
😂 that’s the best I can shoot lol
Oh ok Lebron, you’re the expert 🙄🙄🙄
I was making a trick shot from my driveway and put a hole in it 😀
same, what’d you do? i just chucked the basketball at my hoop and it broke but my dad doesn’t believe me lol
How did you break your backboard?
Break it when I was installing it, while trying to put the pole on... the pole fell on it.... 😭
You fixed your backboard pretty good. It looks kinda better.
Thanks! And Yeah, I thought the same thing :)
I threw a baseball bat through mine! wasn't aiming for it but bulls eye!
I just threw the basketball as hard as I physically could but the backboard is like 6 years old
Why didn't you just use Clear plexiglass for the square piece too
Because the glue made it look bad so I used black to cover up the glues
I’m a serious person at basketball but since u says the glass is thick will effect my shooting but I just don’t want to spend money for a new one : (
Thats the reason i dont want to buy a plexiglass hoop it gets brittle with the sun
You could have just returned to store for a free replacement, unless you’re living outside the US.
bruh i just broke my neighbors hoop 💀💀 should i leave it there? I'm freaking shaking 😭😭
Not sure why they don't sell the bloody things to replace
Spalding has a 1 year replacement on their backboards
Yea but most backboards don’t break a year in
Really how do we get in contact with them
A huge storm came and knocked my goal down and the back board shattered
@@luisburgos5040 same happened to me a week ayo
@@zzeza0797 where you able to get replacement?
Because my even worst then urs my backboard completely crack at left side with a big hole
Wongkwogsum Wong yeah same here not too sure how I broke it with a basketball😂
