A: Hi Heather - Great question. If your local store doesn't have an assembly option, Spalding has partnered with Assemblers Inc., and they are our preferred installation company. You can contact Assemblers Inc. directly at 1-888-499-2720 seven days a week, 8 am - 7 pm EST for all your installation needs.
A: Hi Barbara - This unit has our Performance Acrylic backboard vs. the Shatterproof Polycarbonate backboard. The acrylic board provides a better rebound while maintaining that clear view. In terms of playability, our glass backboards would be the next step up.

A: Oh no, you are correct a net should have been included with your basketball hoop. Please process your warranty and replacement through the link below. Once completed, we’ll issue you a new net.

A: Hi Mark - You can do dunk-like activities, but we don’t recommend any excessive dunking or hanging on the rim for your safety.
A: Hi Joe - Great questions. All three models will have a five-year warranty on the backboard and a one-year warranty on all other parts. The easiest model to move is our Beast Basketball Hoop. The base has four wheels and a pull handle for easy mobility. The main advantage of our Ultimate Hybrid hoop is the base can hold both bags of sand and water for ultimate stability.
