Is there no way around drilling and hammering and whatever else you all are doing to assemble this system? Sounds crazy to spend 3 hours assembling?

No. Just follow directions. It isn't hard to assemble. Could use an extra hand. Took my son and husband @ 2 or more hours. The family loves it. Well worth the few hours of assembly time.

It is a very simple process, but it is like anything you assembly it takes a little time, especially when you are doing it the first time.

Bought this bball hoop for my church. There is no way around it... Was more like 4-5 hours for me with one other person helping me. Nice hoop nonetheless.

3 hour is a good amount of time i found that if there are two of you you can move quicker but yes it does take time and i would suggest taking the time as it is unforgiving if you make a mistake

Assembly was a little difficult but a great hoop and really easy to make taller or shorter.

There's no way around it, and BE CAREFUL. There is at least one point where once you assemble two pieces, there's no going back. If you do it wrong, you will have wasted your $300-$400. The entire thing becomes unusable.

Nope. It has to do with the design of the basketball hoop. It is a pain to put together.

We ended up having to pay a handyman to put this together, even with the instructions! I have the instruction files they sent me but I don't seem to be able to attach them here &#128563;

By now you understand it's not assembled. My daughter and I had it together in about 1 1/2 hrs. No special tools required

Yes, assembly is required. It took me between 3 and 4 hours, and I did almost all of it by myself. A friend helped me with one of the electronic connections that for some reason I was not hooking up correctly. I would say, that I am a person that can follow directions, but am not super handy at this sort of thing, but was able to do it. I just took my time and followed the directions exactly.

no I can not. there was no hardware in the box to put this item together. I've tried several times to no avail to get the hardware delivered sent to me. thanks for reminding me I need to try again.

There is assembly required. The head, arms, legs and base supports all need to be installed. I wouldn't say it was difficult, just take your time so you don't have a squeeky part :-)

No, I'm afraid not. It took me approximately 4 hours to assemble (admittedly after a tiring day), but should take substantially less time if you have an assistant. However, it works and looks terrific upon completion.

Yes, it is definitely a two-person task to put this thing together. I don't have the directions still but I remember starting at the bottom first. Wish I was more help!

As best as we can recall we needed a hammer to tap a few caps on, a wrench to tighten screws and screwdriver. Also on ours a cpl of the drilled holes were not not big enough so we did have to use a drill. It took approximatley 2 hours for my son and I put one together. We bought two, my husband helped with the second one which of course was much quicker having put the first one together. Definately need two people.

I had teenage son do it. He had no trouble with assembly. Not an answer, I know, but make sure you have all parts and hardware.

It took about a halh an hour. i did it myself but if you can get an extra hand would help. Well built with no problems to put together.

i think some assembly is required. just go to Walmart and they'll do it for you free.

It's been a minute since I put mine together, but if memory severs me, you'll need a Phillips screwdriver, a hammer, and a drill to mount it. I also made a template to use when hanging mine, so that I knew it would be straight. The instructions are terrible so you'll need a bit a patience too :0)

It comes with a tool that can be used to assemble it. I did use the tool they provided for most of the assembly, but it is easier if you have a phillips screwdriver and a basic socket wrench set.

Hi, I had the same problem. There were no screws or assemble instructions included in the box. Did you have assembly pins ans screws included with yours?

I am sure that is a great question, but I have no idea since there were no directions for assembly. I felt there was too many parts and none of them were the ones I needed.

Paul, when they delivered for me they did not attach the set to the base, my husband had to do that himself. They said they are not allowed to do any assembly according to the guys who delivered ours.
