there has been complaint about the top half of the pole and how it attached to the bottom; there is no nuts or screw used to hold them together?

The pole is square and there is about a four inch one into the other, very tight fit, and then the pole is filled with concrete. Mine has been standing solidly, not loose at all. Kids love it and how easy it is to raise or lower.

We had the system professional installed and have not had any issues with the goal

Without seeing your particular one I don't know but we replaced ours and it wasn't a problem. It gives you all of the pieces that go on the top (the arms and poles to adjust it). So we basicallyTook our old back board off and the frame at the top and had a tall pole with holes open at the top and that was it. All the rest came in the box.

The base and pole are separate when shipped, the pole attaches to the base by being screwed on a ~10mm threaded mount (did not actually measure this - from my foggy memory).

There is a tab on the bottom that locks the two pieces together with a screw. I didn't use it but looking at it and reading some other reviews you will need a long screwdriver.

There should be a bottom piece that screws offIf this was not included in original shipmentsuggest contact Amazon for replacement

Yes, the one I received was put together with staples and was coming apart at the bottom of feeder.I bought some wood screws at Lowe's and hired a neighbor man to reinforce it with nine screws and a drill.

Once assembled, it is flat on the top and bottom, (no screws, if you assemble it correctly)

Hi Jaime. The pole is tension mounted--there are no screws at the base or at the cieling.

Hi Katie! My husband had the same issue and tried several screwdrivers to screw them in as much as they would go, but he could only get them to screw about half way in. While not ideal, the top part felt very sturdy even with half of the screw in each pole. He covered those screws with the small, circular foam piece for that section and then put the netting over top of that, and it has held up very well to my kids crazy bouncing. I wish the screw holes were a bit bigger so that those screws actually could fit into them. We were afraid to try and drill bigger holes for fear then they would be too wide and the screws would not hold at all. If you do find a good solution, please share!! =)

We nailed it to a board and then put it in the ground and covered it with dirt to hold it in place, there should be holes on the bottom of the pole to latch it to something, this worked really well and keeps it from falling over.

YES, but make sure all the pieces are there. I had an issue w/the poles not being there

There are two adjustments on the bottom that require the special tools the pole comes with. Loosen to spin, tighten for a standing pole.

I belive you need to contact the vendor for a return. Mine came with the screw included which is what you will need to put it in place along with a nut. All pieces were included.

Its a pole. You can unscrew it to loosen it then extend it and put a peg thru to lock the height in and tighten it.

It's been a while but I believe it was a forked metal bottom that was a bit tough for me to get into the ground (my husband was nice enough to drive it into the ground for me). It's been there ever since; no problems. My only complaint is I can't find the extension kit anywhere so the pole is a bit shorter than I would have liked.

You have to tighten the set screw in the bottom of the pole to make it stationary before you can get it to loosen up. Then I used a pipe wrench to unscrew the top. The wrench they send is kind of useless
