My other one that came with the whole unit cracked because we put a piece on wrong so I went to lifetimes website and the same one I purchased thru amazon cost $60 less and was the same exact one from lifetime. It fit exactly on my pole and base from the older one perfect fit and it only took an hour tops to put it together and take the old one off. I would def buy it again!

The perfect solution to replace a broken backboard. All of the mounting holes lined up perfectly and only took about 20-30 minutes to complete. I'd highly recommend this set up for anyone looking to replace their backboard!

I'm not sure what engineer thought that driving a lag screw into a plastic hole would be a good way to securely hold a backboard but that's what they did. I bought both the backboard and the mounting bracket from Lifetime. I followed the instructions to the letter. Not only did they have me drive a lag into the plastic hole, they later had me remove it and add an additional bracket that just made the whole assembly less secure as now the lag was not able to fully tighten. By the time we had the thing on the roof and secured the lag was already pulling out of the backboard. I re-tightend it as well as I could without stripping it but I have no hopes that this installation will last. Wasted money. Pay a little more and go for a more robust system.
MARCH 2013 UPDATE
We had our first full ball game with the college kids our son brought home with him. No slamma/jamma or any of the stuff but a regular ball game. The backboard didn't last 1/2 hour before one side came apart. I bought some carriage bolts and drilled holes though the BBoard to support it better but it just wont hold together. The gauge of the metal used for the mounting bracket is not sufficient to strongly hold the system. It is hanging on a 15 degree angle off the garage. This system has been a complete failure and a waste of the purchase price. We will now have to go buy a better, more expensive system or perhaps fabricate one ourselves.
