Lifetime Universal Backboard Mounting Kit for Pole, Roof, or Wall, Outdoor Use, Ages 8+, Hardware Included, 1 Count (9594)

Just put up today. Attached to garage and was fairly easy. Delivery was a few days longer than expected but that was Fedex not seller.

Have to purchase backboard mounting kit... otherwise product doesn't come with necessary mounting hardware. Instructions are not clear but assembly loosely so fix mistakes before tightening. Recommend studying instructions before attempting to assemble

The wall mount was great but it did not fit my Lifetime backboard even though it stated it fill most Lifetime backboards.

if you're a handy person with your tools and you decide you don't want holes on your roof this kit is user friendly to adapt to anything else to mount your blackboard

This kit contains a ton of hardware. I used it to mount the new backboard to an existing adjustable pole setup. There is hardware for a rooftop mount, wall mount, and pole mount.

It worked perfectly. They are very happy with the results and my son couldn't have mounted the backboard without the kit.

While the strength is yet to be really tested, this kit was a "joy to behold"! [the writer is an active 72 year old systems engineer by trade - who did the install by himself - yes, i saw that was not recommended - and i am not recommending for anyone. but i got it done and it would have been totally impossible were the product not so well designed] the only reason i did not mark 5 stars was the design of the backboard "slots" combined with the one instruction deficiency. the slots should be longer, more narrow [and maybe strengthened] or a larger head carriage bolt provided. This is complicated by the instructions not making clear how the diagonals are connected [braces are shown - but make it appear the braces have something to do with the slots]. so, would i do it again? you bet! [and i would make sure my wife was not home to see me on a ladder with the backstop in hand!]

This bracket has three configurations: pole mount, wall mount, and roof mount. I did the wall mount. This bracket has many parts, and it took me the better part of three hours to figure it all out from the instructions and diagrams. I am a seasoned handyman, and I suspect less experienced assemblers may not have the patience. It is a good product once assembled. You can't attach the backboard with a cresent wrench. you'll need a rachet and a vice grips. Once the bracket is attached to the wall, I recommend hanging up the backboard to the bracket with some baling wire before attempting to thread the two large bolts through the holes. The backboard gets heavy quickly while holding it up on a ladder. Definitely a two person job.

Installation of the product was quite difficult, in that the instructions were incomplete.  I had to rely on the pictures, which were quite small.  I'm quite mechanically-oriented, but it took me about ten hours and three tries to correctly mount it due to problems and discrepancies in the instructions.  The accompanying nuts are not lock nuts, so with all the use of the backboard, they keep working loose no matter how tight I make them.  It would have been better to work additional washers into the design or else use lock nuts.  Also, the instructions really need to be clarified in terms of the 8" vertical spacing; I had to bore two sets of holes before I figured out how it needed to be mounted.  And seriously?  You can't even list ahead of time the additional hardware required for mounting this?  For $50, I really expected better quality in both the product and instructions.

does not fit my model even though it said it does. I dis a lot of research and it brought me to this exact one but it does not fit
