The assembly was only complicated because hardware for about 6 or 8 possible installations is included in the package. Very stable and light weight.
Good universal mount could come with better instruction manual..
I went to Home Depot and purchased some flat aluminum stock to act as "z" bracing. Not sure if it needed it, just seemed a little flimsy. The "z" bracing really beefed it up. Assembled it first to the backboard and then mounted it to a couple of 4x4 posts buried in the ground at the correct height. A trellis is connected to the two post under the backboard. For under twenty bucks, not bad.
This was supposed to be able to be used universally but when we went to install it we found that it didn't fit our basketball goal after all and didn't include what we we needed to do it. So, we had to improvise to get it to work. Plus, the instructions included had us put a crucial piece of the backboard together upside down. So we had to take it all apart and start over again. VERY frustrating. Now that we have it together, it's fine, but I don't think I'd advise anyone else to get it.
This bracket fit the backboard perfectly, but was not adjustable to move the backboard up or down. My pole was already in place and this bracket held to backboard down too low.
This product is not what it says it is. Reportedly, it fits all Hufy backboards. Not true. The holes on the bracket to not configure to Huffy backboards. If you want to mount this on your garage, do not follow the directions as you will find they include peices that are not included in this kit. This kit is worthless. I had to purchase my own "self-created" bracket the hardware store.
the universal bracket were useless/i had to buy my own bracket to put the backetball goal. spent lot more money.
