anchoring a product, regardless if is a hoop or any kind of post or pole, when cement is used you can go a little less deep if needed due to pipes or roots. but of course going deeper is required when relying only on compacting dirt
I do agree that some hoops require certain depth. This installation was done based on what we had to work with as to the layout. as well as the requirement of the product used. It was installed as suggested by manufactured.
Hi. Great question. Sorry for the late reply. I'm working on setting time to manage comments after uploads. Actually my trick to hold the pole in place by the cement dried was to dig a foot deeper so that is used to hold the pole. I would then fill with cement, the other 2 feet plus the portion that reaches the wood; at the end we remove the woodframe and you will see it dried from the ground up; instead of just the section we used for the framing. Doing this method allows the pole to stay in place because is tight by the dirt; and then I add my cement.
hi. great question. not really. the rock like cement is designed to provide airflow. allowing buildup water to evoporate overtime and not keep the ground wet.
what I did was create the hole in the ground first and then anchored the bottom side of the post which the baseketball hoop came with 2 pieces. anchor piece and the hoop piece. so once the anchor post cured within 24 hours with the cement hole. then I assembled the rest of the hoop
hehe. thanks for noticing. Im trying. sorry for responding late. still reviewing and responding to hundreds of comments. please forgive me as I'm trying to learn and grow the channel and a business lol.
we are doing the same thing tomorrow but we don't have a square goal like that. ours is skinny and round. do we just do the same thing make a frame then put the concrete and take the frame off. and to hold the pole straight what would you use

Hi. Great question. Sorry for the late reply. I'm working on setting time to manage comments after uploads. I find it to be later in time, the pole will weaken and begin to come off the ground; using the method I used will create a more permanent outcome.
When installing a basketball hoop, ask the customer what is the practical use, if no dunking is required a basic anchor is good as in this example. However if they plan to play as a pro and dunk please anchor 3 times deeper and wider on cement.
Instuctions to same goal you installed says 32 inches deep, setting the pole on a masonry block.

That footing should be 36" to 48" deep and 2 feet square.

Looks really good.

Aren't you supposed to level the beam? How did you keep it still for 24 hours while cement dries?

Over time, will the pole rust out and eventually break?

Quick question does the wood foundation come off pretty easily from the concrete?
yes. in fact dried concrete do not stick to wood. more so if it was wed. simply pull it.
Did you have to anchor it overnight while it dried?

how many bags of cement did you use?
hi. on a spot like this I dropped about 2 bags. i wanted to fill at least 1-2 feet with cement. then the top level with the already present rocks.
Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!

Is there any disadvantage to just burying the pole in the ground like this as opposed to using the J-bolts method?

How much $?
something like this can run you around $320-$480 depending on the project.

The video title is installing a basketball hoop in ground. You installed a post in the ground.
you have a good point. I have updated the video title to make it more clear. thanks four for your feedback.
