Like others, I spent a few months researching a hoop to purchase. We decided we wanted an In Ground system so we did not have to worry about it falling over like the portable units. We live in Upstate NY where there are brutal winters, snow, sleet, hail, rain, wind, etc... If you do the installation yourself be prepared to for some hard work on digging the hole. We had clay and rocks which made it more difficult to dig through. I started the hole at 8:30am and finished around noon. After that I started on the concrete work. I rented a cement mixer that held 5 bags of 60 lb quickcrete mix. So that made it very easy to mix. It took me 2 hours to fill the hole. I waited 3 days and then began the installation of the actual goal. I have never would imagined the install part would be so easy. There are not many pieces to put together. They make it very easy as long as you follow the directions. When the system was up the first thing I noticed was the powder coating. The water beads up on it after it rains or gets wet. This thing should last years. Overall this system is top notch and is very high quality. If there is anything wrong with a part that has been damaged in shipment, take a pic and they will send you another one right away. I cannot remember a company having that quick response time. Rating of 10/10.
