What do I do about installation?

Your store will have a professional installation program. Ask them for details. Should you install the Goalrilla yourself, consult the instructions provided. Review the list on our installation page for common questions about installation.

WHY ARE THERE NUTS BETWEEN THE ANCHOR PLATE AND THE POLE ON MY GOALRILLA SYSTEM? THIS LEAVES A SPACE BETWEEN THE ANCHOR PLATE AND THE POLE. IS THIS CORRECT?

Yes. The nuts beneath the pole let you level the system once it is installed. If the concrete is not perfectly level, you can level the pole by adjusting these for nuts. Simply place a level on the sides of the pole to check it for levelness. You can loosen the top nuts slightly and adjust the bottom nuts to move the system up or down on the corner which needs leveling. When the system is level, simply tighten all nuts against the pole system.

WHAT IS THE OVERHANG ON A GOALRILLA BASKETBALL SYSTEM?

HOW DO I MAINTAIN MY GOALRILLA?

There are only three things to keep in mind with regard to maintenance: The backboard: to clean the backboard, rinse the board with lukewarm water, wash gently with a 100% cotton soft cloth and a glass cleaner. Rinse again with lukewarm water and dry with a 100% cotton soft cloth. The pole base: Keep organic materials away from pole base. As with all metals, grass and grass clippings, organic garbage and litter can cause corrosion if the metal finish is penetrated. Rust: If rust should appear on the pole, remove loose paint, sand lightly, prime, and paint with exterior enamel paint. If rust has penetrated through the steel anywhere, replace the pole immediately.

CAN I MOVE MY HOOP TO MY NEW HOME?

Yes. The rugged concrete and rebar Goalrilla Anchor System has a leveling feature that bolts the Goalrilla to the ground. As a result, a Goalrilla pole, backboard and goal can be completely removed and taken with you when you move, if you wish. A trained Goalrilla installer should be involved in the removal of your system. Click here to find a store near you.
