Can I take my Mega Slam™ Hoop with me when I move?
How are Mega Slam™ Hoops anchored to the ground?
All of our residential basketball systems utilize a J-bolt anchoring system with self leveling nuts. This method is the most effective for several reasons. It allows for infinite adjustments to be made to the anchor to insure a laser level system. Secondly, it makes it really simply to relocate your basketball system from one location to another in the event you move to a new residence.
How long will it take to install my new Mega Slam™ Hoop?
Installing your new Mega Slam™ Hoop consists of (3) Phases. Phase (1) is the planning and preparation. This can be done before your system arrives. Phase (2) is installing the anchor system which takes one day. The longest part of the process is waiting for the concrete to cure after installing the anchor system. We recommend waiting at least 72 hours to allow for maximum strength. Phase (3) is actually installing the basketball system on top of the anchor and can usually be done within 1 hour.
What size hole do I need to dig for the Mega Slam™ anchor system?
*Remember to always call 811 before you dig for safety.
Mega Slam 554 / Mega Slam 660: For maximum stability, we recommend digging an 18” x 18” square hole that is 48” deep and belled out at the bottom. This will require 15 to 17 – 80 lbs. bags of concrete.
Mega Slam 672 / Mega Slam XL: For maximum stability, we recommend digging a 20” x 20” square hole that is 48” deep and belled out at the bottom. This will require 20 to 22 – 80 lbs. bags of concrete.

How do I maintain my Mega Slam™ basketball hoop?
Maintaining your new Mega Slam™ basketball system is quite simple. Just remember these simple steps:
(1) Keep all organic materials (grass clippings, garbage, etc.) away from the steel pole or base plate to prevent any chance of rust penetrating the powder coated finish.
(2) Clean the backboard periodically with water and a soft cotton cloth. Approved glass cleaners work as well to maintain the clear view glass backboard.
