Pros:Stable, High-Quality Materials / Construction, Solid Backboard Response, Aesthetically Pleasing
Cons:it takes two strong guys
Best Uses:Residential Use
Bottom LineI would not recommend this product to a friend

this is a very good basketball system with high quality parts and very pro looking. The backboard does have a good rebound for not being glass. It does take two strong guys to put this unit up on your garage, the backboard is very heavy with that metal frame and extra thick backboard. The free basketball you get with the unit is not very good, it has no bounce to it, go out and buy a good indoor/outdoor spalding basketball and you will be all set. I hope to get many years out of this system and have it still look as good as it does now.

I like the product, we really wanted a glass backboard but it just wasn’t practical for a roof mount, but I must admit this backboard is good. In my opinion it is as close as you’re going to get to glass and the difference is minimal, I have owned 2 other glass systems so I know what they’re like.

Great Roof-Top Hoop/ 3-person Install

Great quality. Great looking goal once installed. You need two ladders and two strong guys to hold it up to the bracket while a 3rd person places the fasteners. Pretty strenuous. Don't try this alone OR with only 2 men.

A good product but not quite perfect...

Pros:High-Quality Materials / Construction

Bottom LineI would not recommend this product to a friend

After putting the backboard up there is some vibration when the ball hits the backboard fairly hard with a shot. I don't know if this is in the brackets which adjust the vertical alignment of the backboard or something else. I do know the front two roof screws on my set up had no where to firmly screw into (they essentially were on the roof area over the gutter.

You get what you pay for, and this system is all quality
By Anthony T from Red Bank, NJ on 2012-03-07 00:00:00
This is a verified buyer of this product
Pros:Easy To Setup, High-Quality Materials / Construction, Solid Backboard Response, Aesthetically Pleasing
Best Uses:Residential Use, Practice
Bottom LineI would not recommend this product to a friend

Excellent product, solid, durable materials,still looks great after 6 months of active use. Before I purchased this system, I read some concerns about the setup being difficult. It does take at least two strong men, but anything done on a roof with something very heavy will. The only minor downside is the last 6 inches of my roof has minimal support from below. When I put in those last two bolts they do not offer much support or rigidity. If it seems that the backboard becomes less stable, I will go into the roof and put in supports under the lowest end of the rack to properly bolt into. Very pleased overall with all aspects and would highly recommend this system.

I bought this to replace a portable unit that was blown over by the wind. It's a great hoop system. I love the regulation sized backboard and it's very stable though the backboard has a slightly softer response than I had hoped. My only issue was managing the size and weight during installation. It took two strong guys on ladders to get it into position, while I had somebody else on the roof tightening bolts to hold it.

I was concerned that gutter would get in the way and was pleasantly surprised--a well-designed system. However, backboard stability side to side needs attention.

We've used this hoop everyday since I put it up. I was leary of the stability of the frame but it's been amazingly stable. Great looking, solid support. The backboard response is not as good as a glass board would be but I never use the board anyway - nothing but net!! I'd recommend it if you can afford it.

Why Didn't I Do This Earlier?!?!

Bottom LineI would not recommend this product to a friend

I use the product, however it was purchased for my eight year old for his birthday. He has not tired of it and it has succeeded in getting him outdoors for physical activity. Given the configuration of our driveway and garage, we did not have room for a regular pole mount and I was concerned that the roof mount may not be as stable or the backboard may not be as responsive. I have been pleased with both and am very pleased with the purchasing decision.

Pros:High-Quality Materials / Construction, Solid Backboard Response, Aesthetically Pleasing, Install by PDH was cheap
Best Uses:Pickup Games, Residential Use, Practice
Bottom LineI would not recommend this product to a friend

Used for practice by my Jr High aged kids and family play in the driveway. Looks good and is solid. Definitely better than the cheapo plastic options out there. Backboard has a little bit of wiggle when you use the edges of the glass. Not a problem, but not quite the "excellent action" off the glass I hoped for. If a quality rec/high school hoop is a "10" on little or no wiggle, I'd give this a "7.5", but you can see it move when the ball hits. Hoops Houston did the installation. At first they mounted it so the front of the glass was behind the front edge of the room (ie, reducing the space between the hoop & garage door). They corrected it, a bit reluctantly, at my insistence but it's all good in the end.

Great prodcut. It is built to last. I am a white collar guy so I did not attempt to put up the hoop myself. I got some quotes from the preferred vendors for setting up the hoop and I thought they were on the high side. As a result, I ended up having our handyman put it up at a much lower price. He had to get help from another individual to put up the hoop.

Though we love that the backboard is sturdy and heavy it did make instillation a challenge. It feels like the frame is flimsy compared to the weight of the hoop & backboard. But, maybe the engineer's worked on all that - cause now that it's installed it feels solid.

Pros:High-Quality Materials / Construction, Solid Backboard Response, Stable, Aesthetically Pleasing
Bottom LineI would not recommend this product to a friend

I have been longing for a basketball hoop for several years, but the only place with enough space to play is near my garage roof. After much research, the roof-mount hoop by pro dunk hoops seemed most appropriate (note, there are a few fine-print restrictions on required garage height). I didn't attempt to install, so I can't comment on ease of installation, except that I knew I wouldn't be able to install it on my own due to its weight. The hoop is great...soft rim but not too soft, and large grippy backboard that adds proper english to bank shots. Hoop is similar quality to high-school and college hoops that I've played on. I highly recommend the large "platinum" backboard size. Only regret is that I waited so long to get a hoop.

The product is well made and very heavy duty. We ended up screwing the set screws thru the roof shakes and into a 2 x 4 on the under side of the roof to add some strength as the plywood roof material was not very sturdy. The backboard and hoop look very professional and the basketball response is very good, even off the sides. This setup is beyond anything you can get at a local sporting goods store. We are very happy. My brother in law helped me in stall it and it took about 2 hours start to finish and that included taking the old one down. We used a tie down to hold the backboard in place while we secured the nuts and bolts.

We have a detached garage so appearance was important and the backboard looks great. However, the clincher for us was the adjustability. Our roof is lower, but we were able to provide a hoop that was 10 feet from the ground. Also, seems like it is going to be withstand some powerful players using the hoop (hope I'll be able to say the same about my garage door).
