does anyone know if they just sell the extension arm? The pole in the ground is fine but I need to replace the existing arm holding the backboard. It

I too only needed the extension arm. We had an existing pole in concrete. They do not just sell the arm extension. It's a whole kit. Amazon had it cheaper than Dicks.

Sherri did you end up ordering this backboard and if so did it work? I am looking for the same replacement part for the same system you have.

I would call the S.R. Smith customer service number which you can get via google and speak to someone about the differences. Also, you need to make sure that your existing base has the correct holes which need to be measured. We bought a replacement and went with the less expensive option because it has MUCH more flex and are very happy with it. We do run a risk of it cracking more easily, but no problems yet, and a really stiff board just isn't fun so we are happy we switched.

Oooh, it appears they made a mistake. There should be a part (coupler, I think they call it) that is fixed around the pole in order for the "cone" not to slide down the pole: tehn you fold closed the cone over the coupler--on which it rests and holds. If the coupler (with its screws) was not in the package, you should complain and have the whole thing replaced or have them ship to you the missing part. Good luck!

Just an update in case anyone else is looking for a replacement rod. Was considering purchasing this and noticed that American Family Woodworking now offers replacement "Paper Towel Holder Rod (Spring Loaded)" on their web store (www.americanfamilywoodworking.com). Not sure why the replacement rod is not listed on Amazon's main site.

Good afternoon, I would submit that it is cheaper and my economical to just order the replacement Backboard and Rim. I shopped around and after looking at prices and wear and tear it was the right decision. I don't believe there is an alternative in replacing U-Bolts.

I purchased the in-ground sleeve. That gets cemented into the ground. I made sure that was plum and level when I set it in the concrete. The pole then gets inserted into it. I chose the sleeve because now if I ever moved I could take the system with me ( minus the sleeve cemented in the ground ).

Is it sitting on a slope? Even a 1/2" drop per foot slope ends up being 2" skew when the goal is perpendicular to the slope. Mine appeared the same way before I recognized my driveway was sloped that much. This may not help. I sent my first one back after the backbroard cracked while assembling. The second one (at present) has been great for three years now. As far as the arms are concerned, maybe one side (two arms) on the outside and the other side (other two arms) on the inside attaching the backboard? I don't what else to suggest. Good luck.

We have a wonderful carpenter and he attached the backboard - it is a great job - I would suggest you talk to someone who knows how to do it and get them - my grandson is delighted with the arrangement -

Hi Alan, you don't need your old poles - mine came with new poles that I just fastened to the old base frame. This has lasted really well so far, lots of heavy use and no damage. Cheers, Mark

I'm glad to know it's not just me. I ordered a new pole with string and.. I guess the problem is the string. I've been using the same one now for a month. I guess I just didn't expect the string to wear down that quickly and still kind of don't understand what causes it to bunch up once it gets worn down. Little bit of a mystery to this mind. Thanks for responding.

Without seeing your particular one I don't know but we replaced ours and it wasn't a problem. It gives you all of the pieces that go on the top (the arms and poles to adjust it). So we basically Took our old back board off and the frame at the top and had a tall pole with holes open at the top and that was it. All the rest came in the box.

yeah you can buy any sport type. but there is no way to attach it. You will have to stick the pole into the ground.

if the pole itself isn't damaged you could try stripping the rope off and apply new rope over it!I see it's stapled at the top and bottom but I've no clue if it's also glues onOR you could go out and buy some round fence poling cut it to size cover it with rope and drill in the holes for the screws to go into it!.......ya I've altered it some and will some more.

I was able to order another pole from ereplacement parts (622892-00). I had to cut off a little piece and it worked. It is still controllable within reason and works well.

We had the same problem. We just got a wooden board the same size as the seat and screwed it on. It worked find. I don't know where to buy a new on.
