[quote=Anonymous]I installed an inground hoop (DIY) last year (think it's a Megaslam 72") and it took almost 20 bags of 80lb concrete bags. For a DIYer to take it easy, I'd say 1 day to dig the hole. 1 day to get concrete and prep, 1 day to pour concrete, and 1 day to assemble it (with a couple friends) after the concrete has cured. I mixed one bag at a time in a wheelbarrow by myself and dumped it in the hole. My recommendation would be to do it with 2 people so it goes faster. It's not a "hard" job per say but a fair bit of work. Contractor pricing around here is steep (just the market these days) and I wanted it done right so I DIYd it. I hang on the rim and it hasn't budged yet, so no complaints. If you're installing a chintzy bball hoop then you can probably pour a much smaller footer and it's a much easier job.[/quote]
