I am planning on using this with a portable basketball hoop as the pole. Lots of different comments about whether or not that will work. Does it?

I don'y know that a portable baseball hoop will work depending on how old your child is. If they are young and won't be hitting it hard it might. An older shild will hit it too hard for that. We had to sink a fence pole into the ground to keep it from moving all around. My son really benefited from it though! Good luck!

Yes absolutely, my son spends hours with his and we attach it to our portable BB hoop. It also makes a difference in his batting, he has had it since he was 11 he is 13 now, still uses it.

Lonnie, Unfortunately, this Hoop Light will not mount to a round pole. Thank you for considering Goalrilla!

Funny! I tried it a for awhile, it did not work. Went back to it, it did not work. Finally I figured it out. Have you figured it out yet? A couple of things: 1) the pole pulls out to be longer. It should be as tall as you are. 2) it seems like it does not fit in hole. But, you have to push hard. 3) Look at picture on box. The parts will actually end up looking like the picture. (Smile)

Tammy,Yes it will work, however it works even better when anchored. Best Regards,David H

I would imagine so, it worked great on my gazebo canopy in the South Carolina sun that turned my basketball white in one summer. Hope this helps, good luck.........

No it will not. Not suitable for pole. You can attach it but does not stay. Try spending a little more for real glass. Expensive but worth it. 2 yes going strong. And i dunk!!!

It should. Try turning the pole upside down and driving them together on a piece of wood or something that will protect it. That worked for me.

No, it wouldn't work. I did see some others on Amazon that were designed for pole mounting though.

Hi Amy. It velcro straps on very easily and will fit on any basketball pole and comes with an extra extension strap to fit some poles with pads. But, if you have one of those big square in ground poles that are 6" on each side and have a pad wrapped around it...just let me,GameDay, know and we will send out our larger strap to you for free. Thanks. Scott

It is made for a square pole and my guess is your portable goal has a round pole. Further, it would make your goal very top heavy especially in the wind so I would not recommend it due to it being unsafe.

Yes. The platform with the hoop is the weakest and might sag a tad but the unit won't topple. I just went and leaned on it pretty good and it seemed fine.

Yes. Make sure the pole is perfectly perpendicular and tightened as much as possible. My dad is 145 pounds and it has worked for him.

I believe it would work fine. It is just a powder coated metal basket really. Let me know if you need the dimensions. I will be happy to measure it and supply the measurements. Jay

I haven't tried it, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. If you have very large ones, it might be a problem.

This pole is not intended for that purpose. This pole would bend too easily to depend on it as or with a safety hook. There are devices from the same supplier that are intended and designed as safety/shepherds hooks.

I used a sleeve so that my pole/hoop would be portable should I move and want to take it with me. It's the best way to go especially for some reason you had to replace the pole.

I would say not. You might be able to find some bracket that would work, but it really isn't designed for it.
