Thanks, Because of the slope we had no choice in order to keep the dirt from washing out onto the court and made sense to do it as a bench for when kids get older and start having friends over.

Goal is ordered, went with the 60" backboard.

Has gravel under pad, fiber in pad to help with not cracking but always a chance concrete will crack.

For a goal I'm planning to go with mega slam, either their 54" or 60". Haven't decided yet which size leaning towards the 60" with over hoop led light and collegiate rim.

On the list of things to do this summer once its warmer. Something like this but with a different logo,

Right now trying to decide if a 60" backboard is worth the...

We live in a very small/rural town, not even 400 people in the whole town. We don't have a single store let alone any kind of sports fields or courts so really only option we had to not have to drive...
