Worked great for my basketball goal that was leaking.

Works good just as advertised but did not make the court like "heavy" at all...still needed to add bricks on the back of the court to really weigh it down. Maybe better than water just a little bit but still not the best. Something like sand might be the best but i know it'll cost more probably. Overall it works but still not enough.

This was the perfect base for my basketball hoop. I followed the instructions and it was easy to use. It created stability and weight to hold down the hoop. The hoop has a larger size backboard so stability was important. This has worked great since April 2025.

I'm so happy we found this product when we were buying our basketball hoop. We used sand to fill our last one and it was so annoying having to buy the sand, haul it home, and then slowly add it to the base. This gel was very easy to use. All we did was pour it in the base, add the required amount of water and it did the job perfectly. The base is nice and heavy and has stood up to some windy days. I'm eapecially excited about the fact that it won't freeze and crack the base since we live in Wisconsin and we have cold winters! This was worth every penny and I'd highly recommend it. My only word of caution is to not let your over-eager child open the box for you. My 7 year old jammed a pair of scissors into the box in order to open it and he punctured the bag inside. I was able to get it all cleaned up and didn't lose much of the actual product, but I was forced to use a funnel to dump it in for part of the time instead of just being able to use the convenient spout that was built into the bag.

Does work but still needs two bags of sand to stop it being blown over

This is base gel works very well. Exactly what I was looking for for the kids basketball hoop base and badminton net base, as I did not want to use sand or simply water. Follow the instructions and add water, careful not to over do so it over expands, keeps the bases portable yet heavy enough to serve its purposes. Great product!

I had a leak in the base of my basketball hoop leaking water. This product works great even though somewhat expensive.

Does what it says and works perfect for filling basketball base vs using sand

The product does what it claims and made my son's basketball net HEAVY without the extra hassle. However, NOTE it never fully hardens and if you lie it down the mixture will all settle down wards, you wouldn't think it would be a problem but it doesn't move back quickly making the net tip so you will need to find somewhere for the net to rest while it slowly settles back to flat (for us it took a good 36hrs) and you are able to use the net again. Overall we are please but wish we knew a few things about the products weaknesses.
