P.S. Since that potential client called me, my brother and I tested the basketball goals at our houses. He wriggled his, and it seemed OK, but a few months later it fell over when his kids were playing with it. Nobody got hurt, but they could have. I wriggled mine and it kinked near the bottom, so I decided to snap it completely off and get rid of it. I broke that 4" diameter steel pole like a popsicle stick. No real effort required. (But digging up the 200 pounds of cement anchoring it 3 feet deep was quite a chore).
Both of our goal poles were badly rusted at the bottom. Mine had moss and roots and vines and other plant material UP inside it, growing to a height of 2 feet above ground level. His was just rusted, but not so much vegitative matter.
