EASY to screw up the assembly if you don't follw the procedures in the correct order. If you're one of those " I don't need no instructions" kind of guy, your'e going to be disappointed with the result. Takes a LOT of concrete to secure the ground models in place AND you SHOULD call your city utility companies before you dig a 24" deep hole.

We have had our hoop set up for about 8 months. It gets a fair amount of use by three families on our block, and it has been outside in snow / rain / wind. Set up was challenging, and definitely required two people with power tools who have assembled things before. Getting it into position before the base was filled was tricky. However, since it's been set up, the kids have been having a great time, and the unit seems to be standing up to the weather well. A shout-out here to the customer service department at Lifetime: We lost a couple of the caps when we moved the unit, and they readily sent us replacements. It was a great experience!

I bought this basketball hoop for the kids, and they love it! The hoop is sturdy enough to withstand intense games and can be easily adjusted in height, making it perfect for all ages. Installation was smooth, and now we enjoy games outdoors every evening. 🔹 Pros: ✔ Height adjustment—perfect for growing kids. ✔ Durable material—the hoop handles strong shots without losing its shape. ✔ Easy installation and long-lasting. 🔹 Cons: ❌ Requires enough space in the yard for installation. ❌ Slight noise when the ball hits the backboard, but it’s not a big issue. Great quality for the price, and now the whole family spends more time outdoors. Highly recommend for basketball fans! 🏀

ASSEMBLY/INSTALLATION TIPS: 1) Pay very close attention when assembling the post. what you do here is not easily reversable so you must get it right the first time. there are slots in the bottom section of post (that gets cemented in the ground. These slots will be parallel to the back board. THERE IS NO ADJUSTMENT after installation! you Must get these slots lined up with you court layout before your concrete sets up. This is the main reason I dinged this item a star. This was stated in the instructions, but it wasn't called out clearly and almost cost me dearly. Also, make sure you line up the screw holes with the slot on the other two posts. I don't think you will be able to turn the posts once they are "tapped" together. 2) I know this is a pain, but go through all the parts and figure out which letter code belongs to each screw, nut and washer. You may even need a tape measure here. There are plastic and metal parts that are similar in size, but go in different places, so you will want to know which is which. I would even put them in labelled piles/bags. If you don't do this. you will spend a lot of time staring at pictures and fumbling through the instructions trying to figure out what you need. 3) Plastic bushing are used between parts that move or rub, metal parts are used as spacers. As I said before, there are both metal and plastic parts that look similar are included. In general, the plastic pieces go between two major parts that may rub against each other as the mechanism moves. REVIEW: I purchased this hoop for Christmas, but just recently got it installed during a break from this winter. I don't know how many people are buying permanent-install basketball hoops any more, all I seem to see are the "portable" ones. I went the permanent route because I live in a windy area and I am lazy. I know I would leave a portable one out to be blown over and broken. Overall, I am very pleased with this product. The backboard sounds a little hollow, but that isn't surprising to me for a product in this range. It is sturdy and bounces true, and that is what really matters. 10 ft sure seems a lot higher to me with a clear backboard outdoors, but that could just be me getting old. One thing to note is that there are no "stops" in the adjustment mechanism that I can feel. This is both a good thing and a bad thing. It is good, because if you are a little on your installation of the post, you can still get the hoop to the right spot (i do mean a little, you can't go much over 10 feet). On the other hand, you will probably need to spend a little time with a tape measure and magic market making your own registration marks if you plan to adjust this very often. First things first, the packaging for this is big and heavy. If you aren't going to install it right away be prepared to look at it, work around it, and deal with it in general, because you WILL notice it sitting around. I did not have any of the problems I have seen on here with missing parts or damaged pieces. Everything was intact and pretty well packaged. I did have a few things floating around in the box where they shouldn't have been, so I would recommend taking inventory while you are still in the return period. I was able to assemble this by myself without too much frustration. I wouldn't recommend doing the final few steps of the install yourself unless you are tall and strong like me or like hernias, but it is possible for some people. The assembly is a complicated process with a lot of parts that are pretty similar. I am pretty mechanically-inclined, but there were a couple times where I had to disassemble stuff I had already put together and do it again. All told, I would estimate that I spent 3-4 hours putting this together and installing it. The assembly instructions are middle of the road. I have seen both better and worse instructions. TL/DR? If you are looking for a cheap, permanent basketball hoop this will fit the bill. Just be thorough and careful when installing it and you will have an enjoyable setup in about half a day.

The media could not be loaded. Solid product. Build was easy with a basic ratchet set & drill for self-tapping screws. Just needed a bit more elbow grease. Not sure why so many bad reviews about building. The instructions were good & there is always YouTube with videos made by Lifetime. Some videos show folks upset about screws only going so far when told to “hand-tighten”…unless your bolt is cross-threaded, a bit of elbow grease gets it done. In the videos of dissatisfied customers, it sounded like their power tools were slipping. Weighed base down with water/gel filler & 4 x 50 lb. sandbags for good measure. Easy to lower for my 13 year-old, but harder to raise for him since he’s a lightweight ☺️ Court will be smoothed out & laid down after the winter.

Well- I never write reviews, but have wasted so much time on this that I felt obligated to spare others. My wife and I have spent over 8 hours or so trying to put this thing together- and we had to stop about halfway through because the parts weren't machined correctly. The directions are confusing, but if you read closely and use the videos you can figure it out. The problem is the hardware itself isn't really machined well. The bolts don't line up easily, some of our screws that were supposed to just screw on easily wouldn't even go on with the use of a vice. Now we have done about 40% of it and we need to hire someone to complete it. Such a waste of time and money. We are pretty handy generally and have assembled all of our other kids products including a large play structure. We tried contacting customer support but they just regurgitate copy and pasted lines from a generic email and really are of no help at all. Stay far away from this product!

It came with all the pieces and seems well made. We concreted it in the ground ourselves which was a bit of a challenge to raise into the ground with only a tractor. 6 year old loved it for Christmas and a year later is still going strong. It's easy for even him to raise and lower himself which I love. We get high winds where it's located and it's holding well!
