Description

The Lifetime In-Ground Basketball Hoop with 50-inch Shatterproof Backboard will let you and your friends play like a pro and share huge amounts of fun! Featuring its 50-inch Makrolon polycarbonate backboard, this basketball goal is virtually unbreakable so you can enjoy a long-lasting game. Also, you can dunk the basketball into the heavy-duty slam-it rim designed with a double-compression spring for superior spring-back action and enhanced play. This in-ground basketball system is designed with a powder- coated, weather-resistant steel construction to prevent rusting, peeling and yellowing for ultimate resilience. In addition, the convenient action grip height adjustment mechanism allows you to adjust your basketball goal from 7.5 to 10 feet in infinite increments with just one hand! Lifetime recommends using a ground sleeve with this system so you can get the rigidity of an in- ground system with the option of later removal. So what are you waiting for? Bring home this rugged in-ground backboard and hoop system for year-round outdoor fun! Order it from Dazadi today and get FREE SHIPPING! Hone your jumpshot in your spare moments or perform a backyard dunking drill with the Lifetime 71799 in-ground basketball goal. Designed for permanent installations in cemented driveways, the 71799 includes such features as a Shatter Guard backboard, a spring-back Slam-It Rim, and an Action Grip pole mechanism for speedy height changes. The goal's sturdiness stems from the cement-ready base, which is more rigid and takes up less space than portable basketball goals (it does require roughly 72 hours of cement drying time, however). The clear 50-inch Shatter Guard backboard, meanwhile, is made of Makrolon polycarbonate, which is virtually unbreakable and 30 times stronger than acrylic. As a result, broken backboards are a thing of the past, even from errant rocks and other non-basketball threats. In addition, the board offers a UV coating that prevents yellowing over time, a high-impact polyethylene frame, and screen-printed inks for fade-resistant color. Lifetime knows that dunking and above-the-rim play are a huge part of modern basketball, which is why the 71799 also comes with both a height adjustment mechanism and a spring-back rim. The three-piece, 3.5-inch Action Grip pole includes counter-balance springs that make it easy to raise or lower the rim from 7-1/2 to 10 feet in 6-inch increments without requiring a broomstick, crank, or other tool. Thanks to the Action Grip technology, players of all ages and skill levels can enjoy the game on their own terms, while aspiring dunkers can gradually raise the level 6 inches at a time as their vertical improves. The orange Slam-It Rim, meanwhile, is designed specifically for players who like to throw down. The orange solid-steel rim features double- compression springs that give way during dunks to protect the player, then spring back once released. The rim is also supported by 1/2-inch braces, with welded-steel net hooks and an all-weather nylon net. The 71799, which is protected by a powder-coated, weather-resistant finish, comes with a five-year warranty. Basketball System Buying Guide With the high-quality construction of many portable basketball systems, turning your driveway into a basketball court can be as simple as hooking up your garden hose. But while a portable system may ultimately be your best choice, there are reasons you may want to consider an in-ground or wall-mount system before you decide.In-Ground Systems In-ground systems are permanently cemented into the ground--either via a bolt mounting kit or directly into the ground--and are generally more rigid and take up less space than portables. In-ground systems often require that you hire a professional to complete the task, but when the cement dries you'll have a hoop that can take punishing dunks with ease. Many in-ground systems are height-adjustable, include removable post features that let you take the system down for off-season storage, and feature heavy-duty break-away rims. You'll also want to research the adjustable mechanisms on the systems, as there are several types to choose from. Some feature a counter-balance spring that lets you perform easy, one-hand adjustments while others may feature a sturdy, pneumatic system.Wall-Mount Systems Wall-mount systems can be mounted to the side of a house, a tall retaining wall, or a garage. Generally sturdier than portables, wall-mounts have the added advantage of optimizing your existing ground space for the court, since you won't take any space up with the base or pole. Not all systems include the necessary hardware, so make certain you add a mounting kit to your list.Portable Systems Portable systems require minimal installation and offer ultimate convenience. These systems generally feature a base that can be filled with sand or water to stabilize them and include wheels for portability. Although they are not as sturdy as in-ground or wall-mounted hoops, portables are simple to set up and can often be folded for convenient storage.Backboard Considerations Regardless of which system you choose, you'll want to brush up on Backboards 101. Most residential systems feature backboards made of acrylic, fiberglass, graphite, or various other composite materials. While clear acrylic gives the professional look and feel of glass, it is not as rigid as fiberglass or graphite. Some systems may offer steel or aluminum backboards, which are virtually vandal resistant, but don't offer the true rebounding action. The regulation size of an NBA backboard is 72 inches wide and 42 inches high. Most portable hoops are 42 or 44 inches wide and 36 inches tall. In-ground systems tend to be a bit larger, with 54-inch and 60-inch widths being the most popular. While rectangular shaped backboards provide more bank shot opportunities, they are generally more expensive than the streamlined fan-shaped board.

  • Great Hoop!
Great hoop! I ended up digging the hole 36" deep and 18" wide to get below the frost line and it took ten 80lb bags of concrete to fill the hole. Luckily i dont love far from a home improvement store! The directions call for five bags but I don't see how five bags could ever be enough concrete even if you only dig a 24" deep hole as recommended. Other than that I followed the directions and everything went together smoothly. Read everything carefully and locate the hardware and tools needed before you begin each step. I assembled the hoop by myself, using saw horses to elevate the backboard during assembly instead of laying it on cardboard as recomended. The only part I needed a second adult for was mounting the hoop assembly to the pole cemented into the ground, it's very top heavy and awkward. I was surprised how sturdy this hoop is. Everything seems well built and decent quality....time will tell I guess. The adjustment is really nice, adjusts easily with one hand and locks into position securely. I was pondering getting a larger size backboard but this one is easily big enough. I wouldn't justify the extra money to get a couple inches larger backboard. The backboard is thin but seems sturdy. I definitely don't think dunking on the hoop would hurt it but I wouldn't want anybody hanging on the rim. Overall, I would buy this hoop again and I anticipate it lasting a good long time! ... show more

  • Super Sturdy
I don't usually write reviews but I felt it necessary this time. I bought this for my young grandkids and frankly can't believe its quality vs. the relatively cheap cost. The instructions were easy to follow and it works amazingly well. Great product at a great price!!!

  • great value for the money
Received the box in perfect condition. I started putting the backboard and rim together but needed my husband's help when I attached the supports and poles. Directions were easy to follow and parts were easy to identify. It was relatively simple to assemble. After several bags of concrete and a few days setting time, it's a great basketball goal. Adjusting the height is very simple and easy. We lower it for our 6 yr old and raise it back up when my husband and I play. It's very sturdy and looks great. No problems what-so-ever and we've already reccommended it to a friend. ... show more

  • Good for the Price, Assembly Instructions are Not the Best.
System is sturdy once all is said and done and the price on Amazon was great with free shipping. The box arrived via UPS with the lid torn in two. Even the UPS driver was surprised at the poor condition of the container and said to make sure all the parts were present. Surprisingly, only 1 part was missing. I suspect this system is engineered in the USA and produced for Lifetime in China. The reason being is the assembly manual is written as such. It will show the parts needed but mislabeled with the wrong part code, or NOT show all the parts needed and you find that out several steps later, resulting in disassembly and reassembly. The number of parts is similar to those found in a gas barbecue, for those of you who have tackled that chore. So be prepared to spend some time on this. We dug the hole and poured the concrete with the lower pole section inserted. You have to wait 3 days for the concrete to cure to attach the rest of the pole/hoop, so use that time to get the remainder of the unit assembled. I looked at the Lifetime website and printed off the latest manual, which is written as it should be. I suspect we received an older unit and thus the old manual, which was written as only China could do...My youngest son is very happy with his new basketball hoop and again, the price was right... ... show more

  • Perfect for family basketball
2015 Update: Still as good as new. Love this thing! Original Review: We bought this last Spring and it has really held up over the last year. We live in an area that is extremely windy during the winter months and the board looks the same as it did a year ago. The handle is easy for my 9 year old to adjust the height and the range is big enough the we can drop it down for my 6 year old to play. Excellent value for the money. Looks very nice and does not look cheap like some others I've seen. I think we will get many more years of use out of this hoop. Install tip--buy a multidirectional post level if you don't already have one. We had no problems ensuring that the post was installed straight using that level. Oh yeah--we also bought the ground sleeve so we have the option to take it out in case we ever have some sort of event in our backyard or if we ever need to remove it for some other reason. I'm happy I bought the sleeve so we have the option although we've never needed to remove it so far. Enjoy! ... show more

  • Quality Basketball Hoop for Driveway
This arrived in millions of pieces, box was almost destroyed, and had TON of extra pieces (better than not enough right?)... BUT I love this for my son. Make sure you have help doing this or pay a professional (you'll need someone to assemble, multiple people to lift and put into ground, someone to cement it, it's heavy). We love this and it's THE best investment we have made for the teen boy in our lives. We went from tiny foam basketballs on the plastic tacked to the wall style hoop, to the metal back steel hoop with mini ball that gets hung over the closet door, to this. I love that my son has always been able to adjust the height of this all on his own. I love that he can change the height when he wants for me (mom who couldn't do so well last year) to his friends who might not play often and need the height change. I love arriving home every night after work and seeing him in the driveway playing...then mom jumps in and we have some great quality time together. He's gone tough on it, and it's been a quality product. A pain to put together, but worth it in the end. Glad we made this purchase for his birthday 2 years ago when he turned 12. That weekend we put it in, we had a dozen boys over for a birthday party and they played all night. :) ... show more

  • Great Product!
It was a little tricky to put together you do need at least two if not three people. But the end result is fantastic, we love it. It’s just as good as those high priced basketball sets. We absolutely love it.
