In-Ground Basketball Hoops
In-ground systems are
permanently cemented
into the ground, so be
sure to choose an ideal
location. Inground basketball hoops tend to be more
rigid and take up less
space than portables.
Plan on spending
approximately $15 on
concrete and waiting 72
hours for the concrete
to dry. |
Portable basketball hoops
A Lifetime portable basketball system depends on a base
filled with sand or
water for stability. A
portable basketball
backboard system will take up more space
than an in-ground. The
portable base rolls on
wheels, allowing players
to position the
basketball system in the
desired location. Simply
assemble, fill the base
and play on your portable basketball hoop today.
No need for concrete. |
Backboard Rim Combo
A Combo is comprised of
a backboard and a rim.
It can be attached
directly to a roof,
eave, or wall, using an
extension bracket. |
Lifetime has four families of basketball backboards that range
in size from 42-54 inches. The most common sizes are 44 and
48 inches. All Lifetime backboards are screen-printed with
UV-protected inks offering fade-resistant color.
