Q: after this unit has been used and out in Iowa weather,(rain, snow, heat , cold) for 4-5 yrs. , does it still adjust up and down easily? will the adjusting handle fail and break off after being out in the weather.

Asked by: Butch Y - 8/16/2017

A: This system should hold up well in the weather, and it is also covered by a 5 year warranty through Lifetime. Polycarbonate is stronger than any glass or acrylic so in that sense it will last longer, but isn't necessarily better. Tempered glass (like a windshield) holds up great outside and is considered to be the best for playing basketball.

Q: How tall is this pole and how deep do I. In the concrete?

Asked by: Customer - 12/17/2015

A: The pole is about 10 feet tall, you bury it about 18 inches so the pole is about 8 1/2 feet out of the ground. Because this is adjustable, the rim actually raises higher than the top of the pole so it does go to 10 feet. We have instructions available if you would like more details.

Q: What is the difference between acrylic and tempered glass?

Asked by: Admin - 8/12/2015 1:28:26 AM

A: Acrylic is not as rigid as tempered glass, and tends to hold up better in more abusive conditions.

Q: Do I need a ground sleeve to install this basketball system?

Asked by: Admin - 8/12/2015 1:28:24 AM

A: A ground sleeve's purpose is to allow you to remove the pole of the system out of the ground it you think you will need to do that. Common reasons for removal are moving or putting the system in storage during the winter. If you do not think you will need to do this, you do not need a ground sleeve.

Q: Does the ground sleeve weaken the pole stability of the 90020?

Asked by: Admin - 8/12/2015 1:28:22 AM

A: The ground sleeve is a steel encasement that form fits the pole. At the top of the ground sleeve, after installing the pole, you will hammer in a wedge that will keep the pole from moving while in the sleeve. Stability with and without a ground sleeve is very comparable.

Easier Than I Thought

We got this for my sons birthday and I out off putting it together because I thought it was going to take longer than I wanted. The hardest part was digging and pouring the footing (I’m in a deep frost line area). Once that was complete assembling the hoop and getting it up on the base pole was actually a piece of cake. I will say It helps to have all the tools needed already that help make it easier. The hoop is up and doing its job!

Good Quality And Durable

Happy with the color and craftsmanship

Excellent Quality Goal.

We bought this goal to install at our little country church for our neighborhood kids to enjoy. The instructions were easy to follow but it did take two men two or three hours to put the goal together. We cemented the base post in and assembled the rest while it dried. We are now waiting two or three days before we install the rest of the post and goal onto the base post.

Works Great.

The product is sturdy enough for our needs and looks great. The ability to change the height of the hoop quicky and easily is my favorite feature.

Reviewed by: Hoop Star from Lifetime Customer on 3/8/2025

It Was Fine

Would be better to put together if it was possible to put the rim on last. Can’t wait for the concrete to dry so we can use it

Reviewed by: EffBomb from Lifetime Customer on 3/2/2025

Great product!

This is a great product, easy to install, and I'm very pleased with results. Shipping box was pretty beat up when it arrived, so I was worried, but all parts were there and nothing broken. Followed instructions and had it up and assembled in a couple of days. Including a picture of the finished product. ??
