Basketball hoop

The service was as promised. Delivery was great. This was a gift for my grandchildren and they love it. Didn’t take much time to install with the exception of cement drying. Wonderful.

Nice product, but a bit flimsy

I recently purchased the Lifetime 71799 and installed it according to the directions. Did not use a ground sleeve, but did put into a 22'x18' square with tons of concrete. The base is very sturdy, however, the rest of the pole and backboard seem to be top heavy! There is a lot of play and bounce when a ball hits the backboard. I realize I did not buy the top-of-the-line system, but I did expect it to be sturdy. We will see how it holds up during heavy use (by my 9 year old son) and through the winter. As for the folks at Competitive Edge Products, they were great with helping me get the best deal on this goal. The item was shipped and arrived faster than expected!

PRODUCT OK INSTRUCTIONS NEED WORK

Competitive Edge was a delight to deal with, but the product arrived missing hardware and with defective poles. The instruction book does not label the main pieces- only hardware, until the step dealing with that particular piece. So if you want to take inventory before assembly, it is very difficult. This definitely requires 2 people and is not for a beginner builder.I recommend using with an in-ground sleeve for stability for a number of reasons, including stability. The product appears to be of decent quality.

Q: The instructions emphasize seating the middle and top sections of the pole ensuring the maximum length does not exceed 83-1/2" but it does not state that you need to seat these top two sections with the bottom section. Is this necessary or preferred?

Asked by: Rob - 5/14/2020

A: For that please call: 1-800-225-3865

Q: We have the lifetime basketball hoop 51781. A storm broke the backboard off. Is there a replacement backboard we can buy? If not, do you sell any other basketball hoop with the same size pole, so we could swap out with having to remove the existing pole?

Asked by: S - 6/24/2019

A: Most of the Lifetime backboards have the same set up, so they are often interchangeable. If you want to keep the pole, then I would recommend buying a Backboard and Rim Combo and a compatible bracket. The 9594 is not adjustable and 1044 is adjustable.

Q: What is the difference between lifetime 71799 and lifetime 90084? Do you recommend one system over the other?

Asked by: Arrow Dave 11 - 3/19/2016

A: Basically the only difference is the type of backboard and the colors on the backboard. Model 71799 is better, because it has a steel frame supporting the backside of the backboard, whereas, 90084 has a plastic frame (it is still good, but still is better). They both have the same pole and adjustment mechanism. The rim is also the same.
