Amazon.com Product Description:
Hone your jump shot in your spare moments or perform a backyard dunking drill with this Lifetime portable basketball system. Unlike in-ground basketball hoops--which are typically anchored in concrete--this portable hoop rolls on wheels, letting you position the basket support in your desired location, from the back patio to the middle of the cul-de-sac. All you have to do is fill the 27-gallon base with water or sand and play.



The Lifetime hoop adjusts from 7.5 to 10 feet in 6-inch increments.
Lifetime knows that younger players aren't always ready for a 10-foot hoop, which is why the basket boasts a height-adjustment mechanism. The telescoping mechanism adjusts from 7.5 to 10 feet in 6-inch increments--no tools required--letting players of all ages and skill levels enjoy the game on their own terms. Aspiring dunkers can also gradually raise the basket 6 inches at a time as their vertical improves, although the 18-inch solid steel rim is not a breakaway rim. The black rim is instead extremely stable, with 1/2-inch steel braces, welded steel net hooks, and a 50-gram net.

And players needn't worry about the 44-inch backboard wearing dramatically over time thanks to the UV-protected, high-density polyethylene construction. This sturdy plastic material helps the board resist chipping and cracking while protecting the graphics from fading. Also equipped with a black, powder-coated, three-piece pole, the Lifetime system carries a five-year warranty.

About Lifetime
In the beginning, all the founder of Lifetime Products wanted was a sturdier basketball pole for his backyard. With this in mind, he found and purchased a piece of heavy-duty used pipe, a sheet of plywood, and a basketball rim. The resulting backyard basketball standard functioned perfectly in his backyard. Seeing the potential of his hoop, he placed an ad in the local free classified newspaper and made his first sale. The rest--as they say--is history. He created the American PlayWorld Company in 1973, based out of his garage in Riverdale, Utah. After expanding into several other types of playground equipment, he eventually moved to a bigger location in South Ogden, Utah. Several years later, the company transformed the basketball industry by introducing the Quick Adjust basketball pole, the first complete basketball system you could raise and lower with a broomstick. In 1986, American PlayWorld created Lifetime Products, a separate company intended to concentrate specifically on manufacturing adjustable basketball systems. In the ensuing years, the company has grown from having 18 employees in a 32,000-square-foot space in half a warehouse to more than 1,400 employees and 2.6 million square feet over 23 separate buildings.

Customer Reviews


Ok basketball hoop
I purchased the lifetime 1221 pro court basketball hoop it came when it was promised, the only problem I had was it was shipped with two of the same backets that hold the hoop up. I called the customer service department the same day and they shipped it out that day with a three day turn around. They gave me no problems. I recieved the part three days later and finished putting the hoop together. It was pretty easy me and my 67yr father put it together. My son which is 10 loves it. It is a good starter hoop


rim for Rah
I was so happy to receive this goal. My daughter is over the moon with it and we are happy as well. I was pleased with the timeliness and the efficiency of the order. Thank you Amazon and Lifetime for a job well done.


instructions with assembly
the price is a good deal, however the instruction manual was very poorly written. it took me 3 hours to hook the basketball hoop up. the instructions were confusing and not easy to follow. Other than the poor instruction manual, my girls age 5 and age 7 really enjoyed having the basketball hoop outside.


another great one
got this for my niece and nepfews at there grandma house. now they all are playing rec. basketball from age 5 to 9


Certainly not as difficult as people make it sound
After reading the assembly reviews on this page, we made sure we had a good three hours to assemble this, and three people. Frankly, a third person made it a little easier, but three was CERTAINLY not necessary. If you had the right height table to lean it on, we could have done with one.

This was assembled within 1 hour. It was easy enough to adjust, although it's best if you have a ladder.

The system is pretty sturdy, and we wish it wasn't the dead of winter to put sand in it. Water would certainly freeze.

The two improvements I'd recommend...(1) a warning on the page that sand or water must be in the base or it will tip over and (2) better drawings of the nuts/bolts/screws. With pictures that don't exactly match what is given (and several things looking so similarly), it is easy to confuse which belongs where...but nothing was that horrible...we managed fine.
