What Makes a Lifetime System the Best Basketball Hoop?
Construction
We guarantee the best basketball hoop by thoroughly testing our products in our in-house testing lab to ensure they meet stringent American Society for Testing and Materials ( ASTM) safety standards, as well as additional safety, environmental, and practical use standards set by Lifetime.
We guarantee the best basketball hoop because all of our systems are built with the highest-quality steel parts. Every system features a powder-coated finish that makes the poles rust- and scratch-resistant. All in-ground poles feature a patented friction-weld joint that safeguards against unwanted movement. Our rims are a heavier gauge steel than any other system on the market and we use polyethylene for our portable bases and some backboards. The best basketball hoop on the market is covered with the best warranty in the business – a top-to-bottom five year warranty.
Usability
At Lifetime, we manufacture the best basketball hoop because we strive to keep your options open. That’s why we offer two kinds of basketball systems, inground and portable, as well as a variety of backboards and height adjustment features. We’re sure you’ll find the system with everything you’re looking for!
- Inground systems provide the ultimate in stability and rigidity. Although an inground system requires a cement installation, even our inground systems can be removed if they are installed using the ground sleeve we offer in our accessories line.
- Portable systems have the advantage of easy transportation due to the roller base design. Just fill the base with sand or water for stability. They can easily be relocated from backyard patio, to driveway, to cul-de-sac.
