Assembly tough - The assembly is challenging if you haven't graduated from MIT . Take a sick day off work for this puppy : The product is amazing. Review: Well Built - Need Two People To Assemble - I assembled this portable hoop and it is great. By mistake I threw out the two cap/stoppers for the base. I called Lifetime and they kindly sent me a replacement set free of charge. I would advise you to read the instructions ahead of time and also get familiar with the material list (yellow colored document). I assembled the unit on the driveway and used the box cover as a floor cover. This protected the painted metal items from getting scratched while assembling. I would advise the following for better operation and safety. 1. Once assembled use silicone lube on all of the connections. This will keep them operating smoothly and help prevent rust as the paint wears away due to friction of the moving parts. 2. I wiped the area where the hoop height label was to be affixed with rubbing alcohol prior to attaching the label. Then I pressed the label onto the shaft making sure there were no air bubbles. To seal in the edges of the label I gave the entire label area a few coats of UV resistant clear coat. I paid special emphasis to the edges of the label. This way the label will not start to fray or peel from the shaft due to weather and temp extremes. 3. Lifetime recommends filling the base with sand. This makes sense since sand is heavier than water (about 40% heavier). However, once it is filled with sand moving it is not going to be easy. I used water in the base (for easier moving and emptying) and for peace of mind I used spiral in-ground stakes with a ratchet belt around the main shaft. The stake set I used is the "Keeper 05400 Severe Weather Kit." I also poured in a gallon of car antifreeze to prevent the water from freezing and cracking the plastic base weight. ## Features - SHATTERPROOF 50 IN BACKBOARD: 50 in. x 30 in. x 2 in.

Assembly tough *by A***" on July 9, 2026* The assembly is challenging if you haven't graduated from MIT .

We do really like it. Although the box was kind of mangled b/c it wasn't lifted or delivered properly (and it shifted quite a bit as a result) nothing was broken. It was pretty easy to assemble and erect. I used F-clamps to help hold things while pushing bolts through the holes for the backboard assembly. I also recommend a flashlight for anyone attempting to put in the bolt that requires Allen wrenches (indeed, I didn't use the wrenches supplied but instead used my spinner handle with a bit on one end and my ratchet on the other). As well, this was the hardest bolt to push through and my suggestion is that you not push the bolt all the way into the pole but rather use a flashlight and find the hole first. There is a bit of a lip. I only run about 5'10" and 155lbs, but hand no trouble lifting the whole assembly to fill with water. Just use a brick or similar block for a pivot/fulcrum and it's easy to raise. My biggest concern right now is the pair of bolt heads that are exposed on the face of the pole where the lowering mechanism is attached. There were no cover supplied for these and I'm pretty sure from past experience that these will cut a basketball. Some sort of rubber cover will be needed. I'm going to use some chair feet for wooden floors and sticky tack. We'll try that and see. Otherwise, highly recommended. Great price. Update: ours and our neighbours' (they have the next size down) both survived Tropical Storm Julia and Hurricane Matthew. We did put a little bit more water in ours than they recommended and it did stay upright. The wind turned it. The neighbours' hoop did start to float (less water) and fell over both times, but it did survive. When Hurricane Matthew started to get rough, we put ours on its side. The funny thing was it collected water in the backboard. We haven't figured out how to get that out yet. ## Frequently Bought Together - Lifetime 1529 Courtside Height Adjustable Portable Basketball System, 50 Inch Shatterproof Backboard, Black/Red/Blue, Standard - BaseGel Polymer for Basketball Goal and Outdoor Indoor Sign Hoops Bases, Perfect Replacement for Sand and Sandbags to Anchor Portable Sports Pools Baskets, Easy to Use and Apply with Water, 16 oz - Spalding Street Performance All Surface Outdoor Basketballs - 29.5", 28.5", 27.5" --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/1677709-1529-courtside-height-adjustable-portable-basketball-system-50-inch-shatterproof](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/1677709-1529-courtside-height-adjustable-portable-basketball-system-50-inch-shatterproof) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-10-15*
