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 applied pipe, a sheet of plywood, and a basketball rim. The resulting backyard basketball ordinary functioned utterly in his backyard. Seeing the potential of his hoop, he placed an ad in the local free classified newspaper and made his original sale. The rest–as they say–is history. He invented the American PlayWorld Company in 1973, based out of his garage in Riverdale, Utah. After expanding into assorted other types of playground equipment, he in the end moved to a more spectacular emplacement in South Ogden, Utah. Several years later, the company transformed the basketball industry by introducing the Quick Adjust basketball pole, the original finish basketball scheme you could raise and lower with a broomstick. In 1986, American PlayWorld formulated Lifetime Products, a discerned company intended to concentrate quintessentially on formulating adaptable basketball systems. In the ensuing years, the company has grown from having 18 workers in a 32,000-square-foot space in half a warehouse to more than 1,400 workers and 2.6 million square feet over 23 distinguished buildings.

 Hoops for amateurs
By T. Leary
This backboard works utterly for our purpose. It is portable, but I commend sand for weighting so you don’t have to worry when it comes to water freezing. Also, altering the height of the pole is a two-person task. We have a nine-year-old daughter for whom it was purchased, and she can’t put sufficient power into her shots to do any damage, but if you have kids who want to hang on the rim or shoot from a long distance, this in all probability isn’t the right set for you.

Great for kids!
By Kristos E. Zagorianos
I ordered this from Amazon, and it came very quickly. It wasn’t the most difficult or elaborated product to assemble but it wasn’t a walk in the park either. There was one missing bolt, but I happened to have one laying around.
If you will not be altering height often, this is an amazing set up. If you have multiple children with dramatic deviations in accomplishments and height, you may want to consider something else. Mainly something with an posing no difficulty adjustment feature.
my two boys (2nd grade and Kindergarten) love this ‘hoop’. To modify the height you have to tip it over( using physics it is not that hard). But, you will need one person to pull the backboard out, and hold it steady so you may re-insert the removable bolt.
There are some who will ‘poo-poo’ any portable system. if you want professional quality backboard feel and quality, then….get a professional quality system…but if you have kids under 12, and want something to play with, then this is a outstanding system.
