Lifetime 48 Inch (121cm) Portable Basketball Hoop, Shatterproof Backboard, 8-10 ft Speed Shift

Lifetime 48 Inch (121cm) Portable Basketball Hoop

This Lifetime 48 inch portable basketball hoop is a family system for anyone who wants a game in the garden, on the drive or at the park. Its Speed Shift mechanism changes the rim height from 8 to 10 feet with the pull of a handle. Fill the 154 litre base with water or sand, and the steel-framed shatterproof backboard is ready for your toughest shots.

Tougher Than a Bargain Backyard Hoop

Thin plastic backboards crack, flex and wobble after a few seasons of hard shots, and many budget hoops need two people and a spanner to change height. This system uses a 48 inch steel-framed, shatterproof Makrolon backboard mounted on a 3 inch, 3-piece powder-coated round steel pole. The Speed Shift mechanism uses counter-balance springs to adjust in 6 inch increments, so changing height takes one pull. The Slam-It rim has double compression springs and an all-weather nylon net, built for long seasons outdoors.

Why This 48 Inch Portable Basketball Hoop Holds Up

• Slam-It Rim: double compression springs and an all-weather nylon net handle dunks, rebounds and British weather.
• 154 Litre Base: fill with water or sand for a planted, stable setup that stays put during play.
• Speed Shift Adjustment: move between 8 and 10 feet in 6 inch increments using counter-balance springs and a pull handle.
• 18 Inch Hoop: a full 45.7cm diameter rim gives a proper target for practice and family games.

Shootarounds After School

Children can practise at 8 feet while they grow into the full 10 foot rim, then raise it in seconds when the adults want a game. Family matches on the drive become a regular ritual rather than a once-a-year trip to the local court.
