Lifetime strives to keep your options open by designing versatile accessories like our basketball pole sleeve (or ground sleeve). Giving you the rigidity of an in-ground pole with the convenience of easy removal. The basketball pole sleeve provides you with the option for later removal of your basketball system if you should move or desire to replace the system. Installation requires cement which provides the rigidity you desire. The Lifetime ground sleeve is easy to use. The unique design allows you to slide the pole into the ground sleeve and a locking tab secures it to the ground. For removal, simply unlock and slide the pole out.

For additional information on this product, please see the Product Documents section for all downloadable user manuals, installation guides, brochures and warranty statements.

Great customer service

I bought an in ground basketball hoop. When I installed this, I realized I was missing some parts. I contacted customer service and they got the parts to me very quickly, no questions asked. Writing this review is harder than it was to make a claim. Thank you

Missing part

4 years ago
I was gifted a inground sleeve for my basketball system however it was missing a locking tab. I reached out lifetime and within hours received a response. I emailed Daniela the information that was requested and received another email the next morning that the missing part was being shipped. Great response time and amazing customer service. Lifetime will continue to be my go to for all of their products. Thanks Daniela.
