Do not buy! The cheap, plastic adjustable handle broke before we even used it.

I am just completing installation - Adding sand, then done! Several years ago, I purchased a Lifetime BB System that was for my grandchildren and it had a max height of 7 1/2 feet. It was fine and still in great shape. But now we need a BB System adjustable up to full height 10 feet. Based on our satisfaction with the other Lifetime Product, we selected Lifetime again! Most important, no missing parts and no defects and so install had no holdups. Two steps to be aware of and what may help: (1) The only sort of hiccup is installing the plastic protective covers onto the bottom edge of the backboard - The screw holes into the backboard frame are not provided. The instructions, while they show a drill is needed to screw in the supposedly self-tapping screws, checking the video, you indeed need to install the screws with a power tool. Video shows it is easy…but not quite that easy. Hard to get the self-tapping screws started. Instructions do not indicate but much easier to first drill holes thru with a drill bit and then use a Phillips head bit in the power drill to install the screws. (2) Adding sand seems like a no-brainer easy last step but can be very time consuming if that sand is moist - hard to pass thru the funnel and into the holes in the base. Ensure that the sand you purchase is dry - If you buy play sand in bags that allow you to move the sand around in the bag, you can tell if it is dry, then store at home where it will remain dry or buy it one you are ready that day to fill the base. The install really needs two people for a number of the steps, so ensure you will have assistance.

Easy and straightforward assembly instructions. Excellent quality and craftmanship, highly recommend.

My son really likes the basketball hoop. It is built well and seems durable. The only barrier is it does not move easy to go from front yard to back yard.
