Kango the hole, either mix or get some ready made concrete at a local concrete yard (I did the latter, handier). Set the bottom pole, and wait until the concrete has settled. Spend a few hours putting the remaining pieces together. The manual is fine, but I followed the Lifetime howto video on YouTube. You'll need a decent socket set. I've had the basketball net up about a week now and I must say it's the bee's knee's, looks great and is very sturdy. We lower the height using the arm it when the kids are playing and raise it when the grown ups use it. For the price it's a great piece of kit for the price. Would absolutely recommend. Delighted with the purchase. Review: Excellent Hoop - Excellent hoop and very good customer service. Sent me a part for free when I installed it wrong. Rim height adjusts easily. Kids love to play on it. ## Features - 3-Piece Powder-Coated Steel Round Pole - All-Weather Net - Power Lift Adjustment - Steel-Framed Shatterproof Backboard - Tinted Polycarbonate Backboard ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000V09FPA | | Best Sellers Rank | 318,122 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) 226 in Basketball Portable Boards | | Brand | LIFETIME | | Brand Name | LIFETIME | | Colour | Black | | Country Of Origin | USA | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 626 Reviews | | Frame Material Type | Alloy Steel | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00081483000657 | | Included Components | 3-Piece Powder-Coated Steel Round Pole, All-Weather Net | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Outdoor | | Indoor/Outdoor usage | Outdoor | | Is Assembly Required | Yes | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 1.51D x 3.76W x 1.32H metres | | Item Type Name | 52-inch Ajustable In-ground Basketball System | | Item Weight | 84 Pounds | | Item weight | 84 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Lifetime | | Manufacturer Part Number | 71281 | | Material | Alloy Steel , Polycarbonate (PC) | | Material Type | Alloy Steel, Polycarbonate (PC) | | Maximum Height Recommendation | 10 Feet | | Minimum Height | 7.5 Feet | | Model Name | 71281 Lifetime Adjustable | | Model Number | 71281 | | Mount Type | Freestanding | | Product dimensions | 1.51D x 3.76W x 1.32H metres | | Rim Size | 18 Inches | | Special Features | Portable, Shatterproof | | Style Name | Shatterproof backboard | | Target Audience | Unisex | | Team Name | lifetime | | UPC | 714547187109 081483000657 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** LIFETIME - **Colour:** Black - **Indoor/Outdoor usage:** Outdoor - **Item weight:** 84 Pounds - **Material:** Alloy Steel, Polycarbonate (PC) - **Model name:** 71281 Lifetime Adjustable - **Mounting type:** Freestanding - **Product dimensions:** 1.51D x 3.76W x 1.32H metres - **Special feature:** Portable, Shatterproof - **Target audience:** Unisex ## Images ![Front Court Steel-Framed Shatterproof Portable Basketball System, 52-Inch, Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61aTKDvK3kL.jpg) ![Front Court Steel-Framed Shatterproof Portable Basketball System, 52-Inch, Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61W5Mo-QTkL.jpg) ![Front Court Steel-Framed Shatterproof Portable Basketball System, 52-Inch, Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Mf-EJVs-L.jpg) ![Front Court Steel-Framed Shatterproof Portable Basketball System, 52-Inch, Black - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71qCnMivXCL.jpg) ![Front Court Steel-Framed Shatterproof Portable Basketball System, 52-Inch, Black - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81c-FGkWaDL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How long is the pole?** A: The pole is in a couple of sections (each about 4 feet) it took me about 4 hours to dig the hole (needed 12 bags of post mix), build the backboard and lever system and erect (the next day) once concrete had gone off. It’s a really good basket ball set up, my lad is 10 and has played everyday since I put it up last year! **Q: Can this hoop go to full size/10ft?** A: Yes **Q: Is the backboard shake when you shoot a bank shot ?** A: A tiny bit but not to diminish the enjoyment of the game. It’s a brilliant stand. **Q: can you hang on the rim?** A: Although a solid set up, I wouldn’t advise this! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Serious VFM in ground basketball system *by S***Y on 27 July 2022* With any in ground system there will be a good bit of prep work.

Kids love to play on it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value, quality materials, take your time for assembly and ground sleeve prep, watch for carton damage at arrival *by M***N on 4 February 2018* I'm surprised this came shipped via fedex ground to my door... I get a LOT of freight shipments via all carriers (UPS/Fedex/DHS, freight trucks, etc..) and this item I think is really too heavy for the carton and way it is packaged... The box was in 'average' but OK condition as I recall and had some evidence of handling (crushed corners, tears in the cardboard, etc..) but still had most of the poly strapping intact. Although nothing was damaged inside, some of the parts had shifted inside as they were no longer in their correct areas of the carton... Maybe if you live further from the shipping point you might not be so lucky... You will likely need help moving the carton inside as it's almost too large/bulky for one person to move- we used a flat dolly to roll it into storage until ready for assembly. Installed this using the optional ground sleeve. I dug the hole a bit smaller than recommended, probably 24" diameter at the bottom, sloping inward to about 18" at the top) and only used about 3 80lb bags of cement (they recommend about 6-8 bags, around 600 lbs if I recall...) I set a couple of bricks and some gravel in the bottom to help with support/drainage and I filled the bottom post with concrete also. Keep in mind placement of the ground sleeve in the center of the hole you dig vs. how far back from the edge of the playing surface, as the hoop will be about 24" or so from the center of the pole... Might be an issue if you have tall delivery trucks driving close to the goal as I do with my driveway. Don't compromise this step- dig the hole wide and deep enough, use a good level to check the sleeve in both front and side orientations as the concrete sets, checking several times during the first couple of hours. You get one shot at this, since if the sleeve isn't perfectly plumb in both directions, you won't be able to fix it later without digging another hole. Assembly of everything else was fairly easy- the instructions are VERY detailed, however I seem to recall some issue trying to determine length of the appropriate bolts based on their item code in the instructions. The parts are bagged with 3 digit codes that correspond with each step of the process, but some steps involve bolts that are almost the same length, so it can be a bit confusing.. nothing that someone with mechanical skills couldn't quickly figure out, but someone who isn't handy might have trouble... There were a couple of tricky steps to complete since I was working alone, but I used the shipping carton to help during assembly (to lay the parts on to prevent damage) and I think I used a tall box to support the pole during the last steps. You absolutely need a ratchet socket set and extension and a crescent or open end/box end wrenches as there are nylock nuts involved and assembly clearance is tight in some places as I recall. Dropping the completed assembly into the ground sleeve absolutely requires additional people to assist... I found that using an 8 foot ladder placed behind the sleeve and a short 4 foot ladder in front that I was able to help guide the entire assembly as 3 people together lifted it into place and dropped into the sleeve. My son loves it and is always shooting hoops! I hope the 1/8" acrylic backboard holds up better than the previous portable model (from a different manufacturer) that ended up cracking/breaking due to heat & UV exposure. Overall the performance is adequate- there's a bit of vibration when hitting the backboard and the entire goal wobbles a tiny bit... but I don't think this is due to the concrete footing- more to the thin wall pipe and slip-joint sleeve type assembly... The goal assembly only took about 2-3 hours working alone, but just take your time, read through the instructions first... you'll have plenty of time since you need to let the concrete cure for a few days anyway... The whole time they'll be asking you 'when will it be ready'! ## Frequently Bought Together - Lifetime 71281 In Ground Power Lift Basketball System, 52 Inch Shatterproof Backboard - Spalding Street Performance All Surface Outdoor Basketballs - 29.5", 28.5", 27.5" - Lifetime 0023 Basketball In-Ground Sleeve for Existing 3.5" Round Pole --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/58430729-front-court-steel-framed-shatterproof-portable-basketball-system-52-inch](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/58430729-front-court-steel-framed-shatterproof-portable-basketball-system-52-inch) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-06-07*
