Sports reviews of Lifetime 1225 Pro Court Height-Adjustable Portable Basketball System with 44-Inch Backboard

Customer Review: OVER 10 YRS OLD & WAS STILL STRONG, UNTIL.....
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

I purchased the Lifetime "Street Court" model that appears very similar to this over 10 years ago for my husband and daughter. She was only 7 at the time. It helped the father-daughter bonding, and when we moved 1000 miles away it helped our daughter make new friends in our new neighborhood. It spent years in Massachusetts and saw so much snow, we've photos of our daughter standing on a snow bank, behind the goal, dropping her basketball down thru the hoop. It moved with us to North Carolina and has withstood Tornado force winds. It has withstood all types of severe weather. It withstood years of delivery people and even our daughter learning to drive and no incidents. Unfortunately, yesterday a workman backed his truck into our portable hoop at the edge of our driveway and demolished the bottom pole, braces and base (not to mention his chrome bumper!) Husband and daughter are devastated. The Workman is very apologetic and wanting to replace it. Daughter is grown and off to college and husband is retired. I am trying to find replacement parts. It's like losing a member of the family! I highly recommend the products from this manufacturer.

Description of Lifetime 1225 Pro Court Height-Adjustable Portable Basketball System with 44-Inch Backboard

The Lifetime Pro Court 1225 Adjustable Portable Basketball Hoop with 44 Inch Bevel Impact Backboard is perfect for recreational home use. The Lifetime 1225 portable basketball system features a 44 inch Impact Reactor Rebound Polyethylene backboard, a classic basketball rim and a 27 gallon Pro Court base. The telescoping post allows you to adjust the basketball goal from 7.5-10 feet in 6 inch increments, so that players of any age can enjoy the game at their level.
Fun for the entire family, this portable basketball system can go anywhere you want to shoot hoops. This system features a 44-inch backboard, three pieces of 3-inch round black telescoping pole sections, a black classic rim, and a 27 gallon portable base. The backboard is constructed of high-density polyethylene, making it durable and rugged to withstand the elements. The rim features a 5/8-inch solid steel ring and is supported by 1/2-inch braces; the all-weather nylon net is long-lasting. The telescoping pole adjusts the rim height from 7.5 to 10 feet in 6-inch increments without the use of tools. To stabilize the base, a 27-gallon capacity (about 234 pounds of water or 364 pounds of sand) allow for a stable foundation.

Portable basketball systems depend on a base filled with sand or water for stability. Although it will take up more space than an in-ground system, the portable base rolls on wheels, allowing players to position the basketball system in the desired location (and also allowing storage in a garage). Simply assemble, fill the base, and star shooting some hoops. There is no fussing with concrete.

Amazon.com Basketball System Buying Guide
With the high-quality construction of many portable basketball systems, turning your driveway into a basketball court can be as simple as hooking up your garden hose. But while a portable system may ultimately be your best choice, there are reasons you may want to consider an in-ground or wall-mount system before you decide.

In-Ground Systems
In-ground systems are permanently cemented into the ground--either via a bolt mounting kit or directly into the ground--and are generally more rigid and take up less space than portables. In-ground systems often require that you hire a professional to complete the task, but when the cement dries you'll have a hoop that can take punishing dunks with ease.

Many in-ground systems are height-adjustable, include removable post features that let you take the system down for off-season storage, and feature heavy-duty break-away rims. You'll also want to research the adjustable mechanisms on the systems, as there are several types to choose from. Some feature a counter-balance spring that lets you perform easy, one-hand adjustments while others may feature a sturdy, pneumatic system.

Wall-Mount Systems
Wall-mount systems can be mounted to the side of a house, a tall retaining wall, or a garage. Generally sturdier than portables, wall-mounts have the added advantage of optimizing your existing ground space for the court, since you won't take any space up with the base or pole. Not all systems include the necessary hardware, so make certain you add a mounting kit to your list.

Portable Systems
Portable systems require minimal installation and offer ultimate convenience. These systems generally feature a base that can be filled with sand or water to stabilize them and include wheels for portability. Although they are not as sturdy as in-ground or wall-mounted hoops, portables are simple to set up and can often be folded for convenient storage.

Backboard Considerations
Regardless of which system you choose, you'll want to brush up on Backboards 101. Most residential systems feature backboards made of acrylic, fiberglass, graphite, or various other composite materials. While clear acrylic gives the professional look and feel of glass, it is not as rigid as fiberglass or graphite. Some systems may offer steel or aluminum backboards, which are virtually vandal resistant, but don't offer the true rebounding action.

The regulation size of an NBA backboard is 72 inches wide and 42 inches high. Most portable hoops are 42 or 44 inches wide and 36 inches tall. In-ground systems tend to be a bit larger, with 54-inch and 60-inch widths being the most popular. While rectangular shaped backboards provide more bank shot opportunities, they are generally more expensive than the streamlined fan-shaped board.
