Lifetime's in-ground basketball hoops are the perfect option for beginning and season players alike! In-ground basketball systems provide ultimate rigidity and take up less space than portable basketball systems. If you're concerned about the permanence of an in-ground system, remember that while in-ground basketball hoops do require cement, they need not be permanent if you use a ground sleeve (sold separately). A ground sleeve allows for later removal of the pole if necessary. This system features a 50&quot; Steel Framed Shatterproof backboard complete with a Slam-It&reg; Rim that adjusts from 7.5 to 10 feet, allowing everyone to play the game at their own level. So, invite friends, new and old, to make great memories together.

Does this system include a basketball net?

It comes with a cap. Definitely use it! I lost my first one and the water got inside the pole and it rusted through in five years. The newer pole is not rusted at all now that there is a cap.

Yes, I plastic cap fits into the opening of the top pole.

Does this system come with a cap for the pole so water does not get inside?

This system does not come with a ground sleeve. To inquire about ordering a ground sleeve for this system, please call the Lifetime Customer Service Department at 1 800 225 3865 or email customercare@lifetime.com.

The in-ground sleeve does not come with it. Personally, I don't think you need it. I sat the pole 14" in the ground with concrete and the basket was 10 feet on the nose. You are requested to fill the first pole section with concrete as well. When complete and cured, it will not move. You can get the sleeve on Amazon as well as the basket for the same price.

in ground sleeve can be found at manufacturers website, lifetime.com

No. The sleeve is sold separately. Amazon sells them and dicks sporting goods store does as well

Does the in-ground sleeve come with product? If not, where do we purchase it?

Phenominal Customer Service!! My husband assembled the majorty of it while the cement was drying. This project literally took a minimal amount of time and effort. We called customer service because he mis judged the placement so we had to order an additinal plole but it was shipped without any issue. So far my kiddos are happy. The only Part of installation that needed more than one person was, placing the top half of the goal on the in ground base! Great price for a great product!!

Simple ans sturdy

Overall, I was very pleased with this basketball sustem. I bought it for my son's eleventh birthday. I was worried after seeing some of the other reviews about setting it up and installing the in ground system. We bought the in ground sleeve (which I highly recommend) and used quick set cement (we had cement set for 24 hours before adding the final system to it). My husband did the in ground sleeve, cement, and was able to put everything together on his own within a few hours (with the exception of a trip to the hardware store to get the correct size bolt for one spot...the wrong size came with it). The only help he received from another person was actually lifting the final product onto the group sleeve pole, and it all went smoothly. We bought it three weeks ago and have been using it nonstop. It's also super easy to change the height...even my younger child can do it. Great value for a great system...very pleased!

Great basketball system for the price

This is perfect for our family! It is nice and sturdy, some what easy to assemble. Directions can be slightly confusing. Couple of the bolts look like they are wrong size but weren't. But overall excellent hoop! We plan to put an outdoor court up soon around it!

Great Hoop

I purchased this item because of the price and the reviews I read here. Based on what I read on the reviews found here, this product was exactly what I was expecting. I installed this system last weekend and our kids have been playing on it non-stop. It's not super-sturdy, but it is definitely sufficient for anyone looking to have a basketball hoop on their property at an affordable price. I followed the instructions to "T" with one exception: I dug a 12'' x 36" hole instead of the 18" x 24" hole stated in the instructions. I used a manual post hole digger for the hole; this took about 1.5 hours from the time I broke ground until the time I was ready to pour concrete. I installed this system using the 3.5" (diameter) x 18" in-ground sleeve others recommended here. I also used a 12" cardboard cylinder from the hardware store instead of using rebar during the install of the concrete. I used roughly 300 lbs. of concrete mix when I installed this basketball system. Concrete pouring lasted about 30-45 minutes from start to finish. Then, came the assembly of the pole/backboard while the concrete was setting. Assembly of the entire pole/backboard took about 3-4 hours. I thought the directions were very precise and fairly easy to follow; most of the diagrams are very detailed and this makes assembly much easier when sorting through all of the parts that come in the box. Some of the fittings are a little "snug", but nothing that a little tap from a hammer couldn't take care of. I had absolutely no issues with the hardware (nuts, bolts, etc.) that came with the kit. Others here have stated that they didn't receive all the parts or were provided wrong size bolts, etc. I didn't have any of these issues; I received all hardware required (even had 1 extra washer and self-tapping screw after completing assembly). I finished assembly of the pole/backboard and let the concrete cure for 2 days before I completed assembly. I would say I spent about 10 hours total with a little help from my 8-year old son (8 to 9 hours digging the hole, pouring the concrete, and assembling the rest of the pole/backboard and an additional hour doing the final install two days after the concrete cured). This basketball system works great for us; we have young kids and they really enjoy it. It was well worth the price and I would buy one again.

Great for the kids!

Bad news: The directions were horrible. Also the pieces that were milled to put together were done very sloppily. My husband professionally installed basketball hoops for years so he thought this would be easy. Two hours later we were finished. Just saying make sure you have the time and the patience, especially if you're a newbie. We expected more from Lifetime, a company we trust. Good news: The hoop and the pole itself have been loved so far and hopefully will hold up for years. And not a bad price!

Assembly was rough, but otherwise we love it.

Read the reviews -- ALL the reviews -- and you will get a really good picture in your mind of what to expect. The basket ball goal seems to be of good quality -- but there are challenges you must face during the build stage...

The box the item is shipped in is terribly flimsy. Luckily, nothing fell out of my box, and the backboard was not broken.

THURSDAY AFTERNOON: We took everything out of the box, and laid it out in the garage for easy picking when needed. Inventory went well (we actually had some extra parts), but the plastic bags are NOT labeled to show what is inside. This leaves a little bit of guess work, and is irritating. There is already printing on the bags -- Lifetime should just print the part numbers on the bag for easy identification.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON: The first step is to dig a huge hole, and use 15 bags of 50# cement. We only used 11 bags of cement, despite following the directions exactly. While the concrete set for the next three days, we assembled the basketball goal in the garage.

SATURDAY: Despite the instructions saying three adults could put this basketball goal together, we were challenged with four adults. The first few pages of the instructions only show 2 or 3 parts and are easy to follow -- but the instructions become much more complicated with the turn of each page. Images are too small and not detailed enough to figure out exactly what needs to be done. Be ready to take things apart after you install them! Also, I used a 4-pound sledge hammer, and used the outside wall of my brick house to try to seat the poles as instructed -- it's simply not possible, as the 2x4 piece of wood eventually split in half (and the poles were STILL not seated as required by the instructions).

SUNDAY: Day of rest. Mother's Day. We couldn't work on it at all, because our mothers and wives are so darned demanding... :)

MONDAY AFTERNOON: We put the final parts together, and installed the poles with the previously described 4-pound sledge hammer. Again, it is not possible to install the poles as instructed, as the second piece of wood split in three places (and the poles were STILL not seated as required by the instructions).

SUGGESTIONS:

1) The edges of the backboard are EXTREMELY SHARP -- I cut myself twice on Monday afternoon (completely filleted my index finger once, and just a normal cut on my thumb a second time). I did not see a warning in the instructions, and it would be really easy for Lifetime to simply bevel the sharp edge a little to get rid of that razor sharp edge!

2) Lifetime needs to include the thickness of the powder coat in their assembly process. There is absolutely NO WAY we could have assembled this basketball goal without that 4-pound sledgehammer. Bolts didn't fit into holes without several taps from the sledgehammer. The three part 10-inch pole never did properly fit together -- even WITH the 3-pound sledgehammer.

3) Lifetime needs to reconsider the order in which the parts are installed. It is nearly impossible to install the raising/lowering arms on the 10-inch pole with the backboard and hoop already installed. The hoop should be installed LAST, so you can lay the backboard FLAT and easily install the raising/lowering arms on the 10-inch pole.

4) After getting to page 44 of the instructions (with only 7 pages to go), we decided to ignore the instructions, take OFF the raising/lowering arm, and install the basketball goal in the order that actually makes sense. After we deviated from the instructions, the assembly went very smoothly and without much stress.

In all, we spent about 8 hours putting it all together (not including time waiting for the concrete to dry). The finished product is AWESOME -- my three kids and I absolutely love it!

Just be prepared to be frustrated (and add some blood, sweat, and tears) during the assembly process. :)

Exactly what you expect.

a decent in ground system. I highly recommend getting a ground sleeve as well. it makes installation much easier. the backboard seemed a bit flimsy. However, once the system was up it held up well. the system looks cosmetically appealing. It does take a good 90 minutes at least to install. The directions are terrible. You have to improv a few things. You absolutely need 2 people at least to put together and install. I also bought a lifetime ground sleeve, which I was able to install myself.  For the price you can't do much better. a overall a very good in ground system. I did a ton of research prior to buying and this seemed to be the best system in this price range.

good for the price

My husband is great at building things and assembling items, however this one was quite difficult. The directions were awful!  There were several times when he had to take it back apart because he realized that something was in the wrong spot. The directions weren't very clear on which poles went where. They didn't have a size comparison differentiating the poles or even labels on the poles. It was trial and error on where they went. It took several hours for assembly due to lack of clarity on the directions.  Once up, my family loved it. It seems a little more wobbly than I expected, but that may be the way it's supposed to be.

Nice once up, but difficult to assemble

Great when it stayed up. Fairly easy to set up. However, it did not stand up to North Dakota winds. It bent in 50 mph winds even with the backboard lowered. Now I have to find a way to replace

Be careful ordering from Walmart. They may send you a trampoline. Then accuse you of lying (even after they get it back).  Then try to keep your money and not send you the goal.

Seems like a good goal, but Walmart steals it
