Lifetime Height Adjustable Portable Basketball System, 44 Inch Backboard
Description
The Lifetime 1221 Pro Court Adjustable Portable Basketball
Hoop with 44 Inch Impact Backboard is perfect for recreational home use. The
Lifetime 1221 portable basketball system features a 44 inch 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. Hone your jump shot in your spare moments or perform a
backyard dunking drill with this Lifetime portable basketball system. Unlike
in-ground basketball hoops–which are typically anchored in concrete–this
portable hoop rolls on wheels, letting you position the basket support in your
desired location, from the back patio to the middle of the cul-de-sac. All you
have to do is fill the 27-gallon base with water or sand and play. The
Lifetime hoop adjusts from 7.5 to 10 feet in 6-inch increments. Lifetime knows
that younger players aren’t always ready for a 10-foot hoop, which is why the
basket boasts a height-adjustment mechanism. The telescoping mechanism adjusts
from 7.5 to 10 feet in 6-inch increments–no tools required–letting players
of all ages and skill levels enjoy the game on their own terms. Aspiring
dunkers can also gradually raise the basket 6 inches at a time as their
vertical improves, although the 18-inch solid steel rim is not a breakaway
rim. The black rim is instead extremely stable, with 1/2-inch steel braces,
welded steel net hooks, and a 50-gram net. And players needn’t worry about the
44-inch backboard wearing dramatically over time thanks to the UV-protected,
high-density polyethylene construction. This sturdy plastic material helps the
board resist chipping and cracking while protecting the graphics from fading.
Also equipped with a black, powder-coated, three-piece pole, the Lifetime
system carries a five-year warranty. About Lifetime In the beginning, all the
founder of Lifetime Products wanted was a sturdier basketball pole for his
backyard. With this in mind, he found and purchased a piece of heavy-duty used
pipe, a sheet of plywood, and a basketball rim. The resulting backyard
basketball standard functioned perfectly in his backyard. Seeing the potential
of his hoop, he placed an ad in the local free classified newspaper and made
his first sale. The rest–as they say–is history. He created the American
PlayWorld Company in 1973, based out of his garage in Riverdale, Utah. After
expanding into several other types of playground equipment, he eventually
moved to a bigger location in South Ogden, Utah. Several years later, the
company transformed the basketball industry by introducing the Quick Adjust
basketball pole, the first complete basketball system you could raise and
lower with a broomstick. In 1986, American PlayWorld created Lifetime
Products, a separate company intended to concentrate specifically on
manufacturing adjustable basketball systems. In the ensuing years, the company
has grown from having 18 employees in a 32,000-square-foot space in half a
warehouse to more than 1,400 employees and 2.6 million square feet over 23
separate buildings.
