LifetimeShatter Proof Backboard Rim Combo, 48-Inch, Mounting Bracket Sold Separately

For the price this is great. Doesn’t look as solid as it is . My son and I love it.

My son loves it!

Sturdy backboard and rim. The rim was very difficult to put together, mostly due to difficulty installing the bar that goes in the bottom allowing the hinge to rotate for the break away. Instructions were vague and what the instructions showed was not what actually is done. Instructions say it takes two people to put it up there, but it is a lot easier with three.All and all a great board and rim.

Funny had a Spaulding basketball system inground really nice.Backboard Lexan cracked and broke, year 4.5 of 5 on the warranty and told not covered, pay $254 again.In my mind never again with Spaulding.Replaced with this Lifetime option, looks nice and is better overall quality.BUT when arrived big letters on the box, mounting kit not included.Now I agree mounting kids vary and can be costly for sure. but all I needed was the Y looking bracket, 2 stamped pieces of Sheetmetal, should have been included.That Sheetmetal mounts to the backboard, not included and you have to buy the bigger kits about $109.00 adder.Lucky for me I saved the old mounting pole parts (4 plus years old) and those two Sheetmetal pieces was there.I drilled/elongated 2 holes and bam, in business, hung and operational.A bit of a scam, they all play games on the ability to mount their products.

It arrived but was missing parts

This backboard even makes our house look better. The quality was great and pairing it with the mounting kit was perfect. I would highly recommend this combo kit for anyone that’s want a really nice looking basketball setup. I did not try any of the other mounting configurations, but the roof mount was easy and says it supports wall and pole mount in addition to my roof installation.

Great hoop for the price. Each set up is individualized so that may affect your set up experience. For me adding it to my garage was a simple set up process after buying the adjustable part. I have been able to dunk and hang on it.

While the backboard itself looks to be good quality, when we removed the protective film we noticed a large divot (see pictures). Unfortunately this was post installation and there was no way I will be returning it. My advice, carefully inspect it before you mount it.Also, there were no instructions on mounting this backboard, so I had to search the internet to find some. This was a little more challenging than I thought as it's not easily discoverable on their website.Even with the manual, there were parts (washers and spacers) that lacked any explanation. So I had to guess where they went. They should provide a physical copy, and ammendun for the parts not described.
