Enjoy years of recreational basketball fun in your backyard with
this Lifetime Pro Court Portable Basketball System (model 1269).
It features a Pro Court base--which can be filled with sand or
water for weighting--and a 44-inch sturdy acrylic fusion
backboard, giving you the confidence to go up strong without fear
of breaking it. The backboard also offers screen-printed graphics
with UV-protected inks, and fade-resistant color. The classic rim
comes with a nylon net. The three-piece, 2.75-inch round
telescoping pole joins the solid base and backboard, and it

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.

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- system before you
decide.
In-Ground Systems
In-ground systems ( http://www..com/gp/browse.html/?node=3396711 ) are permanently cemented into the ground--either via a bolt
ing 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- Systems
Wall- systems
( http://www..com/gp/browse.html/?node=3396741 ) can be ed to
the side of a house, a tall retaining wall, or a garage.
Generally sturdier than portables, wall-s 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
ing kit to your list.
Portable Systems
Portable systems ( http://www..com/gp/browse.html/?node=3396731 ) 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-ed 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
rtunities, they are generally more expensive than the
streamlined fan-shaped board.
