Lifetime 44" Clear Fusion Poolside Portable Hoop

I bought this item last summer for our pool, in less than 4 months the pole had rusted to the point that the pool deck was drastically stained. It could have easily been made from stainless steel or received a better protective coating. We really enjoyed the goal, but not worth the rust issues.

I just bought this basketball system this morning. The backboard brackets are too short and don’t reach the holes in the back board to mount it together

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love having this basketball hoop by our pool. The grand kids play with it for hours (the young ones AND the older ones)! It's sturdy, both the base and the hoop can withstand all the heavy duty play it gets. I highly recommend!

We got this hoop a month ago. It was relatively easy to put together but does require 2 people at one point to hold the rim and get the bolts through the holes with the spacers.

Loving our new pool basketball hoop! It didn’t take too long to assemble (around 1 hour for my husband by himself) and instructions were straight forward. It is sturdy and I love the height of the hoop which prevents kids from hanging on it. It feels durable and like it will last us awhile. t definitely puts our old basketball hoop to shame. Would highly recommend!!

Previously owned a Lifetime basketball hoop and loved it, but really fell in love with the clear backboard and fun/stylish decals on this one. I was able to assemble it by myself in about an hour and the quality/design make it super-sturdy and able to quickly move and position around the pool depending on what games we have going on. As with all Lifetime products, they've thoroughly thought through the various features and everything is built to be safe, secure, and durable for many years to come!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are a big fan of Lifetime products at our house and this poolside hoop does not disappoint. Assembly begins as a one man job, but once you get to the hoop attaching portion it is best to find a buddy for assistance. I like the clear backboard and the shark decal is a fun addition. I appreciate how substantial the setup of the hoop is- with the proper amount of fill in the base that thing isn’t going anywhere you don’t want it to go. On the other hand, the rolling wheels make it easy to move to different locations around the pool. The same quality materials and durability we’ve grown to expect from our Lifetime products, I know my family will be enjoying this hoop for years to come.

This basketball hoop was easy to assemble. My husband only needed my help a few times. You can tell that the materials were high quality because it stands very sturdy. It was easy to wheel over to where we wanted it and filling it up with the hose then moving it again was easy. As long as you have two people. I just wish it came with a basketball, but it worked with our little tikes basketball for now. Highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids have had so much fun playing with the poolside basketball hoop! Assembly was fairly simple, my 15 year old son and I were able to put it together quickly. High quality materials, and very sturdy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We LOVE this hoop! We are huge Lifetime fans, and this is another great product. Assembly was very straightforward, they packaged the parts/steps individually which made finding hardware and parts so much easier! Only a standard wrench was needed. It’s small and light enough to do with one person, but having two makes it just a little easier. It fits through door ways, so it was a bonus to be able to assemble inside too. The quality and durability is excellent. Every component was very well made with a high level of precision, and you can tell it will withstand years of intense sun and chlorine and still look like new. So many products now look great in photos are cheaply manufactured when you see them in person, and this isn’t one of them. I appreciated the substantial base, because I’ve seen poolside basketball hoops tip over when a game gets rowdy or with wind. This isn’t going anywhere! With the wheels on the front, it’s still easy to move around with just one person. I love the modern look of the shark design! It makes it feel unique and custom. The design is so well done and placed on the back of the backboard, so it won’t scratch or fade. We can’t wait to get a second one for full scale games!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We LOVE our poolside hoop! The whole family gets in on the fun! My boys love basketball and they couldn't wait to put it together and start playing. I can tell it's a high-quality hoop that is going to last a long time. My son assembled it on his own and did just fine. We love that it's sturdy and looks nice too. We couldn't be happier with it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Assembly was hard. Our instructions that came in the box told us to do it the wrong on page 13. We downloaded the instructions from the website and were able to do it correctly. Our kids have loved it and have spent to much time using it already even though it's not peak swimming season. It is super heavy duty and we are impressed with it. The only reason for the 4 stars is because of the assembly.
