This in-ground basketball system from Lifetime Products features a 44-inch Shatterproof Fusion® backboard with a Quick Adjust® height adjustment mechanism that adjusts from 8 to 10 feet high. It also includes a Classic Rim with an all-weather net and a 3.5-inch diameter round steel pole. So bring the arena home with a residential basketball system from Lifetime Products. Lifetime's 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. A ground sleeve allows for later removal of the pole if necessary.

• Backboard: The Shatterproof Fusion™ Backboard integrates a shatterproof polycarbonate playing surface with an unbreakable polyethylene frame for a durable, pro-glass look. Graphics are screen-printed with UV-protected inks for superior color and protection against the elements.
• Classic Rim: The original classic basketball rim! The Classic Rim features a 5/8-inch solid-steel ring supported by 1/2-inch braces and an all-weather net.
• Adjustment Mechanism: Quick Adjust® - Raise or lower the rim height from 8 to 10 feet using a broomstick. Now players of any age or skill can enjoy the game at their level.
• In-Ground System: Our round steel poles feature a patented friction-weld joint that safeguards against unwanted movement. The 3-piece, 3.5-inch round steel pole is protected with a powder-coated, weather-resistant finish.
