Is it adjustable

[@LifetimeProductsAssembly]

@@yvngskull Yes, it is telescoping, which is another form of adjustment have on our hoops. *LS

[@LifetimeProductsAssembly]

@@yvngskull Yes! Our Youth Systems adjust 5.5 ft. - 7.5 ft.

[@KristinHenderson1981]

Finally got this thing figured out after watching this video several times! The directions it came with doesn’t list ALL of the steps! Extremely frustrating! Just glad it’s over with! FYI, the plug that ours came with doesn’t fit! It’s too big! It will not go in. And our brackets were already bent.

[@arslanshakoor5248]

It was extremely difficult to assemble this, choice of nuts and bolt can be better and assembly tools should be included!

[@Kikdrumz]

I completed the full assembly of the hoop. The only thing I’m wondering is why the pole’s second screw from the bottom is just hanging freely and isn’t tight. Is there a meaning for this?

[@ajantasouth9207]

I have the same question!

[@HELLO_without_the_H]

Im setting this up for the little ones right now and thought I was the only person🤣🤣🤣 Especially after he said "this is irreversible" my face went😳🥴

[@thedoozlesfam2563]

Thanks man i needed this!

[@wenoa101]

Thank you this was very helpful

[@fe4rracing922]

Thank u so much this was helpful

[@stephencotter538]

Good video, lol but getting the rim attached with only one person is damn near impossible. Thank God for my wife!

[@EEZYEEEE]

The backboard on Our 90824 basketball hoop is starting to tilt/slant forward. How do we fix this?

[@jayceeel9522]

A couple things to fix on your video. The timestamps are not clickable in the description. Also at the 4:00 mark there is mention of a link in the description on how to fill the stand which is nowhere to be found. Here's how to fill the base: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpmufXZvmt-toLc

[@Boove07]

Did your box come with the wrong assembly instructions as well. Mine came with a forged horseshoe set 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@LifetimeProductsAssembly]

Detailed instructions are found in the assembly manual and can be downloaded from the manufacture’s website at lifetime.com under the model number. You can find manuals by scrolling all the way to the bottom of the web page and clicking on "Assembly Help". You can then search all products by model number and language.

[@rcolvinh]

These instructions are hilariously unhelpful. First of all, who named these pieces? Why not just “A” and “B” or “1” or “2”? Because ABW and AAT and AJM are hurting my brain. Then there is the “irreversible” step…Every commenter is complaining about Step 1.5 and the folks at Lifetime just can’t seem to explain what the hell is supposed to happen. Hint: a video where you read unclear instructions does not make the instructions more clear. Why are we putting a loose screw in the hole? Does it go into the slot?? What is “the hardware”??? Why are we banging the pole to “seed” the poles???? The reviews said the instructions are terrible. Trust the reviews. Do better, Lifetime.

[@LifetimeProductsAssembly]

Hi Rich, Thank you for your comment and your ideas on how we can improve the assembly process for this build. The reason we have you seat the poles together is so the poles do not separate while they are at use. The screw will go into the oblong slot. The slot is oblong to help easily identify the pole you need to use and how far you have to seat down so the system is at the correct height. We say that the screw can be loose due to that oblong slot. The screw, however, is still very essential to help the system stay together. I hope these answered your questions. If you need further explanation, feel free to reach out to our customer service team. They can be reached at 800-225-3865 or by email at [e-mail]. Customer Service hours are Monday-Friday, 7:00 am to 5:00 pm and Saturday, 9:00 am to 1:00 pm (MT).

[@KristinHenderson1981]

When did that other screw get put in? It just shows you screwing in the one with the knob and then screwing in the screw to the next poll, but there’s a piece of metal already in the second hole, by the ADS screw. And the directions I have doesn’t say to put in a 3rd screw.

[@KristinHenderson1981]

And I’m talking about the first step….then you move on to the irreversible step! I’m terrified to proceed because you have a screw, or something in, that I don’t & your directions, and the directions I have, don’t say to do! The hole above the screw, on mine, is empty! What am I supposed to put there? Another ADS screw???????? ….extremely frustrated and annoyed!

[@elissaseltzer]

My top and middle pole got stuck inside eachother. Is there a solution to get them apart?

[@LifetimeProductsAssembly]

You can try out this quick tip video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIixlaOmqs1qfJo. If you still have troubles, reach out to our customer service team. They can be reached by phone at [phone] or by email at [e-mail].

[@stephenhamilton9791]

I’ve got one pole stuck in another before I even try this. Is this stuck for good? What’s the irreversible part

[@jimmynickles804]

Your first step was to fast

[@ossiedavis4420]

It got stuck immediately at the middle pole part? What do I do

[@amberbrown8739]

What size bults are used to install the backboard

[@jayceeel9522]

Unless you bought it used and it was taken apart the bolts should be in the box in a blister pack. They are 6 small screws labeled as "ACV" Here's a video kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2SYmIZpjrGUfZY

[@duanetasha]

My poles don't have those straight line grooves nor a small screw

[@mollygosine6932]

Does regular basketballs fit?

[@shahee1354]

Yes the basketball hoop is able to fit basketballs of anysize

[@mollygosine6932]

@@shahee1354 Alright my height is 5'5 is this a good size basketball hoop for me to practice dunking, shooting, and dribbling?

[@shahee1354]

@@mollygosine6932 i would say no cause the basketball hoop is only adjustable to 7.5 ft and regular hoops are 9.5 ft and 10ft

[@drewbuntoo]

The middle pole needs to have the rounded edge exposed at the top. Why don’t you state that clearly?

[@j-dtheblackfarmer8659]

Step 2.9 is not that simple. Why wouldn’t a longer bolt work better here? The poles don’t align that perfectly. Unless you use some type of clamp, I don’t see a way of making this work. Advise?

[@cathynu7036]

How do we know if the slot is completely covered after we strike the pole? Thx.

[@LifetimeProductsAssembly]

If you can still see the slot from the bottom pole after the middle pole is seated completely on to it, it means that the poles are not seated all the way. If you're having trouble, I recommend contacting our customer service team. They can be reached at 800-225-3865 or by email at [e-mail]. Customer Service hours are Monday-Friday, 7:00 am to 5:00 pm and Saturday, 9:00 am to 1:00 pm (MT).

[@creeper8544]

Hi, will the top screw still spin when this step is done? Thanks

[@TUFAII]

Returning my kit as instructions are awful, which screws are to be used where ?. Customer service number is USA but what about international customers

[@LifetimeProductsAssembly]

Customer service also takes care of international customers. If you contact them they will still be able to help with assembly or with missing parts.

[@TUFAII]

Step 1.5 is “irreversible” 😂

[@bpetridis1]

I fast forwarded past that 🤦‍♂️

[@kristofthibaud8491]

how do you fill it with water or sand?

[@LifetimeProductsAssembly]

Here's our KZbin video that will show you how to do that specific step. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4O0paSLaKyjhNk. Please make sure you refer to your manual for the amount of water or sand you will need.

[@omegattv2424]

Can anyone tell me the max height for thos

[@brackyshark6841]

4:14 my screws wont fit

[@sargree]

Why does the box say no tools required????

[@LifetimeProductsAssembly]

This is a great question! "No Tools Required" is referring to the adjustment mechanism and how you don't need tools to adjust the height, but you do need tools for the actual build. There definitely can be some work to make this more clear. We'll be working on this. Thank you!

[@osmanisik5634]

Is it adjustable?

[@LifetimeProductsAssembly]

Yes! All of our basketball systems are adjustable.

[@pj-qo7hf]

do i really need to get all those tools or can i just use a regular screwdriver

[@LifetimeProductsAssembly]

To assure that the system is properly secured we do recommend using the hardware we've mentioned.

[@morphorod]

Step 1.5 is still not clear because that first screw is still loose

[@LifetimeProductsAssembly]

It is normal for the screw freely. This will not effect the system security.

[@wingsofwalnuts]

Really struggling at the first step, seems like I’m not the only one! 🤦‍♂️

[@tinahill1908]

Need additional parts how can I get them

[@LifetimeProductsAssembly]

All parts can be ordered through customer service. They can be reached at 800-225-3865 or by email at [e-mail]. Customer Service hours are Monday-Friday, 7:00 am to 5:00 pm and Saturday, 9:00 am to 1:00 pm (MT).

[@juicycuter]

Terrible to setup! Nightmare to put the rim and backboard on the pole. Notice in the video when he’s doing it, he has another person holding it for him.

[@owengee9245]

How do you get the ring to adjust in height. I've taken out the screw at the back but it won't got down. I'm sure it was meant to adjust to 80cm in height??

[@LifetimeProductsAssembly]

The lowest increment that the system goes to is 5.5ft (167.64 cm) and the highest is 7.5ft (228.6 cm).

[@richajain8118]

This video is so complex.

[@acm8654]

Do you sell those rims separately? Its a different mounting point than other hoops

[@LifetimeProductsAssembly]

Yes we do. You can purchase them through customer service. Just keep in mind our rims are only compatible with Lifetime system.

[@acm8654]

Thx

[@bpetridis1]

Geez mate, slow down a touch.

[@abdullahbabar5529]

Stupid. Lifetime sent us one that already had the "irreversible step" done. I wonder if they're trying to steal a profit by reselling returned hoops.

[@LifetimeProductsAssembly]

That should not be the case. Please reach out to our customer service team so we can see what is going on. They can be reached at 800-225-3865 or by email at [e-mail]. Customer Service hours are Monday-Friday, 7:00 am to 5:00 pm and Saturday, 9:00 am to 1:00 pm (MT).

[@Cesard.verdugak]

Although this video did ultimately helped. I have to say the video needs work. But the app and the instructions are so much worst.

[@LifetimeProductsAssembly]

We do have an updated video and here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWavg2OcaN2LarM. The main difference between these videos will be how the backboard is attached. Other than that, the assembly is the same.

[@ChickenAmericanCheesePickle]

remake this with the part numbers on screen. this is very out dated
