I followed your instructions step by step and had no issues setting this up. If I had followed the paper manual I would have quit and returned this system. Thank you for this tutorial.
It took me a single mom 4 hours to complete step one and two! The bolts yes are short!!! And i used an impact! I should have read all these comments before purchasing...
This video helps a lot. No way with only the manual. But, man, this the hardest and weirdest thing I've ever assembled. Connecting the pole to the base is the worst part, it's a nightmare, because, I don't no why and for no good reason, for the two connections they choose 2 kinds of screew completeley different from all the others, and the hardest to use, in the more difficult (and dangerous) step of the assembly.
Every lil edit cut you see is where they spent 10 mins beating bolts into place while 2 other adults help pull twist and beat as well. This crap was hard to put toggether and these instructions are not very clear. Single bolt at minute Mark 9:37 is one of the hardest bolt installations I've ever done in cars, pool equipment, anything! Its dirt cheap so I guess that helps

For anyone who still struggles with this thing on step 3.5 when you have to but the bolt through the pole and out the other side through the brackets if you keep an Allen key in the screw you will be able to see it on the other side to put the end piece of the screw on and move it around if need be it made it so much easier for me to finish it
Hey everybody ! I’m French and I bought this product for my son. BUT ! I have a problem with the 3.5 ! The screw is top short and/or BTS is too big to put on the hole. Whats your solution please ?!
@@julienkerboua5463 Make sure the bolts in step 3.3 are not tightened but really loose. This will allow you in step 3.5 to adjust and attach the braces flush around the pole. Once the braces are flush the bolt in 3.5 attaches easily.
Yes. The weight of the water or sand is what helps stabilize the basketball hoop. The system is expected to have a little play but not enough that it will affect the performance of the basketball hoop.
If anyone is stuck on 3.4, I tried inserting AOS from the other side and it was too short. Not sure why, but pay attention to that detail. You only get a MM or 2 for AAY
Trash. My wife and I almost got a divorce putting this thing together. Never again. I also had to use my own bolts to finish it and my own tools. What it comes with is stupid. Even with my really good tools this was 5 hours of life I’ll never get back. Terrible job LIFETIME

I want to increase the height of it as I put it down to around 7 foot but it’s soo hard to lift the pole up and at the same time put the screw through is there a way I can tilt the basketball hoop and perform this or will it affect the hoops bottom
same question. the whole board is heavy. tried doing it by laying down the whole thing with the help of 2 people. but now I have filled the base with water so I dont know how else im going to do it lol.
I did it in about 3 hours. They do a great job at labeling and everything. There were 2 struggles one my fault the other is an opportunity for better design. I had to undo stuff a few times because I got mixed up with orientation so be careful with that. The opportunity is the bolt for the upper pole to base supports. To make easier don't tighten the other end snug until you get the part connecting to the pole.
did it in 5hrs. lol. Thanks for this. I struggled on 3.3 and 3.4. got lucky with 3.5. my question is, do you need to lay the whole thing down to adjust the height? especially already have water? tnx to any1 who wil answer.

It’s Christmas morning and I was foolish enough to think that I could put this thing together for my son right after he opened it. I wish I had seen all of these negative reviews before purchasing this. Not everyone has a garage full of tools and the skills to put this thing together. No one should be stuck assembling this thing for hours on end or have to call customer service to figure out the directions. It’s for kids; this should be much easier to assemble. I’m a single mom and am so frustrated and disappointed with this letdown of a gift. I hope I can find my receipt and return it.
The rim doesn’t fit the backboard; the rim brackets are way too narrow. The pin holding the pole for the “irreversible” step came out before I even got far enough along to do that. What a mess.

And THE GRAN FINALE: to attach the upper pole braces, Lifetime decided that would be a good idea choose not a normal screw, but a "special" one. That screw is short and it doesn't reach the opposite hole. To attach it, you have to use a long screw nut whose thread part goes through the hole and completely enters the pole. So... you have to make the screw and the screw nut "meet" themselves inside the pole! An insignificant detail: because the pole er... is not transparent, you can't see anything. Besides that, both braces press down, pressing down the screw and the screw nut. It is in that scenario that you have to make them meet... Basically, it's a lottery. Since yesterday, I failed miserably several times trying to do it. An unnecessary nightmare. Tomorrow I will try to find a normal screw to use in place of that demonic hardware provided by Lifetime.
Buy a different screw. The same day I wrote the message above, I tried one more time and finally got to attach the screw and the nut, but it took me almost two hours and much suffering. And it was totally lotteric...
I REPEAT DO NOT DO NOT BUY THIS HOOP! IT IS THE MOST FRUSTRATING THING TO PUT TOGETHER! SAVE YOUR MONEY AND BUY ONE THAT IS WELL THOUGHT OUT AND WON'T DRIVE YOU NUTS PUTTING TOGETHER!

You can remove poles if they get stuck! In a grassy area lift it up and throw it down horizontal and after a couple throws the poles will come apart. There is troubleshooting on it if you Google it.
It is 5 am and I'm in tears. I spent several hours yesterday trying to assemble this basketball hoop system for my kids. I had to go and buy other tools smh but I got it together until!!!!! I got to the base and putting the screw through the feet. It just does not come through the left foot far enough to put through the right foot and put the bolt on.

On the right side of the screen you will see the hardware needed for the section and the diagram of what it looks like. You can also match up the hardware to the manual as the picture of the manual is the same size of the actual bolt.
Didn't touch the manual at all. Just follow this video step by step, set aside 2.5 to 3 hours, have at least 2 adults working, have the power tools, and you'll be all set!
Les ingénieurs qui ont conçu les plans et imaginé la visserie pour l'assemblage de ce panier de basket devraient consulter des psychiatres. Je comprends maintenant la mail de précision reçu suite a l'achat. Non, votre visserie n'est pas du tout adaptée, et la notice est réalisée à minima. C'est fouilli, ca ne vaut vraiment pas plus que 110€ effectivement.
Wenn man von dieser Firma Produkte in Deutschland erwerben kann, erwarte ich auch ein verständliches deutsches Video!!! Das Video sollte von einem deutschen erstellt werden, da die Amerikaner viel zu kompliziert erklären, zumindest hier. Die mitgelieferte Papierform ist gar nicht verständlich!
Step 2.7 - very difficult to add the bolts in such a small space. Step 3.4 - very difficult to tighten bolts as can't get spanner into support while turning. Step 3.5 extremely difficult to get both parts to meet to attach and the tighten. Why have a short screw like that? Such a bad design. Video gives the impression it's easy, It's not! Also video gives the impression that bolts are all fully tightened, you need to leave loose to align eveything up and then tighten. Should also not assume eveyone has the tools you have used in this video. Took over 5 hours to put together.
This is the hardest assembly ever. The video helps but it does not decrease the difficulty

Wow..I must've got the easy one..went together fairly straightforward
What do we do with 3.5? The DXZ screw doesn’t go all the way through the holes and main pole
It is normal for the bolt not to go all the way through. The nut will reach the bolt on the inside of the pole.

Once the braces are flush the bolt in 3.5 attaches easily.

How did the base magically flip over at 7:52? This is where I'm currently stuck.
Hold the braces in place as you flip the base around.

How do we do 3.5 like the -DXZ won’t go in all the way
I have the same issue
@MrSmash85 you just gon have to try your best with this one it eventually worked for me just took a long ass time 😂
The base was mad wobbly when I finished but it was before filling the base. Is a wobbly base normal before filling

You can remove poles if they get stuck! In a grassy area lift it up and throw it down horizontal and after a couple throws the poles will come apart. There is troubleshooting on it if you Google it.
Just finshed put togheter max1h is not so bad,only one think need to dreel
It is 5 am and I'm in tears. I spent several hours yesterday trying to assemble this basketball hoop system for my kids. I had to go and buy other tools smh but I got it together until!!!!! I got to the base and putting the screw through the feet. It just does not come through the left foot far enough to put through the right foot and put the bolt on. My kids are so disappointed and so am I! A huge waste of time and money.
I'm sorry you're having trouble with the feet assembly on this system. Give our customer service team a call and they can walk you through the steps on the base assembly and can help figure out what's happening. They can be reached at 800-225-3865 or by email at customercare@lifetime.com. Customer Service hours are Monday-Friday, 7:00 am to 5:00 pm and Saturday, 9:00 am to 1:00 pm (MT).
I called your customer service and the man was of absolutely NO help! NONE!!!! He said I need a socket wrench, I bought a whole set but the screw has to come through the foot so I can fasten the bolt.
He then said that was all he could tell me other than maybe I was using the wrong screw WHICH I'M NOT.
We are sorry our customer services team couldn't help you with your issue. Please email us your number to installationservices@lifetime.com and we will contact you.
Can i ask is this a bit shakky than the straight foot one ?
Going to return, impossible to assemble. Will take 3 hours if you don’t quit or hurt your left before then. Not worth the time regardless of price.
What part of the assembly are you having troubles in? We'd love to help you and give you tips and tricks on how to have an easier assembly.
You have to be at least a little handy to do this
Looks same sa Kmart"s 🤔
You should show the actual bolts that are being used. Mines aren’t marked and I’m having to guess
On the right side of the screen you will see the hardware needed for the section and the diagram of what it looks like. You can also match up the hardware to the manual as the picture of the manual is the same size of the actual bolt.
@@LifetimeProductsAssembly what I purchased is actually different. It’s the 1221 model
Didn't touch the manual at all. Just follow this video step by step, set aside 2.5 to 3 hours, have at least 2 adults working, have the power tools, and you'll be all set!
How irreversible is the irreversible bit - pole is upside down?? 😡
Spare a though for all the fathers on Xmas morning
Les ingénieurs qui ont conçu les plans et imaginé la visserie pour l'assemblage de ce panier de basket devraient consulter des psychiatres.
Je comprends maintenant la mail de précision reçu suite a l'achat.
Non, votre visserie n'est pas du tout adaptée, et la notice est réalisée à minima.
C'est fouilli, ca ne vaut vraiment pas plus que 110€ effectivement.
This is the worst install ! Step 3.5 bolts don’t fit all the way thru!!!
How do I assemble this I have model90999
90999 is a kayak model and does not require assembly. Do you have a basketball model number possibly?
This sucks!!!! I got it put together but never again
So hard to do this togueter garbage
Wenn man von dieser Firma Produkte in Deutschland erwerben kann, erwarte ich auch ein verständliches deutsches Video!!! Das Video sollte von einem deutschen erstellt werden, da die Amerikaner viel zu kompliziert erklären, zumindest hier. Die mitgelieferte Papierform ist gar nicht verständlich!
Avoid this product, very difficult to assemble. Don't tighten bolts as will lead to miss alignment
What were you having troubles with specifically? We'd love to know what we can improve on.
Step 2.7 - very difficult to add the bolts in such a small space.
Step 3.4 - very difficult to tighten bolts as can't get spanner into support while turning.
Step 3.5 extremely difficult to get both parts to meet to attach and the tighten. Why have a short screw like that? Such a bad design.
Video gives the impression it's easy, It's not! Also video gives the impression that bolts are all fully tightened, you need to leave loose to align eveything up and then tighten.
Should also not assume eveyone has the tools you have used in this video.
Took over 5 hours to put together.
Never make instructions again, the video does show anything the right way and the screws don’t fit
👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿🫵
It took me 5hours to built it up, aint worth the money
This is why you pay me to assemble it for you😂😁😁😁😁
