Lifetime Product, I have a problem with this hoop, after more than 3 weeks after assembling, when I finally brought the hoop to 10 feet, it looked shorter and when I measured it, it showed 9.5 feet instead of 10. What can I do to fix this.
I thought the comments were overreacting, I originally planned on coming to the comments to defend Lifetime. Then I got to the last series of steps and realized I installed the pole backwards. Had to unattach the base and backboard, turn the pole, and reattach. 😂 Took about five hours to assemble, using both the printed instructions and this helpful video.
Very good video. It was a big help. One question: I believe I installed everything correctly, including being careful to tighten screws and nuts correctly, so is it normal for there to a big fairly large wobble on the system when shots are being made. The backboard and pole seem solid, but the wobble appears to be from where the pole and the base are connected. Thank you for the guidance.
If you look on the side of the video, you'll see a list of the parts you need and which hardware bag it can be found. The pictures on our manuals are also designed to be the same size of the actual parts to help you see what part you need.
Hello, i just bought one of these hoops(model 90271) and when i try to bend my backboard bracket it doesn't bend. Yet i haven't assembled it with the springs. Does anyone know whether it's something wrong with the item or just that it has to be assembled with the spring.

It could be because the T-nuts are not tightened all the way and have become more loose. You will need to take the backboard apart and tighten the T-nuts.

You guys probably tolerances the hole for the shoulder bolt for step 4.1 before powder coating. I’m measuring a 12.53mm shoulder diameter and just under 12.50 to 12.52mm hole with calipers. This needs to get fixed.
And actually now measuring at where the chamfer is for the lead-in from the bolt’s threads, it is 12.56mm. This is actually impossible to force through without a mechanical press or turning down the bolt. Can you send everyone who has this issue replacement bolts with tighter tolerances?
Please have your engineering team renegotiate the bolts threads... they are all very hard to turn... i even broke one of the screws... unreal... i spent 2 hrs sweating trying to put this together for my 7yr old bday, and now I have to return it to the store. And I thought I was buying a high end product. Terrible!

Yea same problem
My rim doesn’t go to 10 feet, it only goes 9’4 and I can’t figure what I did wrong.
You need five different wrench sizes?????
Step 1.4 the bolts won’t go all the way on. 😩
Same
omg same basketball gods are mad at us
Yes this will happen but you should drill a bigger hole it worked for us perfectly
Step 2.3
I can’t get the hardware to catch. I’ve been trying for an hour. Help!
So helpful
i followed the instructions but i don’t have a large axel from it

Hi I have a question, between the model 90812 and the 90585 which one is rougher ?
What do you mean by "rougher"?
@@LifetimeProductsAssembly can the model 90585 be left in the rain ?
Why is the rim still slightly tilted upwards??

You shouldn't need a replacement bolt. Just try using the bolt to ream out the excess powder coating in the hole.
