## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you have to use a Lifetime basketball hoop pole to use this sleeve or can I use any 3.5 pole system?**
A: You can use any 3.5" pole. My friend had broken basketbook hoop which comes with plastic base. He gave me for free and I have used it with this sleeve. Only issue with my system that its 1 ft short and it has .5 gape at sleep, which I covered with duct tape. This setup is in use from year and half without issues.

**Q: Im attemting to discard a portable base and install the pole to a ground mount. But it appears ill lose height in doing so any recomnendations.**
A: You may need to purchase additional hardware in order to make it work.  Give our basketball team a call to make sure you get compatible parts for your system.

**Q: So if I'm pouring a cement pad for basketball hoop. Would I put this in cement and then the hoop stand fits in this?**
A: You can find detailed installation instructions and tips by downloading the assembly manual from Lifetime.com under the model number 0023.

    Don’t worry about the wobble you’ve seen in some reviews.
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2022*

Assembly went fine. Did 90% of it myself but needed help getting it in the base at the end. Definitely not “easy” to assemble by yourself though, a lot of balancing.Works great, my 7yo and I have had a lot of fun. Only thing I ran into was the location, the afternoon sun reflects off the backboard really strong so it’s blinding certain times of day, but that’s my own fault I guess.Great value!

    Quality sleeve
  

*by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2021*

The sleeve fit the three and on half pole perfectly and was easy to install by using provided instructions. Great sleeve if you need to remove basketball pole for any reason as it requires little effort other than the weight of the system itself.Great buy and quality

    Gives a removable option for your hoops pole
  

*by F***P on Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2021*

If you ever want to change out the cheaper model for a more expensive one, then this will be a must have, or if you have the expensive model and want to take it with you, tadah! Or if you just want to remove it out of the way temporarily, yep, you need this! The Lifetime poles all fit right into this. Put it in the ground first when you poor your concrete, do it carefully so no concrete gets inside of the inner part and you use one pole insert to set it straight with a level and you set a brick or rock under it as a base to the correct height. There is a set screw to keep the pole from turning. I even put 2 inches of dirt over the concrete and planted grass. Can't tell its down there. I did caulk the slot all the way around so water would not run down the inside. But if I ever want to move it, take it, upgrade it, or just get rid if the hoop, I can so easily now.
