Description
Overview
Where the 44" model suits a tight driveway, the Lifetime B/ball System 48" gives you more board to bank shots off. It is still a recreational-grade portable system rather than a fixed court tower, with a water- or sand-filled base you can move when the area is needed for something else.
The acrylic backboard carries a sprung hoop and the whole assembly adjusts between 2.3 m and 3.05 m. A post pad ships in the box. As with all portable basketball systems of this size, it is freight-quoted to your address.
Key benefits
- Wider 48" acrylic backboard gives more rebound surface for bank shots and lay-ups.
- Lowers to 2.3 m for beginners and lifts to 3.05 m for full-height shooting.
- Sprung hoop flexes under hard finishes instead of bending a fixed ring.
- Included post pad protects players driving to the hoop.
- Base fills with water or sand, so it stands firm yet can be emptied and relocated.
Who it's for
Households with older children and teenagers who will use the full 3.05 m setting and appreciate the extra backboard width, and holiday parks, churches or after-school programmes that want a movable hoop on an existing hard surface. It is built for recreational play, so keep it to casual games and shooting practice.
Short on space or buying for younger children only? The Lifetime B/ball System 44" covers the same height range on a narrower board. For a permanent, heavy-duty installation, the GL Outdoor Senior Basketball Tower – 2.4m in our outdoor systems range is the school and club choice.
Sizing guide
The site hoop height guide sets 2.4 m for ages 1 to 4 years and 3.05 m (regulation) for 5 years and over. With adjustment from 2.3 m to 3.05 m, this system reaches both.
Care, safety and set-up
Weight the base fully with water or sand before anyone shoots on it, and fit the post pad. Empty the base if you need to move the system any distance.
