    Portable
Basketball Goals
Now while Little Tikes Basketball Hoops
may be fine for young children, when you get up to the
teens, 20’s and so on, you’re going to want to get a hold of
some portable basketball goals to use outside on your
driveway. These are basically set down in place with a
base filled with sand and extend upwards through a
telescoping pole.
There are many different types of portable
basketball goals available for purchase, so what we’re going
to do is go over a few of the better rated ones so that you
can make a purchase decision that you’re happy
with:
1. Lifetime 1225 Pro Court
Height-Adjustable Portable Basketball
System
Lifetime is a trusted brand name when it
comes to the creation of portable basketball goals, pretty
much anything they make is going to be of good
quality. This model in particular though which can be
found at Amazon for $152.99 is particularly good.
It’s got a portable base on wheels which
lets you easily shift the net around, it has a durable
backboard made to withstand aggressive play, a 27 gallon
base that can be filled with water or sand, a telescoping
pole to provide height adjustment as well as a 5 year
limited warranty.
This is a good value for the money, it’s
sturdy and easy to put together. It’s really easy to
fill up the base of the unit with a hose and the wheels on
the bottom make it easy to maneuver into place.
As far as the downsides, the backboard is a bit small and the
base takes up quite a bit of space, it’s the trade off you have
to make when going for portable basketball goals.
If you need an economic hoop for a
beginner basketball player this is what you should go
with.
2. Spalding The Beast 74560
Portable Basketball Hoop w/60” Glass
Backboard
This one is quite a jump price-wise at
$998, however it is rated 5/5 stars on Amazon by all who
rated it, it is one of the highest quality nets out of all
the portable basketball goals.
This adjusts from 7.5 feet to 10 feet, has
a wide 60” rectangular glass backboard, a 50 gallon capacity
base that can take sand or water and an all weather white
net.
The only thing about this is that it’s
likely to take you longer to setup. So rather than say
2 hours for the set mentioned prior, this is likely to take
you 3.5 hours. The instructions are clear though which
is a plus. Make sure you check your equipment for
damage though before you put it together.
Any true basketball player will appreciate
the tempered glass backboard this sports, it offers true
bank that you get off of a real basketball court.
