## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it possible to move this hoop out of the driveway for winter, or it will be to heavy to wheel around?**
A: We used these hoops for our summer basketball camp.  There is a recommendation for 300-400 lbs. of sand to be put in the base, for stability.  We put 200 lbs. of sand in the base and then placed 150lbs. of sand bags on the top of the base.  This way the bags can be removed for relocating the basket, and one (at most two) people will be able to tilt and roll the unit to another location.  We actually loaded the units on to a trailer and moved them to our storage garage (about one block away).

**Q: Anyone done any serious research on portable hoops? Lifetime has so many models, any recommendations, confused.  $300 range.**
A: I did a lot of research and read numerous customer reviews on portable hoops before I decided to purchase Lifetime's Model #71566.  The main complaint I seemed to note in various reviews regarding the the 71566 was that there was missing hardware and like many other customers, my hoop was also did not have all of the hardware necessary for assembly.  However, I contacted customer service who were quite friendly and they promptly sent me the missing hardware I needed to complete assembly of the hoop.  Otherwise, I am extremely happy with the purchase and would recommend the product to others which is something I would not do if I were the least bit satisfied.  The 71566 was easy to assemble and is a quality item.  In addition, if you do a google search you can find the item on sale with many vendors and I believe I was able to purchase the hoop with free shipping for under $300.00.

**Q: How many gallons is the base?**
A: We filled it with approximately 40 gallons of water

**Q: is there vedio about how to assemble the lifetime 71566 ?**
A: It didn't come with an installation video when I received it but the instructions was easy enough to follow.  Make sure you have tools(hammer,wrenches/crescent wrench, screw driver, power drill) to put it all together with 1 more person.
