🔧 Lifetime 1044 Quick Adjustable Conversion Kit Review

Very difficult to assemble, confusing instructions, very poorly illustrated. Due to the lack of detailed drawings, you cannot be sure which screw goes in which hole. And the instructions aren't step-by-step as they make you do a set of builds and then move on a few pages to do another build. It also requires other mounting hardware for its own back panel, so there's no point in not including it all in one package. I do not recommend buying this product. You have to hire a craftsman to assemble…

We only worked on the build for a few hours and when we were almost done we realized that one of the last parts (FKE part) was not machined properly. I called Lifetime, spoke to a real person, and they quickly took my address to ship a new part. The new part is ready in 4-6 weeks so we're just trying to drill holes ourselves to install this tire (we'll be in winter in 4-6 weeks!) but the customer service has been excellent. and we will use this part when we can't get self-drilling holes to…

I got this with Lifetime 73729 48 in Shatterproof Shield. I used 2x10 pressure treated scrap (made some sheathing at home) to install it in my brick garage and painted the wood black so it wouldn't be as noticeable when the kids were shooting. The rest of the hardware on it is black, so it goes well together. Easily adjust the height from 8ft (rules for my 5 year old) to 10ft (me and the boys). READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLATION, and when you think you figured it out, READ THEM AGAIN…

Well built, sturdy. Directions have changed but just follow your application. It jumps due to different types of attachment. Generally easy to assemble. You spend an hour. My personal application was a wall mount above my 10ft garage door in my shed. So I just cut a 2 x 12 x 14" block and installed it with (glue and 4.6" latch bolts) into the lintel frame above the top door. I trimmed the block with a vinyl J channel and then varnished the machined block 2x12. Black . I pre-drilled 4 holes in…

We installed it about a month ago. I had a Guardian gorilla with a 4 inch square bar. We wanted to make it adjustable since it was a fixed goal. We also bought Revain's recommended lifetime shield. The protective screen worked well as expected with the kit from the same manufacturer. The 4 inch square bar was quite a challenge as we tried different mounting methods. We installed an existing bracket from an old gate that worked but didn't have enough hand clearance to raise and lower it. We…

I bought two of these adjustable arms for my elementary school after doing a lot of research and I admit my mechanic did assembled most of it, but here's what I've found so far. Before I bought these, all of our hoops were fixed at 10 feet, so my K-2 graders found it impossible to practice shooting during basketball sessions. We removed the two shield mounts and replaced them with these adjustable mounts. They attach to the wall with 2x4 standoffs, but I'm not sure of the depth and size of the…
