will it work with a lifetime brand backboard? my pole is only 8 feet. will it extend up to acheive regulation height of 10 feet?

Yes to the backboard...the brackets are easily manipulated to hit whatever mounting points it has. Probably on the height. My garage roof is 9ft at the base of the mount and it will extend higher than 10 ft by several inches. It would be close.

I don't think the brand of backboard matters. The deal with the height however depends on the roof and what height it is. I wanted an 8 foot goal for my kids but we can't lower it enough. Kind of odd.

This is absolutely NOT compatible with any Lifetime board. No exceptions. I've been selling and servicing these for 13 years. If you buy this don't buy it with a Lifetime backboard.

Not sure if it will fit lifetime backboard, and and I think the mounting height is 106 inches

By itself, I think the pole only goes to 9feet, but with the extender it will go to 10. Go to the Superpole site and I think you will find the specs.

I'm not sure. I have this rack for my daughters 6' board and it works great...I have no experience with this rack and long boards.

I hung mine flush mount and it extends 18" down and an additional 10" for the longer chain. Use a yard stick and see how that distance will work for you. Mine is over my kitchen table. I hope this helps.

It is an adjustable tension pole. Mine does not go all the way to the floor and is mounted at 6ft,7in as it sits on the top ledge and is 62inches (5ft,2in) on the main pole, the top extension piece on mine goes up about 17 inches above that which can go higher or lower although since mine is assembled in place I could not say exactly how much higher it would go. I also do not know if you could push it all the way down, because of the tension spring.

You will just have to buy the pole that is 20 feet long to handle the width. The device works great.

I do not think so. I have found the longer regular pole gets, the less stability it has as it is. So, adding another extension would even make it more difficult to manage.

I replaced my Lifetime cracked backboard with this Lifetime 44 inch backboard. There were some differences, however, it did fit. Keep some of your old fittings, and you'll figure it out.

10 inches will do. Measured from top of bracket to to bottom of mount and it is about 8".

If your pole is a 3.5" round or 4" square, you can get a life time bracket to fit your pole. I just went through all that with my existing pole. My pole was 4.5" and the clamps that came with only fit a 3.5 in pole...so we had to find bigger clamps which once we did it all worked perfectly. Good luck.

I don't know. We tightened it on a crib backboard which is farely broad, about 4.5 inches wide, with adjustable belts. So I guess it can fit on even wider positions.

I can't give you a 100% guarantee that it will reach 9 ft because I have it installed in a bedroom with an 8 foot ceiling, but my installation didn't use the bigger of the 2 attachments. I can't speak from experience, but I can DEFINITELY imagine the pole reaching 9 foot without any concerns. (There is also an insert that offers the purchase of other extenders for higher ceilings) I have used the pole in both static and revolving mode, and I would absolutely recommend it. There is NO wiggle (which is what I was concerned about)

Their website says: "Pole extends from 5-feet to 9-feet to accommodate most showers, tubs or bathroom corners"...If you have exactly 9', you may need to visit a box store handling plumbing to see if they can provide you a 6"-12" ext. The caddy pole itself is 7/8" I believe so that may help with customer service. Sorry, that's the best I got...

My board is 9 foot 6 so it is not hard for that size. However, be sure that the nuts and bolts are very secure before trying it out. I had to use a mini hacksaw to cut some of the length of the bolt so that I could use a torque wrench to ensure tightness.

Too bad no one can answer Ken's question.After a decade of service, my family & I and the local weather just managed to break a Lifetime backboard & hoop connected to a pole and base designed to stand up on or near a driveway. The pole is fine, and years ago I spent hours filling the base with sand to withstand the local winds and basketball fans, which it still does most of the time.Too bad I can't buy a replacement backboard and hoop guaranteed to fit my existing base and pole... especially since it is all... gasp... apparently Made in America!

I used 6" boards for my planter. I'm not sure it would work well with any larger board. Ideally you want the top of the Frame It All at the top of your board, so you can you can use the Frame It All stacking corners to make your planter taller. If you aligned the anchor with the top of an 8" or 10" board, you would not have sufficient depth for your anchor. Keep in mind that these anchors are plastic, so you cannot be banging them into the ground without a "pilot hole." Once there in the ground and stationary, they work great. I haven't had any issues with them except during installation. I used 6" boards for my planter. I'm not sure it would work well with any larger board.

It should work with just about any pole up to 2.5 inches. Even though the channel is only about 1.3 wide, you can expand the two sections of the barrels and clamp them around the pole.
