No it will not. Not suitable for pole. You can attach it but does not stay. Try spending a little more for real glass. Expensive but worth it. 2 yes going strong. And i dunk!!!

Sherri did you end up ordering this backboard and if so did it work? I am looking for the same replacement part for the same system you have.

IDK my pole is 20 years old and the plate is the size of the inner white box. I re-drilled the holes for the backboard and made brackets for the center two braces you see in the illustration and it worked great. Its a great backboard and rim for kids, but would be scared if people dunked on it and tried to hang on the rim.

I would imagine the manufacturer only could help with the rim replacement as its base that bolts to the backboard is custom size. I purchased 2 of these in June. Both are as purchased. Well used and not abused. Its a pool toy and as such we do not allow hanging on rim or net and NO slam dunks! I see getting a good 5 plus years maybe more if treated for what it is. A pool toy. Net standard. Any sports store.

I don't know what model I have but I am fairly certain that it can replace any Lifetime backboard. It is really nice!

You can get this mount: Spalding 8406SR Universal Mounting Bracket. Which says this in the write-up "Adapts backboards to 3.5-inch round poles, roof or wall; holds backboard at fixed height; 10-inch of offset from pole/wall;" The comments on that item support the claims of wall mounting. Good Luck!

I would call the S.R. Smith customer service number which you can get via google and speak to someone about the differences. Also, you need to make sure that your existing base has the correct holes which need to be measured. We bought a replacement and went with the less expensive option because it has MUCH more flex and are very happy with it. We do run a risk of it cracking more easily, but no problems yet, and a really stiff board just isn't fun so we are happy we switched.

It's been a few years since I installed mine. I think I just had to drill new holes in the wood posts for the headboard to make it fit with the frame I had. It shouldn't take much more than that. You may have the same problem with any frame so I would try this first.

It comes with different hardware, but the most important thing is that you look at the picture. I don't remember everything that came. My old backboard's mounting bracket looked very similar to the pictured bracket. My old backboard had a Y shape behind the glass but had the rectangular section behind the rim. I used new hardware and parts of the old hardware to put the new backboard on. The rim section had all new hardware. Hope this helps.

I too needed a replacement pole. I went to the company's web site and found no way to order replacements. I also emailed them several months ago with no response. The best bet may be to try calling. My husband just got fed up and used pecs plumbing to repair the pole. Good luck.

Without seeing your particular one I don't know but we replaced ours and it wasn't a problem. It gives you all of the pieces that go on the top (the arms and poles to adjust it). So we basicallyTook our old back board off and the frame at the top and had a tall pole with holes open at the top and that was it. All the rest came in the box.

You better have a piece of board to replace it with. I found the whole thing pretty cheap but it serves what I wanted to use it for. Also you can't place anything with any weight on it on top because the plastic bars holding it together start to bend.

My answer is the same as Jon's (7-8-13). The bushing kit will make it work. If not buy another ball the correct size. Ed

We had the same problem. We just got a wooden board the same size as the seat and screwed it on. It worked find. I don't know where to buy a new on.

I never got to see if it fit or not. I ordered it and had to send it back twice because it came cracked two different times. Don't know if shipping was to blame or shippee. It appeared it would work. Same size and hook up's all in the same spots. Just different bolts and nuts to put it back in. Good luck

Not 100 percent sure. I got a lift system when I bought the backboard and rim. It mounted perfectly. Not sure if it is the same one you have picked.

I had the same problem last summer. The rim broke after 1 year. I couldn't find a replacement one anywhere on line. I ended up just using a rim from an old backboard that the kids never used. My husband had to drill some new holes in the cool jam backboard for the rim to fit but it was a quick and easy job. The new rim is much stronger than the original one and is holding up much better when the kids hang on it.

The blue pole (containing the backboard) should slide up and down inside the black base pole. There is a tab on the black pole that if slightly pulled back will fit into slots on the blue pole. You lock it by releasing the tab once you are at the desired height. Hope this makes sense.
