I bought a ‘Lifetime 90061 Portable Basketball System’ from Amazon last month. It should cost you now around 370 dollars. I want to share some pros and cons about it. There is a 52" steel framed shatterproof backboard which is developed of High-Density Polyethylene for prevalent quality and strength. It features an adjustment mechanism through which you can easily adjust the height of the backboard from 7.5 feet to 10 feet.

So, the children (aged above 9) as well as the adult can play with this basketball system. The box says the materials are high quality, so it is rust-resistant in all weather; the net is fit for sun, rain, and winter.

You can also search for another outdoor portable basketball hoop, but for me, it is the best outdoor basketball system as it comes with high-quality materials, and the graphics of the pole will last for a long time. And the whole system is made with water and dust resistant materials so it won't damage any poor weather. And also, it comes within the budget. You can also purchase a cheaper portable outdoor basketball system, but they may not serve you for a long time because the material is less durable in the cheap or low priced basketball hoop. So if you want a basketball system which will serve you for a long time and also comes within the budget, then you can choose the 'Lifetime 90061 Portable Basketball System'.

That is the reason I guess this is the best portable basketball hoop for playing outdoors. You just need to fill the basement of the system with 35-gallon water and sand. It will give the basketball system a high stand. Gave me a 5-year warranty card with it. I don’t know how long it will last for you. Because I always play with this thing in outdoors. And it has been only two months but so far so good. I bought it with free shipping. This basketball hoop looks quite simple but what I see it better to active than to look good.

After analyzing a lot I found another perfect portable basketball system, and that will also go with the budget. The 'Spalding Hercules Portable Basketball Hoop' is working right. Cost me 326 dollars.

This portable basketball system has 52" x 32" x 3.5mm acrylic backboard with 1" x 1" steel edge and 16" counterbalance intended for strength in a competitive level of play. And the exacta-lift framework gives simple stature changes from 7.5-ft to 10-ft in 6-in additions. The vertical steel pole is 3.5’’ thick and comes in 3 pieces for an easy installation. I needed to fill 39 or 40-gallon water into the base section. You can even use sand into it. It will provide a much better standing position for the pole. When I went on Amazon, there was two option for base color. Black and green.

For me the green one looks more stylish than the black. The green one will give you a feel of playing on a ground. And of course, I needed free shipping. One-third of my salary was into buying the portable basketball system, but now I realize it is worth the money. 

Both the portable basketball system is best so you can choose one of them and it will be worth the money. Though you will find many other portable basketball systems at a low price, they will not be perfect for longtime use. Besides, these two basketball systems have a fantastic feature of adjusting the hoop height. So all the people (aged above 9 or 10) can play with this basketball system. And most of the low-priced portable basketball system doesn’t offer this feature (adjusting the height).

If you do so, you can able to purchase a good one.
