Lifetime 71281 In Ground Power Lift Basketball System, 52 Inch Shatterproof Backboard

Q: This doesn't look very sturdy when I watch the video. Is there anything to make it more sturdy than what it shows?

I haven't had any problems with mine it's been great

Q: I see Amazon says I should also buy an in-ground sleeve. Does it not come with one? TIA

You would need to purchase one, it does not come with it.

Q: Did anybody use the sleeve for this but did NOT pour concrete into 1st pole section? (so, totally portable) How'd that work for you?

I used the sleeve and poured concrete for it, but did not add it into the bottom pole as shown in the instructions. It is still working fine after 6 months with no adverse effects. That way if the bottom poles start to rust, I can replace them. The only thing left in the ground is the sleeve. I ran across that issue in a previous house I owned. Unbeknownst to me, the prior owner had done that very thing. After living in that house for 20 years, the pole and backboard were worn out so I decided to take it down when we were trying to sell the house. I had to use a sawzall to cut it at the base and ruined a couple blades in the process. I wondered why the previous owner had put concrete in the bottom pole. After buying this for my grandsons, I now know why and I deliberately skipped that step as a result of my experience.

Q: I live in Florida. Any idea what kind of winds this can handle in case of a hurricane?

This basketball hoop is extremely sturdy and well engineered. If installed properly in the ground, it should be able to withstand very strong winds. The category of hurricane would make a difference, as well as the length of time you experience the sustained high wind speeds, and the wind direction in relation to the backboard orientation would also effect its ability to withstand those winds. It is possible to remove the backboard in the case of anticipated hurricane force winds, so to be safe, I would recommend that.
