"lifetime" is a lie. Rust will kill it in a few years
Frustrating to put together because the instructions are in black & white and what you think is the green bar is actually the tan bar. Also, the joints will rust after 1 year.
UPDATE
I contacted manufacturer "LIFETIME" to ask for a replacement bar shown in the photo. I've had this for less than 3 years and said I expected that it were to last a bit longer since the name of their company is "LIFETIME". Here is the response.
Our warranty information is explained in the manual. It also states our warranty does not cover acts of nature. Lifetime has been our name for over 25 years. It started with a our hoops that you could adjust in height. As your child grew you could adjust the height to their playing level. Meaning a hoop that could be used over a Lifetime. Our name is not intended to deceive our customer's in any way.
We will work with you this time, but all parts in the future will have to be purchased.
