Rank #9 in Best Basketball Hoop and Stand 2026: 10 Ranked, Heights Checked
vcloo 5ft-7ft Basketball Hoop and Stand, LM018
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The vcloo LM018 is a freestanding basketball hoop with a 33in shatterproof backboard, a steel main mast, front wheels for moving it about, and a base you fill with water or sand. It takes ninth place in this guide at £66.99, with a 4.7 average from 36 ratings and a best sellers rank of 20th in Basketball Portable Boards.
It is the cheapest of three listings here that carry the same model number, LM018, the same 5ft-7ft range and the same 10.5kg — the other two are £69.99. On those listings the extra £3 buys a ball and a pump, not a stronger frame. This listing's own figures also disagree with each other: one bullet promises 5ft to 7ft and the next states 'Adjustable Height: 1.5m-2.1m', the spec sheet gives 155cm minimum and 210cm maximum, and the item dimensions row reads 16D x 59W x 86H cm — an 86cm height on a hoop the same page says reaches 2.1m. Everything below comes from the Amazon listing, not from any testing of our own.

Questions people ask
How tall does the vcloo LM018 go?
The bullets say 5ft to 7ft across five levels, while the spec sheet lists a minimum of 155cm and a maximum of 210cm. The two sets of figures do not match exactly.
What does the £66.99 price include?
As listed, the included components are screws. No ball and no pump appear in this vcloo LM018 listing, which is what separates it from the two £69.99 listings of the same model.
Can the vcloo LM018 be used indoors?
The product name and one bullet say indoor and outdoor use, but the spec sheet's indoor/outdoor field reads 'Outdoor' only. Front wheels are listed for moving it between the two.
How stable is the base?
The listing describes an enlarged base of 45 x 76cm that can be filled with 35kg of water or 55kg of sand. The whole item is listed at 10.5kg before filling.
What is the item height on the listing?
Item dimensions are given as 16D x 59W x 86H cm, which sits awkwardly against the same listing's claim that the hoop reaches 2.1m.
What do buyers say about it?
It holds 4.7 out of 5 from 36 ratings. The reviews on the page mention easy assembly with the supplied tools and filling the base with water or sand.
