A basketball hoop is a simple way to turn a patch of concrete into a recreational space. To make it even easier, opt for a portable (read: not stuck into a hole in the ground) version that can simply be rolled into place. For the easiest possible shortcut to driveway hoops stardom, snag this well-reviewed moveable hoop at Walmart that’s half off for a limited time.
The Seray Portable Adjustable Basketball Hoop is normally $400, but it’s currently on sale for $200. Over half of its ratings are of the five-star variety, with shoppers saying it’s “easy to put together” and “perfect” for kids (and the young at heart). It comes in three colors, two of which are still in stock and on sale.

The base of this basketball hoop is made of a durable polyethylene and can be wheeled around thanks to the two wheels on the front and weighed down with sand or water to add stability. A triangular support reinforces the pole, which can adjust in height from 4.8 to 10 feet, with adjustments within those ranges made with one-button control. The backboard is made of windproof polycarbonate, the net an all-weather mesh, and the regulation-sized rim 16-mm-thick Q195 steel. It’s a well-built, easily adjusted hoop that’s suitable for casual and serious players alike.
Reading the reviews, it’s clear that kids love this thing. “It’s perfect for my 7-year-old grandson,” wrote one customer, who also called this hoop “excellent!” Another shared that they “purchased this for the neighborhood children. Boy, do they love it.” The only feature the latter mentioned by name is the adjustability, which makes sense given the likely wide age (and height) range of the kids who are playing on this hoop.

One customer wrote that this hoop was “a lot to put together but worth it.” Another wrote that it was “easy to put together.” Your experience likely depends on your level of skill with nuts and bolts, but it’s good to know that the final result will be great no matter how good you are at following assembly instructions.
As alluded to above, the orange version of the Seray basketball hoop is no longer in stock. The others are, but a discount this deep could change that in a hurry. And speaking of a hurry, we’d recommend you pick one of these up ASAP. Whether it’s for your kids or to practice in advance of weekend pickup games, you won’t be sorry you purchased this hoop.
