Texas splash, thx. i guess we could still use a smaller basketball in a large hoop. we don't have much walking room in that area, not that we plan on walking on that side of the pool, much. 16" coping only then plants. I had always assumed they will put the sleeve in the middle of the coping but now that i'm seeing where the coping is will be full of rebar, i wanted to know how much room we need between the retaining wall and coping to place a sleeve. they r supposed to put in a retainer wall today set back 8 inches behind coping. i that enough room for a basketball sleeve? and how much footing will i need? we were planning on growing some candellila all along that wall. seems like a sleeve might cause other issues i didn't consider. but if we have a 16" coping only pool, with the 8" between the retainer wall and water's edge, is that even enough room for a hoop?
grottoguy, which hoop did u get? would u mind sending a pic so i can get an idea for how it's installed? they r pricey, rn't they!
