A basketball court in a swimming pool.
After 18 years - it was time to replace the screen on our pool room. It did not take more convincing to get the contractor to hang up our basketball court above the pool.
After a quick trip to Walmart to find a backboard and hoop - we hung some aluminum rails from the rafters. Our pool guy did an excellent job of cutting the just including all of the angles.
The bottom of our pool is flat with 4 feet depth all over. With a little luck - the rim ended up exactly 10 feet from the pool bottom.
With the average summer day hitting 90 degrees here and the humidity sometimes getting even above 90% - one can't shoot baskets at a regular court without being sweat drenched. Usually a session is follow by a quick dip in the pool. So we decided to avoid the middle man and swim as we play.
See the video below for Harry making the first 10 baskets.
