Pool Side Basketball Hoop Base Plate
A quick and easy repair of a faulty housing bracket for a poolside basketball hoop. The existing concrete had to be removed because of cracking and a new bracket was installed. SikaGrout® High Performance Grout was a great solution for this repair. Prior to pouring SikaGrout, I sprayed SikaLatex® R to the existing surface to help improve the bond and strength.
