We did the pvc with 1" black pipe in the overpass only. Just PVC on the ends as per the basic team plan (no black pipe). We used 1/8" acft cable criss/crossed on the end supports for more firmness. QUESTION: 78inches, is that from the carpet to the top of the over pass pipe, or the bottom of the overpass pipe?. How much "sag" is in the center of the official game overpass?
