I have seen this question posted before but still do not have a satisfied answer. Basically I am building a quick 10 foot box for the yard. The surface will be HDPE and I need to know whether or not I should use coping. If I do i'm just going to screw two tubes of Plastic PVC onto it but if it isn't necessary than I wont do it.

Lemme know please.
 
It really doesn't matter. The reason resorts do it is because they have like 200 people hit a box a day, but in your backyard that doesn't really happen so you don't really need to get it, especially if you got a nice thick sheet of PDPE
 
i dont think you really need coping. i have boxes without coping and just he hdpe and they have held up fine. its just another expense that wont really do much for you
 
I dont know about this. I didn't use coping on mine. I used black hdpe, and it still chipped, or had small parts sliced off. There were all these thin slices of hdpe on my yard for a while. It really didnt affect the way it slid, but all the hdpe ended up cracking anyway due to changes in temperature from summer to winter, so store that shit inside. Ill prob rebuild the box with coping and new hdpe this summer if I dont get my job at mt hood.
 
you should probably use coping. if you grip the box to spin off or switch up your edges are going to dig in to the HDPE and it's going to chip.
