It's not easy to upgrade the backyard for a basketball court, but there's no better way to showcase your love of the sport than with a home basketball court.

The below points helps you to build your own basketball court effectively and smoothly.

Get the size of the space

First step is to figure out the dimensions of the backyard basketball court because the court requires a substantial amount of space to build.

The basketball court needs to be installed on level ground. If your backyard doesn't contain the flat area, then rent a small excavator to dig up your ground and level it.

With or without concrete

If you are planning for spending a lot of time in the court and want to make the court surfaces strong, solid and longlasting, then concrete is essential.

When you build a backyard basketball court, either use a pre-made court floor made from rubber sports tiles or a plastic polymer mixer over the concrete slab or without a slab.

Collect the materials

For building a basketball court in your backyard, the most important thing you need is all set of materials and tools to complete the basketball building project.

You need different tools and materials such as stencil, tamper, hoops, tape measure, concrete if necessary as well as the stakes to mark the court.

Set the floor & hoops

Measure the court and mark it with the stakes.

Then use a string level to ensure the level of surface and use the shovel, excavator, and tamper to move the soil as needed.

Consult with the concrete contractor to frame and pour the slab. Create a frame and lay the rubber across the plane.

Resurface and mark the floor

Once the concrete has dried, then add a surface such as the rubber or polymer tiles. As per the weather condition, use the best product for your court.

If the surface of your floor is not pre-marked, then use a court stencil to create the accurate marking of the surface.

Conclusion

Build the basketball court in your backyard which is enjoyed by your family, friends, and neighbors for years.

By following the abovedefined points, you can design the basketball court in your backyard without any issues.
