Constructing a basketball court requires careful planning and attention to detail. At Court Surfaces we construct, resurface and repair outdoor and indoor basketball courts. If you are looking to build a new basketball court below are a few things to consider.

1. Court Size and Layout: A standard full-size basketball court measures 94 feet long and 50 feet wide. However, if space is limited, you can opt for a half-court or smaller court size. Determine the court dimensions based on your available space and the intended use.
2. Surface Material: Basketball courts can be constructed with a variety of surface materials, including asphalt, concrete, or Versacourt Sports Tiles. Each material has its pros and cons in terms of durability, playability, and maintenance requirements. Consider factors such as budget, climate conditions, and expected usage to choose the most suitable surface material.
3. Court Markings: Proper court markings are crucial for accurate gameplay. The court should have clearly marked boundary lines, free-throw lines, three-point lines, key areas, and any other required markings according to official basketball regulations. The lines should be painted with durable, non-slip paint.
4. Hoops and Backboards: Install high-quality basketball hoops and backboards. The hoops should be regulation height (10 feet) and securely mounted. Backboards can be made of various materials such as tempered glass, acrylic, or polycarbonate. Consider factors like durability, performance, and budget when selecting the hoops and backboards. Court Surfaces offers both gooseneck and adjustable basketball goal systems in all sizes.
5. Multi-Sport Considerations: If desired, you can design the basketball court to accommodate other sports as well. For instance, you can incorporate additional markings for tennis or volleyball to create a multi-sport court.
6. Regulations and Permits: Check with local authorities regarding any specific regulations or permits required for building a basketball court. This step ensures compliance with zoning, building codes, and any other relevant regulations.
