If you want to build a sports court in your backyard, building a basketball court is a great choice that can awaken your passion for sports in you and your family. If you think installing a basketball court at home is complicated, you can get help from this guide on how to build a basketball court in your backyard!

Basic preparation

Foundation conditions

Before installing the basketball court, you must ensure that the foundation of the court is a regular, clean and horizontal surface. If there are other obstacles such as plants next to the selected foundation, they must be removed.

The foundation of the court must be hard, as you cannot build a basketball court directly on soft ground. We recommend a concrete or asphalt foundation. If you are not sure, you can send us pictures for professional advice.

At the same time, drainage pipes must be installed around the court to prevent rainwater from accumulating, as this would otherwise impair the normal use of the court.

After the foundation is prepared, you can measure the total court size, which is a necessary step in building a basketball court.

Common types of basketball court flooring

Popular basketball court floors currently available on the market include synthetic flooring, silicone PU flooring, wood flooring, modular sports flooring, acrylic flooring, PVC flooring, etc. Each material has different properties, so you can choose the most suitable flooring according to your actual requirements.

It is made of polyurethane prepolymer, mixed polyether, EPDM rubber particles or PU particles, pigments, additives and fillers, and has the characteristics of good flatness, high compressive strength and so on. However, it requires adhesive during construction, so it is not very environmentally friendly and daily maintenance is more complicated.

The main raw material for sports wood floors is solid wood from various trees such as maple, birch, oak, willow, etc. The prices of different tree species and materials are different, so the prices of sports wood flooring are also different. However, the installation of this type of wooden floor basketball courts is more complicated and requires a professional construction team. In addition, the wooden floor must be protected from moisture and liquids. Once it is damaged, it is difficult to repair and is not suitable for outdoor use.

Modular sports flooring has many advantages. Its raw material is mainly polypropylene (PP), which is non-toxic, odorless, water and moisture resistant, safe, healthy and environmentally friendly, recyclable, wear-resistant, non-slip, durable, impact resistant, resistant to high and low temperatures, and has a long service life. It is not restricted by climate and region during use and does not easily accumulate water after rain. In addition, it is easy to pave, has low foundation requirements and is in no way inferior to other sports flooring in terms of sports comfort. It is one of the best options for the installation of outdoor basketball courts.

Silicone PU is currently a popular flooring material for basketball courts. This type of basketball court has excellent overall performance, but must not be exposed to moisture. If it is exposed to moisture, the floor will buckle and deform. It can also easily fall down during training, which poses safety risks. It must not be exposed to direct sunlight, otherwise the floor will swell and deform easily.

PVC flooring are not suitable for outdoor basketball courts and other sports facilities. Firstly, PVC floors are difficult to clean and secondly, PVC floors gradually age over time and their elasticity gradually disappears.

Acrylic floors place very high demands on the construction technique, which takes more than 15 days, and also place high demands on the weather. During use, the floor is prone to blistering, cracking, deformation, fading, etc. Maintenance is therefore difficult, costly and largely affected by weather and temperature.
