BACKYARD BASKETBALL COURT DIMENSIONS

These basketball court dimensions are just guidelines.
There are no templates. Every court we do is custom.

Small basketball courts

Most backyard courts do not have a full three point line as that would require a width of about 44′. However, most customers do have enough space for the three point line at the top of the key.
There is often more than one place you can build your home basketball court.

Half basketball courts

Many backyard basketball courts do have space for a full three point line. The main question with these courts is, how much space do you need behind the three point line? If your home basketball court does not have enough space behind the three point line, then your court may not be very playable. As your basketball court builder, we will work with you to help you choose the best size and place for your basketball court. We do half courts in both acrylic hardcourt and with basketball court tiles from Versacourt.

Full basketball courts

Full court basketball courts have different considerations than smaller backyard courts. How much space do you need at midcourt? To reduce the length of the court, the midcourt section can be smaller. The other consideration is how much out of bounds space you need. As your basketball court builder, we will work with you on your basketball court installation. We do full courts in both hardcourt as well as with basketball court tiles from Versacourt.

BACKYARD BASKETBALL COURT FENCING

Most backyard basketball courts have fencing for ball containment. No more knocking on your neighbor’s door to get your basketball that went over the fence! No more chasing the basketball down the hill! Fence heights range in height from 6′ to 10′. The recommended fence height depends on the location of the court, any nearby obstructions, and if it is close to a busy street. There are many options for fencing.

The most popular option for basketball court fencing are our rebounders. These are like chain link fences, but have soft mesh netting instead of metal links. The mesh does not block view as much as chain links, and can be used as a practice wall for basketball or racquet sports. Our rebounders come in two sizes – 10′ x 10′ and 10′ x 20′. The most common setup is having one rebounder on each side of the hoop. Multiple 10′ x 20′ rebounders can be used to cover a longer side, to protect the ball from going over the fence or down a hill.

BACKYARD BASKETBALL COURT CONSTRUCTION FAQs

Why should I build a backyard basketball court?

There are many public basketball courts here in the Bay Area. However, they can get very crowded, especially on the weekends or holidays. Basketball is one of the most popular sports in school. May customers choose to build their own backyard basketball court so their children and their friends can play in the safety of their own backyard. Other customers build a backyard basketball court for the convenience of having a home basketball court. Why drive to a crowded public basketball court when you can enjoy your own home basketball court? Many families also have children in school playing for their school team, and having a backyard basketball court makes it easier for them to practice. Some of our customers have even hired private coaches to come to their home and train their kids on basketball!

What is the cost to build a backyard basketball court?

The cost of a backyard basketball court is different for every home. The starting point is the size of the court. How much space do you have for your court? How much site prep is required? Is the area level, or will it need to be graded and leveled? Dirt offhaul will also add to the cost. In addition, access is very important. We dig with an excavator. If there is no access, then hand digging may be the only option. This would increase the cost.

What base is required for a backyard hardcourt basketball court?

There are two ways to build a backyard basketball court. If you are looking for a hardcourt, then the options are post-tension concrete and asphalt. While post-tension concrete is a higher initial investment, it has many benefits. It reduces the severity of cracks. This gives post-tension courts an expected lifespan of 25+ years. In comparison, asphalt cracks will tend to crack after 10 years or less. Asphalt cracks easily becauseit shrinks over time. Also it cracks due to the weather. Also, asphalt becomes more brittle as it ages. After asphalt courts start cracking, the cracks will tend to get worse over time. The court will then need constant repairs over time. As a result, asphalt courts may eventually need to be completely replaced.

In contrast to asphalt, post-tension concrete reduces or even prevents cracks. Post-tension concrete is built with steel cables. The cables are tensioned after the concrete is poured. This keeps the concrete under compression in both directions. This greatly reduces cracks. As your local basketball court builder and basketball construction company, we focus on post-tension concrete. Post-tension courts offer the best quality. Also the total cost of ownership is lower when you factor in the lifespan of the court.

What base is required for a backyard tile basketball court?

We are the exclusive dealer and court builder for Versacourt. Versacourt is a leading basketball court tile company. In contrast to acrylic hardcourts, tile courts can be built with rebar reinforced concrete. However, there are many special considerations when building the concrete for a tile court. If the concrete is not built correctly, the tile court will not perform well. We have seen concrete done by “local concrete guys” which have resulted in soft spots in the court. Basketballs will not bounce correctly on soft spots. This results in poor bounce quality on your court, where some areas on the court bounce differently than others. Most local concrete guys have never built a basketball court before. Hire your local concrete guy at your own risk!

How long does it take to build a backyard basketball court?

The time to build a hardcourt backyard basketball court is about 6-7 weeks. This is because we need to let the post-tension concrete cure for a full 30 days before the acrylic surface is applied. The time to build a Versacourt tile court varies, depending on the Versacourt lead time. In the busy season, the lead time to make the tile court is about 4-6 weeks. In the less busy season, the lead time to make the tile court is about 3-4 weeks.

As far as the start date, that depends on you. We require a signed contract and deposit to add your project to our queue. We start projects in the order which we receive signed contracts. So the sooner you make a decision, the sooner we can potentially start your project.

What lighting options are there for a backyard basketball court?

Court lighting is specialized and is thus different from most other kinds of lighting. Court lighting faces straight down on the court. This is important for many reasons. When light is downward facing, you minimize glare. Also, when lights face downward, this ensures even coverage of light across the entire court.

What court lines can I have for a backyard basketball court?

The higest governing body for basketball is the Federation Internationale de Basketball. In the USA is called the International Basketball Federation. This is shortened to FIBA. Basketball is played at many levels, including international, professional, college, high school, and recreational. Court dimensions will vary, however backboard dimensions and rim size remain the same.

Most home courts will have the standard NFHS court for school level play. We can also add NCAA and NBA three point lines upon request. For full courts and half courts, we can build courts in accord with NBA, NCAA, and FIBA standards.
