If you love basketball, or you have children who like to play, you might be thinking about finding a way to play on your own property. Instead of needing to find a court and waiting for people to finish their game so you can play, you might want to get a hoop of your own. However, instead of just getting a basketball hoop, you want to go the extra distance and have a proper basketball court installation for your home.
Creating a custom basketball court comes with substantial cost, but you can use it for many years and have a lot of enjoyment from it. One of the first things that you need to consider is the size that you want, and this will be dictated by the amount of room that you have, as well as your budget. You could install a full, regulation-size court, but most properties will do just as nicely with a half-court or even a junior court, which is a little less than 10% smaller.

Other considerations and costs
There are many different types of materials that can be used for court materials, such as concrete, asphalt, and wood. Different materials have different costs associated with them.
Depending on the state of the land where you will be placing the basketball court, you might find that you need to have extensive site preparation that will add to the cost.
You will probably need to get a permit in order to install the basketball court.
The outdoor court might need to have a drainage system installed. It will depend on the land and the amount of average rainfall in your area.
There will be ongoing maintenance costs for the court regardless of the type of material used. This could include fixing cracks in asphalt, repainting the lines, or resurfacing rubber top coats, for example.

Stages of construction on the example of a football stadium
The thickness of the foundation pit and the amount of materials that are needed for your foundation, we select depending on the size of the field. We select drainage and other systems based on the regional location (how much precipitation is in your region, what kind of drainage is needed). Additionally, we equip drainage wells, or divert them to the drainage system. Field slopes of several different types depending on site operating conditions.
Preparing the excavation, sand bed, drainage system
The quality of a football field is more than half dependent on the quality of the base! Our base is a monolithic solid single layer, which over the years does not form any fractures, the soil does not go anywhere and remains flat throughout the entire period of operation. Relatively speaking, even if a tractor passes over the base, there will be no tire marks, because everything is solid and dense!
Sequential compaction of base layers
We carry out all types of additional improvement works: we can install a fence for you, pave an asphalt path to something, level the territory, paint walls, curbs, etc. We will perform all the required related work!
Installation of the curbstone
The laying of artificial grass itself is as important as the preparation of the base. When laying the field, an important aspect is gluing the rolls and cutting the markings. Gluing must be done securely. The material in the work requires getting used to, because the two-component glue rolls down after a while and they need to work quickly.
Laying the grass on the prepared base, gluing it and cutting the markings
Be sure to remember: the gate is installed with a safety requirement so that it does not turn over. Therefore, this aspect is given special importance. In this regard, the gate is either concreted or attached to an accompanying fence.
Installation of the goal
The backfilling of a football field determines a large part of the playing characteristics. Backfilling is a responsible job, because the presence or absence of drops and bumps, which will eventually be felt during the game, depends on the uniform distribution of sand and crumb rubber on sports grounds. That is, there should be both a flat base and a high-quality pile with an even distribution of backfill under it.
Raising grass, distributing sand and crumb rubber across the field
We cooperate with the largest manufacturers of stands, fences and other sports equipment in the Russian Federation. Therefore, if necessary, we can supply everything you need to the object at a wholesale price. We install all this equipment, advise in which cases which is better, etc. We can supply many things both in a finished version and make them ourselves on the spot.
Installation of additional equipment (treadmills, jumping pits, safety fences, grandstands)
You can also be sure that we will carry out all the necessary arrangements for their improvement on the site and the adjacent territory.

We supply basketball surfaces from world manufacturers
The dynamics of basketball matches means high speed, sudden movements and heavy loads on the joints. It is very important that the flooring of the basketball court is both wear-resistant and injury-proof at the same time. For basketball courts we offer: tennis, hard or soft-hard, modular plastic, polyurethane coating and crumb rubber coating.
Our company only works with proven materials that have passed the strictest quality control, so we offer a wide selection of outdoor basketball surfaces from domestic and foreign manufacturers, such as: ERFOLG , BERGO , Plastfacto , Conica , Novol , Aropa , CRUMB , GUMBIT 90 MASTER FIBER and many more.
In addition to the construction of basketball courts, we take care of the complete set of the object and provide it with all the necessary equipment until it is ready for operation. In accordance with the requirements of the customer, any sports equipment can be installed: backboards, rings, stands of a certain capacity, running tracks, a sector for standing long jumps and, of course, various types of fences.
We offer metal fences or safety nets at the customer's choice
Metal 2D and 3D railings are sectional structures of increased strength with rod diameters from 4 to 6 mm, protected by a polymer and zinc coating. Unlike other fences, mesh panel fencing is maintenance-free - it does not collect dust, does not fade in the sun and does not deform under wind loads, and also does not need periodic painting
Protective mesh made of kapron or nylon threads can have different mesh sizes: 100x100, 40x40 or 20x20. Such a fence is ideal for zoning the playing space and protecting spectators from sports equipment. The mesh does not need maintenance and is easily restored
While building new basketball courts, we also work on existing facilities that need major repairs or minor restoration. We are happy to undertake the design of a sports facility, without including construction work, and for the implementation of the facility according to an already finished project.

Surrounded by the houses of the Choi Hung Residential Complex, the basketball court is definitely worth a visit. This complex was built in 1964 and offered apartments to Hong Kongers at affordable prices. To make economical housing not so dull, builders painted the balconies of high-rise buildings in bright colors. And it is no coincidence, because “choi hung” in Cantonese means “rainbow”.

Commissioned by Project Backboard, artist William Lachance created a colorful basketball court surface in suburban St. Louis. “For me, the design of the site is not much different from drawing in the studio. When creating this cover, I used associations and images inspired by various sources,” says William Lachance. His inspirations range from pop culture to nature, which can be seen in the design of the venue as well. The artist adds: “Compositions seem alive when you look at them while playing from a constantly changing angle.
