Have you ever wanted to build a basketball court in your backyard but weren't quite sure how to go about it? SummerTimeHoops.com is a resource that provides answers to common questions that come up during the planning process. Below are some things you may want to think about during the planning process:
1. What type of basketball hoop do you want to get?
* Do you want an in-ground hoop, a portable hoop, or a hoop that is mounted to something outside?
* How big of a backboard do you want? (Some common sizes include 54", 60", and 72")
* Do you want the hoop to be adjustable or to remain at a fixed height?
2. Where will the basketball hoop be located?
* Do you have an ideal place where you would like the hoop/court to be?
* What are the dimensions of your court going to be? (One thing that you may want to factor in is whether or not you want to have a 3-point line on your court).
* A 30'x30' court would allow you to have a partial 3-point line, while a 50'x30' court allows you to have a full 3-point line.
3. What type of surface will you use for the base of your court?
* Will you use concrete? Or an alternative base?
4. Who is going to install/assemble your hoop and who is going to build your court?
*Are you going to hire someone else, do it yourself, or do a combination of both?
Hopefully you have found this information to be helpful. Have a blessed day.
