That's why we've put together this blog post on backyard basketball court designs. We'll cover everything from the latest materials to the most popular features, so you can create the perfect court for your needs.
Base Materials
When installing your basketball tiles you need to have a sturdy and robust base which the tiles will sit on. Having a surface like this is important because it will bring in stability, durability and a safe playing environment.
Some materials good materials to make polypropylene tiles sit on are:
Concrete
Asphalt
Crushed Stone
Blocked Paving
These are some good surfaces which will support the tiles throughout a varying set of weather conditions and usage stress. If you do not have any of the above or similar surfaces you can contact Kangaroo Courts to do the surfacing for you.
Basketball Court Tiles Design
Tile designs can vary from a range of colours and logos. Pick a colour that you like and feel like seeing on a daily basis, remember, you will be seeing this everyday and practising on it often so ensure that you have something you like to see.
A combination of two colours would be ideal to reduce the monotone effect and bring some brightness to your backyard court. Try a brighter and a darker colour eg: bright red after the 3 point line and dark blue within the 3 point line, the contrast will be attractive and effective to play on.
Fundamental Accessories
The Hoop
Depending on the space you have and the player preference you can choose either an in ground hoop or a wall mounted hoop. If you have a smaller space and a sturdy wall close by you could opt for a wall mounted hoop, if its a wide open space you could opt for an in ground hoop that brings an original look and is quite sturdy.
The Basketball
A good court requires good basketball. When buying one try to match it to the colour of your basketball court eg: if its a red and blue court try to get either a red or blue basketball, or even the traditional orange if you are a fan. You can check out the Kangaroo Courts Shop for some options.
