The Ultimate DIY Guide to Building a Wooden Basketball Court

What wood is used for basketball courts?

The courts of all but one NBA team are composed of hard maple. Hard maple offers the most consistent playing surface and “bounce-back,” or shock resistance, to lessen fatigue on players’ knees and ankles.

How much does a hardwood basketball court cost?

The cost of a hardwood basketball court can vary depending on several factors, such as the size of the court, the type of hardwood used, the quality of the installation, and the location of the installation. The courts of all but one NBA team are composed of hard maple, which is known for its durability and ability to provide a consistent playing surface. The cost of a hardwood basketball court can range from $20,000 to $75,000 for a full-size outdoor court, and from $8,000 to $30,000 for a half-court. These costs can vary depending on the condition of the land, the drainage you need, labor costs, and the materials you choose. Concrete will cost you less than a polymeric rubber court.

How to build a wooden basketball court?

Building a wooden basketball court involves several steps. Here is a general overview of the process:

1. Choose the Size and Location of Your Court: Measure the area where you want to build the court and decide on the size and location of the court.
2. Purchase the Hoop & Sports Court Surface Tiles: The court surface tiles will provide the playing surface for the basketball court. There are different types of tiles available, such as hardwood, polymeric rubber, and others.
3. Level the Ground: The ground must be leveled to ensure a consistent playing surface.
4. Pour a 100mm Concrete Slab: A 100mm concrete slab is poured as a base for the court surface tiles.
5. Install the Hoop: A hoop is installed at each end of the court.
6. Install the Court Surface Tiles: The court surface tiles are installed on top of the concrete slab.
7. Paint the Line Markings: The lines for the court, such as the three-point line and the foul line, are painted on the surface.
8. Accessorise: Accessories such as scoreboards, backboards, and rims can be added to the court.

It’s important to note that building a wooden basketball court can be a complex and time-consuming process, and it may be best to hire a professional contractor to ensure the job is done correctly.
