Basketball is a great game, played by many and watched by millions, and that’s just the NBA. Because of the popularity of the game, it’s hard to walk by the park at any time during the day and not see a game of pickup basketball going on. If you’re fortunate enough to have a large enough backyard, having your own court is a wonderful way of utilizing the space. There are a number of companies that specialize in basketball court construction and repair in Sarasota FL, get in touch and get the ball rolling, so to speak.
There are two common dimensions for full size courts; one uses the imperial system of measurement and the other metric. In the US, the imperial system is used but even the metric court is almost the same dimensions. There are some differences in the dimensions from the foul line and the width of the key between high school courts and college courts so depending on the age of your kids and the neighbor kids, these small variations should be considered. If the yard is not large enough for a full court, then a half court can be just as much fun.
The contractors who specialize in basketball court construction and repair in Sarasota FL know all the pertinent dimensions, one of the things that they need to know from the owner is what surface will be laid. In many cases a concrete slab is poured, in other cases a blacktop surface is laid and in other cases again, a top surface may be laid on either the concrete or asphalt. The job goes a lot easier for the contractor if everything is on hand once the crew shows up to begin work. The posts for the backstops, the backstops themselves and the hoops should all be on hand.
In most cases the post is set into the ground at the same time the concrete is being poured, in this way it is not necessary to break into the surface to set the post. The dimensions from the surface to the rim of the basket are important.
Once the physical issues are taken care of, all that’s left is to lay out the lines and begin to enjoy your new court.
