I finally decided to paint our half court. I was holding back on painting the concrete since the original plan was to buy sport tiles from VersaCourt.....BUT.....I eventually decided to go the economical way. We might still get the sport tiles later on but this is good enough for now.
Great Job ... I have a stencil kit... thanks for the advice, I will use spray cans.
Glad it was helpful!
This is looking awesome!! Kudos on this project!!
Thank You.
Very nice and thanks for sharing. I am doing the same for my kids.
You will not regret it. My Son is a totally different person because of basketball. Good Luck!
Nice backyard!
Hi, can you share which paint/stain you used along with the stencil kit? also, did you prep the concrete (besides the powerwash)? thanks
I just built a court… I need a a good stain, what’s the brand you used ?
I understand youre supposed to prime it with concrete primer before painting?
What kinda of paint did you use?
I am thinking of building a 30x25 ft court. Is the 30 wide enough for you?
No, because we cannot practice the corner shots from the three point line. We had enough room to build the full width with the 3 point lines in the corner, But we did not want to be too close to our neighbor's house to avoid noise complaints. We just did not want my basketball practice to be a neusince to our neighbor. If you are serious about basketball and you can build the full width, do it. If it is for recreational purposes, 30 width is enough.
this court without 3pt line on sides hurt me
Same here. We built it like that to make sure we are not a nuisance to my neighbor. If we built the full size width, we would have been right next to his fence and close to his Master bedroom. In short, we made it that size to make sure our neighbor does not complain about the noise. So far, that has been no complaints in the past three years since we built. If I want to practice three point from the side I usually go to the gym.
This court is amazing, don’t let haters tell you otherwise.
What size is the court
30W x 35L
Any issues with being slippery?
I add a little bit of sand in the paint mixture to give it texture.
Only if it rains or if you have no traction on your sneakers.
