Thanks I am glad it was helpful. Good luck on the court. I hope it turns out well!

I appreciate that!

Thank you for the kind words! I would speak to a concrete contractor to see if the concrete is in a good enough condition to put a sport court over top of it.

Yeah I did have to get approval, but it honestly went pretty smoothly.

We have had to fish out a couple balls already 😀. We are going to put a retractable 10 foot high net on the fence for when we are playing to keep the balls out of the water.

There are crocodiles in the lake?

The rim is straight, might have just been the angle of the video. I do have a net that I put on top of the fence to stop any balls from going into the water. It works pretty well that way.

It is attached to a concrete footer in the ground. The concrete footer has a bracket that the hoop attaches too so that it is secured.

The court is holding up extremely well so far. We have had the court a little under a year. So far the tiles and coloring have not faded either which is nice. After rain it does get slippery until it dries out, so that is definitely something to keep in mind.

Yea i was gon say my old college had that same flooring and it is extremely slippery after it rains

When they are dry they are not slippery. When it is wet, it will get a little slippery.

It has a pretty good feel to it. The material does a good job of not moving when making hard cuts. It is hard plastic though, so it's not as nice of an experience as it would be on an indoor hardwood court. However, it is way better than playing on concrete. While being hard plastic, it still doesn't feel bad to play on. I will also add that if it gets any bit of rain on it, it is very slippery. So, if you get rain you do have to let it dry out pretty much completely to be able to play any bit of serious games on it. I hope that is helpful, let me know if you have any further questions.

For the concrete pad it was: 1 day for clearing and grading the yard, 1 day for pouring the concrete, then they came back the next day to cut it. So that was a total of 3 days. For the basketball hoop they poured the footer and installed the anchor in one day, they let it dry for two days and then came back and installed the hoop after the two drying days. For the sport court/modutile, I was able to install that in about 3 hours. So all in all it was 3 days for concrete pad, 4 days for basketball hoop, and 1 day for the sport court. Of course you could install the sport court while you are waiting on the hoop to be installed, so really you could get it all done in under a week. Hope that was helpful.

Thanks, I hope the video was helpful!

heck no! He must know somebody who poured the concrete.... 900 square ft in many places in the midwest is higher, I got quotes of over $9000 on 840sq.

We do have a few gators back there

We have used an indoor game ball and it has held up pretty well. It will wear out sooner than on an indoor court, but it honestly has held up pretty well so far. It is probably more ideal to use an indoor/outdoor ball, but the indoor official game balls have also held up pretty well.

@@backyardballers good to know. Thanks and nice court!

The key is 12ft wide by 15 ft from backboard, add another 6ft for top of key/3point line. Smallest I would recommend is 20ft wide by 25ft long and a hoop with a 3ft overhang at most with the pole anchored off the court like in this video.

Yeah I think it makes a difference. Straight concrete is super rough for the knees, and these tiles do provide some cushioning.

@@backyardballers Did you look into any other court tile makers? Just wondering if there any differences between the brands or are they all the same just plastic tiles?

Yes we did put the edge pieces on. Those were not as easy to install and had to be almost forced in at a couple of places.

It is hard plastic so it will wear your shoes out quicker than an indoor court. However, it will be better than just having concrete on the court.

Yes, the ones I purchased are checkered. It makes for a pretty nice look I think.

@@backyardballers yea I really like yours, i am prepping the backyard now for a 60 x 30 half court basketball/pickle ball court. Will also use modutile, i really like the green and gray combo you did, think i need a third color for the court i get.

That will be awesome. We would have loved to do that size and have the pickle ball lines too.

I honestly haven't had an issue with too much dirt under it. We do have grass all around the court so we don't typically get a lot of dirt on the court.

Each tile is a 1 foot x 1 foot section so roughly .3m x .3m per each square. Our whole court was 30 foot x 30 foot.

We did a 30'x30' court

Epidome……..

Yeah, we sometimes put up a retractable net on the fence to catch the balls.
