How to Build

With the help of ZSFloor, DIY Basketball Court is like a puzzle, like 1, 2, 3...

Level the ground and establish a concrete base

If the ground is not level, you must level it.

Dig the site to a depth of 8 inches (20 cm).
Add a 4 inch (10 cm) thick layer of compacted gravel.

Gravel helps level the ground and allows water to drain from under the floor, so it is less likely to be damaged.

Build concrete/asphalt base: recommended concrete (100mm thick/25MPA/rebar).

Measure the size of the site

Measure the length and width of the court to facilitate the design of the field and the drawing of lines.

Install the basketball hoop

Choose two 10-foot (3.0-meter) high basketball hoops (1 for half court). Look for a ground basketball hoop that can be permanently installed for the most durable option. If you want to make them shorter or taller, choose an adjustable basketball hoop. In this way, it is easier for younger children to shoot.

Design your basketball court

Look for a designer, design the line drawing position of the court according to the size of the venue and design your own LOGO, you can put the LOGO in the restricted area and other places. Then make drawings of the basketball court.

Note: If you use ZSFloor basketball court floor, ZSFloor designers will design your court and make drawings with you according to your court size for FREE.

Install the basketball court floor

If you plan to use the concrete floor directly as the surface of the basketball court, you can skip this step.

When installing the basketball court floor, you need to buckle them together one by one in order, and then you are done. ZSFloor provides floor installation instructions, only need to install according to the drawing and floor number, it is as simple as a puzzle.

At present, more people will use the interlocking floor to lay on the surface of the basketball court.

Line drawing

First draw the game line using masking tape according to the drawing, and then spray paint or use a brush to draw the game line. Generally, the effect of spray painting is more uniform and durable than painting.
