costs to build backyard bball court

[jwunderdog]

I was quoted $2500 today for concrete/labor for 42x25 court.

How thick of concrete? Make sure it is thick enough the colder it gets where you live the thicker you want it. If you know a contractor you can trust ask them. Or call you local concrete suppliers. If they pour it to thin it will crack and fall apart in no time.

Visorman those courts look pretty cool. I have heard of RHINO before,don't they do a lot of actual goals? Are there any national companies other then RHino that specialize in that industry?

Im a runner and best advice I ever got was to never, ever, EVER run on concrete, always on asphalt in the street. That concrete will rip up your knees faster than anything else out there.

Rhino are so expensive. SnapSports is a better products and more options to choose to meet your budget.. The tiles are 5x better than rhino with traction especially in the rain if needed.. Rhino tiles are only 10 by 10 while SnapSports tiles are 12 by 12 with 12 years warranty compared to Rhino 10 years warranty.

Glad you like the courts!

Matt,

Make sure the concrete is 4 inches thick!

That is CORRECT! Thats why kids play on our tiles to support their bodies and knees.. Playing on tiles feels like your playing in the gym!

Don't tiles get slick as snot when wet?

Although MUCH spendier, I'd save the coin and get something indoors with real wood floors.
