Choose a suitable location for the court that is safe and away from high-traffic areas.

When it comes to building a backyard court, safety should always be a top priority.

Choosing a safe location and away from high-traffic areas is crucial to providing a secure environment for players. You want to ensure that no hazards around the court could potentially harm someone.

With some planning, you can find the perfect spot for your backyard court that offers safety and privacy for you and your family. For people who are in busy areas, think about adding some fencing or rebounders to your court to control the ball.

We design your court.

Expectations

In conjunction with your local general contractor, our team will inquire about your preferred sports for the new court. Additionally, we go over some essential knowledge-finding topics:

  • What players are you trying to cater to? Youth or adult (or both)?
  • What sports do you want to play on your backyard court?
  • Do you plan to use the court for more than recreation (for example: organizing tournaments)?
  • Are you interested in installing lighting so the court is more accessible for more hours of the day?
  • Based on the court’s location and design, are there space limitations around the court?
  • And everyone’s favourite question! What colours are you interested in for your backyard court?

When the design and layout best suit your space, the building process can start!

We discuss the construction of your court.

Designing and constructing a court for your favourite sport is an exciting project that requires thorough planning and research.

To ensure the best quality and functionality, choosing materials and products that suit your budget and needs is important.

From the surface material to the netting and lighting, each aspect of your court can significantly impact the experience of playing your sport. But don’t let the details overwhelm you – with the proper guidance and resources, you can create a court that you’ll love to play on for years to come.

To install a basketball court, the initial phase involves ground preparation. Your local contractor will assess factors like soil type, climate, and size of the area in British Columbia to determine the ideal course of action.

Have your local contractor create a solid foundation.

A backyard court is a significant investment, so having a solid foundation is important. A foundation supports the entire structure and keeps it firmly in place, protecting it from damage caused by shifting soil and moisture.

A skilled local contractor can create a foundation designed to withstand all environmental stressors and ensure your court is stable and secure. With a strong foundation, you can rest easy knowing that your court is safe and you won’t have to worry about damages down the road.

Our certified builders will collaborate with your local ground preparation group to guarantee that the court is built according to specifications and is ready for installation.
