Consider an adjustable rim for young kids if this is for your home. This allows the whole family to play together without having the younger children get overly frustrated and being adjustable will allow the net to last well beyond high school.
Chain mesh makes an amazing addition to a home court and the sound when the ball hits the net really gets you pumped. It can be a little ghetto looking which may be the look you like for your court.
A really great outdoor speaker system is a must if you can afford it. There is nothing better than playing with music. Something that really gets your blood pumping.
I’ve seen some really cool personalized logos at center court or on backboards for half courts. It can be a really great way of bringing the overall feel of the court together.
You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation however I’m finding this matter to be actually one thing which I think I’d never understand. It seems too complex and extremely huge for me.
I am taking a look ahead for your next publish, I’ll attempt to get the hold of it!
Your right Jasmine, it really can be a bit tricky if your building your own court to get a handle on the layout. I’ve had a few people ask for more info on designing your own court. I’ll try to make things even more clearer in some of my future posts about what lines go where. In the mean time I’ll be putting out an ebook to help others interested in building a home court. Hopefully that helps with some of the things that people wouldn’t normally think of while building.
I’m a little low on cash and looking for a cheap alternative to a basketball hoop. Just for fun, nothing serious. Ideas anyone?
Hey Paul, so if I understand right you just want a DIY, homemade hoop rather than buying one? If so, I can tell you that an old bike tire rim works REALLY well. It’s a bit of work to get all the spokes out of the center of the hoop but once they are out it makes a great rim. I even went as far as attaching my DIY bike rim net to the side of my house when I was younger as I didn’t even have a piece of plywood to use as a backboard. I played for quite a while on that net until I could afford a real one. The only downside is that it can be tricky to get the mesh to stay on. Some zip ties work well if you can find some.
