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.
The rim looks slightly bent down and no outside shooting from the wings not enough space to run 3 on 3s. This is the epidome of one foot in one foot out..if you got that kind of money you gotta go hard all the way bro
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@backyardballersjust wondering, what do you feel the advantage is in terms of feeling way better than concrete? Just trying decide on leaving a backyard space as a concrete court vs. Something like this! Also did you require any cost on your own to level the ground or was that included in placing the concrete slab?
Nice court but if you’re gonna go through all that trouble why wouldn’t you make the three-point line complete. I can’t imagine it would cost that much more
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.
nice looking bball court, but is that rim bent ? also maybe consider getting a bigger side feel fence or betting to avoid the ball going into the water.
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.
You speak well, your video quality is amazing, and I’m happy I came across this video. I have a good question, my concrete is aged and has some cracking, is it ok I install this court over that? Or do I have to get a whole new concrete floor base?
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.
@@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?
@@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.
Any issues with dirt getting trapped in/under the tiles? I’ve always wondered if this would cause issues if it piled up high enough and if you could blow them out?
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.
I really appreciate this. I was quoted $50K, so I will be doing this myself. Thanks for the quality information.
Thanks I am glad it was helpful. Good luck on the court. I hope it turns out well!
This is a gorgeous backyard court.
going to need a net so the ball doesn't end up in the lake
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?
Did you need a city permit to install the concrete?
Great looking court! Great job... How many feet is the top of the key 3pt shot?
Did u have to install some concrete floor before tiles

Epidome……..

You did a really great job explaining every detail in this video I appreciate all the information you passed on 👏🔥
I appreciate that!
SO NICE!!! THANK U SO MUCH FOR THE INFO! It looks profesionaly done!
excited
I am worried if ball goes beyond the fence which is quite low. Looks like the lake is good habitat for allegators.
We do have a few gators back there
hey, do you think a 18x13 court is too small? what size would be ideal for a backyard court just to mess around?
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.
12k isn't too bad. I will consider this! Thanks!!
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.
What model is the Goalrilla hoop?
Are the tiles slippery when it gets a bit dusty? Like when they’re dry are they pretty grippy or when you run and stop so you slide a bit?
When they are dry they are not slippery. When it is wet, it will get a little slippery.
Do you still sale, the Nitroforce 1000?
How’s the court holding up? I’m thinking of purchasing the tiles real soon … do you recommend them? Slippery?
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
So no hooping in the rain…lost me there…
Can you play with an indoor ball like the Wilson Evolution on the tiles without it ruining the ball?
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!
Can you describe the playing experience on the tiles? What’s it feel like?

Thank you, can you please explain the hoop being in ground or if it’s free standing?
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.
It was around 12k, but how long did the whole process take again? Not sure if you mentioned it in the video.
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.

How many meters per square is this
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.
Looks great! Did you have to get approval from HOA?
Yeah I did have to get approval, but it honestly went pretty smoothly.
nice looking bball court, but is that rim bent ? also maybe consider getting a bigger side feel fence or betting to avoid the ball going into the water.

nice coloured tiles.. does it reduce the ball bounce noise?
I didn't notice a major difference in sound. It might lessen it a little, but in my opinion its not a super noticeable difference.
You speak well, your video quality is amazing, and I’m happy I came across this video. I have a good question, my concrete is aged and has some cracking, is it ok I install this court over that? Or do I have to get a whole new concrete floor base?
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.
Did you put the edge pieces on?
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.
Do you think the tiles are better for your knees than concrete or not much of a difference?
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?
👍🏻👍🏻
this gonna hurt shoes outsole right?
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.
Are the tiles checkered?
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.
Any issues with dirt getting trapped in/under the tiles? I’ve always wondered if this would cause issues if it piled up high enough and if you could blow them out?
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.
what was the size?
We did a 30'x30' court
damn $6300 for 900 square ft of concrete, nice!
You could get this don’t for half the price
bro i dont think those fences are high enough lmao
Yeah, we sometimes put up a retractable net on the fence to catch the balls.
again no 3pt on sides omg trash court
The 3 pt line mess the game of basketball up. Fr fr. 😂😂. Curry did yep I said it. 😢😂
@@mayhem8334then watch cricket!
12k!?!!!! Y'all rich lol
