There are a few more things you shouId consider before doing this project. 1.) Do you expect a return on investment from buiIding a bb court? Did you know bb courts can increase the vaIue of your home? That may affect the scope of the project. 2.) SoiI - what region of the country do you Iive in and what is your IocaI soiI conditions, can you achieve 90-95% compaction on the base materiaI. Ask peopIe who pour concrete for a Iiving in your area for tips especiaIIy for seaonaI regions or regions that cIimate changes reguIarIy. 3.) Hire finishers for the concrete. You can get 1 or 2 finishers pay them a fIat rate $150-$300 and get a perfect or dang cIose to perfect finish. They have the right tooIs for the job, and I can't stress enough how peopIe who finish for a Iiving know what they are doing, at the right pIace, right time, right temps, right conditions to get the right finish. It's truIy a form of art. Don't get me wrong I Iove my kids finger paintings, but..... 4.) Is your property sIoped that requires backfiII to raise grade AND if so, do you need a spread footing for additional support. Best of Iuck, it's pretty cooI feeIing when its finished!

I have been wanting to do this for the longest time, now that my kids are all at home, this would be the right time to do it. I really thought it would cost more than this, thanks for the recommendation.

I've been looking to do this for awhile now. Thanks for the walk through, this really helps me understand the process better.

Hello sir I just installed 2 seperate gorillas over the past 6 months as I do concrete also. Both directions said make sure you slab is not connected to the concrete for basketball post. So he should of put a piece of expansion joint in-between where the 2 concrete meets. Also I install extra concrete around the pole so that way if the basketball hits in that area under rim it has less chance of hitting the corner of concrete and bounces somewhere far. But that's a big basketball court. He did a good job. I find it weird that the 55 inch Goliath I had to hurry like 20 percent of the pole as the 60 inch Goliath ignite was like your concept. It seems like burying a pole will be stronger but the 60 inch is anchored. Idk lol

3400 is super cheap compared to in my area this is at least a 10k job in my area rn even more depending if pump needed and a bit bigger

You mind me asking what you do for living? Look like a successful man.

@Darth Vader I am a software developer full-time and real-estate investor/developer part-time. I am a workaholic though. I work & play 10 - 12 hours per day, everyday.

We put the top of an oil barrel on a barn and painted a square on top

Which concrete company did you use? I live in Katy and i am looking to add same backyard bball court like yours.

@@shohoku81 great question. I do not recommend re-routing your sprinkler heads, I would simply just cap them off. I recorded a separate video when capped off my sprinkler heads: kzread.info/dash/bejne/fnacso-vaa-6eJc.html

I My HOA just denied adding a basketball court in my backyard. Did you have to go through hoa approval process?

You're lucky. In our area, it cost $7-8 per SF.
