Get matched with top basketball goal service pros in Lamoni, IA

So long as your court and hoop dimensions are the same, any basketball player can get a great workout and improve their skills on an indoor or outdoor court. However, you might consider using or building an indoor court if you live in a particularly rainy or windy area, as this can make it difficult to play outdoors.

The most affordable option to build a basketball court is asphalt. Asphalt costs $7 to $15 per square foot. This accessible and highly bouncy material will make your court perfect for a casual game or a serious play-off. You can also invest in a basketball DIY kit for additional padding. These kits cost around $1,500 and come with pre-marked, easy-to-install flooring tiles for a halfcourt. For hoops and scoreboards, look through your local used sporting supplies store or talk to school districts to see if you can snatch any equipment that’s being retired.

The biggest disadvantages of building a tennis court are the cost and the space if you lack enough square footage. Tennis courts cost double or triple the cost of pickleball courts, which can price out many homeowners looking for an at-home tennis court. You also need to consider the higher maintenance costs when it comes time to resurface or repair your tennis court. 

Regularly clean debris, fill cracks promptly, and apply protective coatings to extend surface life.
