They give you the critical areas of the three point line and are a ton of fun to play on and can accommodate awesome 3 on 3 games!īasketball hoops seem to be for sale everywhere now, but I do caution you in just buying a hoop online, who in the world is going to service it once it is in your backyard? We sell some of the best products on the market, from MagaSlam, Goalsetter, Sport Court Slam systems, and more and if we sell it, we service it, even 10 years from now! Glass is the best to shoot against as it gives you the best sound and response, but keep in mind they are glass so tell the kids do not throw anything against that hoops except a ball! We have replaced a few boards in our day from kids throwing a golf ball and other hard objects, which results in lots of shattered glass on your court and you are spending more on a backboard. If you do not have enough room for the entire 3 point line, just keep those benchmarks in mind as you downsize the court, we build a ton of basketball courts in the size range of 27’x27’ to 27’x35’ for smaller backyards. The perfect backyard basketball court we build is a 30’x50’ as 50’ is a regulation basketball width and the 30’ gives you over 5’ of room at the top of the key.
#Basketball court layout three point line full
If you want the full range of the three-point line you will need to go a minimum of 45’ wide and ideal is 50’. Remember a three-point line is 19’9” (high school 3 point) from the center of the rim, not the backboard, not the pole and the center of the rim is 15” from the backboard. This will give you some nice room at the top of the three-point line to set up for the shot.

If you want some three-point lines on the court (of course you do) you will need to go at least 27’ deep with the court away from the pole of the hoop. So, let’s talk about size first there are a few benchmarks for size to consider, first keep in mind the free-throw lane is 12’ Wide and the distance from the backboard is 15’ so already just to get the free-throw lane in a backyard you will need about 12’x18’ keeping in mind the backboard should not be on the edge of the court (don’t want the kiddos to turn an ankle falling off the court).
