Converting a driveway into a basketball court can provide hours of entertainment and offers valuable practice time for anyone hoping to get on a team. With the right flooring product, you can make the most of your existing paved area, converting it into an ideal driveway basketball court.

Qualities to Look for in Driveway Basketball Court Flooring

While driveways offer the advantage of being flat and paved, they need some improvements before they’ll be an ideal surface for playing basketball. When wet, most pavement lacks traction, so rain can really dampen a game.

Pavement is also highly unforgiving, leading to aching joints and fatigue. If a fall occurs, it’s all too easy to skin knees and elbows.

Driveways also lack the dimensions of a basketball court. Adding and painting flooring with court lines can make for more accurate and fun practices and games.

The right flooring choice can solve all of these issues and let you make the most of your driveway court.
