Indoor garage court

An indoor court does not care what the weather is doing, which is most of the reason to build one. This is the smallest room we will put a basketball court in: 6.10 m across and 7.32 m deep, tiled wall to wall, with a 5.49 × 6.71 m court marked inside it. The court stops 0.61 m short of the wall behind the hoop on purpose: the hoop needs that room behind its post for the height crank to turn, and there is a 30 cm margin down each side. Height matters more than floor area here, and it is the number to check first. A rim sits at 3.05 m with the backboard standing above it, so 3.8 m is the least clear height that gets a hoop up with the 30 cm of clearance we insist on. Be honest about what that buys: ball-handling, footwork, post moves, layups and close-range work off the board. A normal jump shot needs more air than this. A standard domestic garage at 2.4 m will not take a hoop at all, at any rim height — measure before you plan anything else. The key is the full 4.90 m across and the free-throw line sits 4.60 m back from the backboard, so the distances you practise are the distances you will find in a gym. There is no three-point line. At 6.71 m deep there is no room for the real 6.75 m arc, and we do not draw short ones and call them threes. Dynamic Pro II in Wind Grey, with a Graphite Grey key and margin. It is a true 12 inch tile, so it lays on a one-foot grid — a garage measured in feet needs little or no cutting.
