How to Create Your Perfect Driveway Basketball Court

Many families with children and a flat driveway choose to turn it into a basketball court for recreation purposes.  It is often difficult to take it to the next level and add in all the correct of proportional measurements to enhance your driveway basketball playing to the optimal level.  There are kits available to aid in this process, but here is what we found to be the best methods.

Some of the kits offer a stencil kit that includes 6 templates that outline the lane, the key, top portion of the 3-point line, and lines around the lane.  The templates are paper stencils with holes that allow you to paint the lines on through them, giving you the necessary half court playing lines.  These kits are priced around $20, and are pretty simple to use.  They do not include the paint.

Another option is the Court-in-a-Box™.  This kit allows home court optimization by giving you tiles to place on the surface you wish to transform into a basketball court, such as your driveway.  It also offers tiles with the white lines painted on them, so after you have all the tiles in place, you have nothing more to do.  It’s all right there for you.  The kit comes in 3 size options, and comes with a Playmaker™ basketball hoop.  These kits will range in price from $2,800 to $5,000.
