Outdoor Basketball Court DIY

Well I didn't do any of the concrete work. I just had a big enough driveway to put down the lane and 3-point circle. But the stencil set I settled on (after a lot of net research) was this one

Pro Dunk Stencil set

I prepped the surface, power-washed it good and rinsed the hell out of it and let it dry for a day or two.

I used Rustoleum Professional Striping Paint. Be sure you don't get marking paint. That stuff doesn't last and fades quickly. I did that at first and had to re-do it but it wasn't bad and the stencil is reusable if you take care of it.

I did it11-12 years ago when my daughters were little and getting serious about playing ball. Goal is a Goal-Rilla adjustable height with glass backboard. My older daughter credited our home court with improving her free throw percentage. They are grown up and done with basketball now but the court is still there, somewhat faded but still clear enough to use.

I still go out there and shoot free throws myself when the weather is nice.

Just be careful, "Work slowly and carefully" as it used to say in the old plastic model kits. This is a true "Measure Twice, Cut Once" situation.

You will be glad you did it, good luck!
