This bench is custom fit to our entryway space. The storage boxes are really cheap from Ikea and provide a quick and easy way to get shoes out of sight. I forgot to mention in the video I used stain and polyurethane to finish with a sand at 220 grit at the end. Good luck.

Sir upgrade ur winch This is weak for this project And this is load on drill too Just use electrical winch with 1 ho or 2 ho motor and that
It works very well
Did you leave the OSB under the entire court? My understanding is if the gravel is compacted enough you don't need it
no, he says in the video he removes the osb.it would rot anyways
aint no way my boy said Pythagorean theorem
How has the basketball court faired 3 years later?
This is sooo slow and it is destroying the landscaping. pretty sure you can buy a proper electric winch for like $50 at harbor freight. Buy a dolly with 4 wheels already on it and you would have a much better solution for prob $70-80. Or just give a neighborhood kid a bit of money to do it.
Did you keep the plywood underneath? Looks good. Thanks
you can use landscape fabric between tiles and gravel for the weed problem. could help in uniformity of bounce too
Your voice is so damn annoying, I could not finish the video.
Any issues with moss growing? Solutions?
How has the court been so far? Do the tiles slip on the gravel? Thanks
OSB will rotten.
You would have pulled half the weight by mounting a pulley on the cart and anchoring that end of the wire rope at the top of the hill.
Explain more. I need to do something like this but going to use an electric winch
How much did it cost?
You can contact with me and you can visit the website www.kepaofloor.com janice@kepao.cc
I am a sports floor seller, if you want to buy basketball sports floor, I can offer you a quotation and DIY color and logo according to your requirements.
Looks great!
🤗 ᴘʀᴏᴍᴏsᴍ
Great idea. … yep 4 wheels would have been better. I’m gonna try this
Props for actually trying to put something together but this is a waste of money and time
Dude... what are you even doing.. I like the kind of hacky diy-ness to it... However if it were me I would reduce friction in the cart by EASILY adding another axle and wheels at the front... or even pulling it backwards with a larger cage... I know this post is over a year old, but I am bored, so to add, if I were to follow the hacky-diy nature of this build, I'd also use a corded drill duct taped ON, with a hacked in, long switch from the mains (this is unsafe) to operate the winch instead of holding the button down.
How are the court tiles holding up? Any issues with them warping or coming unhooked?
they warp in extreme heat (95 degrees plus), but seem to return back in the original shape. they don't become unhooked at all.
Hey there, I am in the DC area as well and looking to do something similar. Any chance that you could pass along the helping hands information?
Also in the DC area and getting ready to do similar. Glad to chat and share ideas/research.

How is the court currently holding up? Any Reason you didn’t put any landscaping fabric between the tiles and the stone dust?
That might work buy landscape fabric is good to prevent deep roots but I've found organic matter eventually settles on you of it and you get some growth anyway. I'm not an expert though. I do have some grass that creeps in on the court edges and moss grows under the tiles in spots.
Really?
What was the point of the gravel if it costs the same as pouring concrete? I am looking for a cheaper way. The court looks great, awesome job.
The gravel is good for 2 reasons: the rain drains through the gravel so any tree roots beneath the court are fine, whereas concrete would starve them and you would see it in the branches above the court. The other benefit is concrete is just a large surface for rain to hit and be diverted off of in a single smaller area, which is also what happens with a roof. If that water is near your house you are increasing the chance of that water getting into your house. That is why flooding occurs near large parking lots.
this is awesome! How does the outdoor basketball bounce on the end product? the flooring dense enough?
Bounce is reasonable. I have a friend who added a pad over the stone dust and bounce is too soft. Onky thing I don't like is the stone dust has multiple low spots which show up as dead dribble spots over the tiles. If I could do it over would do a cement base, but that is worse for drainage. Still figuring out how to relevel after each winter.
Would you consider pavers?
11.20.2022 edit. I take back the following comment. The stone dust has settled nicely now and the bounce of the ball is quite uniform. Some moss is growing I'm between tiles but I think there are treatments or just bleach to stop that. I've also learned some areas tax based on how much impermeable surface is on a property,, so stone dust and gravel like this will not get hit with those stormwater fees.. Original comment: Adding a follow up that if I had to do it over again, I would use a concrete base under the tiles, with the same wood frame. The stone dust has many slight dips that result in dead spots, and grass is encroaching in from the border requiring me to painstakingly lift tiles and pull out the growing grass. Considering pouring a bit more stone dust from the top of the tiles to remove deadspots, but that stains the tiles so far as I can tell. However, concrete is worse for drainage so be careful you are not driving water towards your house causing flooding if you use concrete. However, french drains can pick up water runoff and wick it away from your house.
Nice video man. I went with concrete I almost went the other route. If I had not have gotten a good deal I would have gone the other way. But I am so glad went with concrete.
We followed this excellent video to encapsulate the screened in porch in the winter with clear vinyl: ua-cam.com/video/GJ5_tGMRLbQ/v-deo.html
Does the stone dust make your tiles dirty
not on install, it's very tamped down and heavy. but I tried adding stone dust through the top to fill in dead spots and that is very hard to clean off afterwards. if I could do it over again I would have at least some cement to make a very level surface for the tiles. I might remove some dust and do that still when i get a chance.
How much was the whole court ? I’m thinking of making one thanks
About 3k for me
@@keeptheclienthappyhomediy8034 thanks. Is that including the gravel and stone dust?
Wouldn’t the wood end up rooting away?
In 20 years maybe. It is pressure treated wood.
How did you hold the tiles in place did you add some type of end peace
when the full court is assembled it is so heavy it cannot move. i did order from rubber flooring inc the edging which tapers the tile down to the ground as is a design touch. but the stone dust is filled in to be even to the top of the wood frame, which the 2 of those together make the level playing base. the tiles start halfway on the width of the 4x4 wood frame pieces and then overlap onto the stone dust areas. hope that makes sense
Put a skid plate on the front.
definitely. or maybe 2 more wheels.
Very cool invention. Does it still keep the soda fresh?
It does. Just close the top valve and its like keeping the soda cap on..
To much work
nice work
Nice work! I’m working on a 30x30 court for the kids. I hope to achieve similar success.
Im about to start a 45 by 30 foot court let me know how you're getting along
@@damanrai9879 Just put in the MegaSlamXL goal today. I'm working to complete the actual court. I'm using concrete pavers for the base. I'll add a Versacourt on top when the pavers are done.
@@cv4875 update?
@@cv4875 any update on this?
Happy to find this video - I'm at the stage now where I used a rented sod cutter on the area yesterday (about 28x32 feet) and now working on removing the sod/earth. Half an hour of cutting, then who knows how many hours for the removal (wife, daughter and I)! Fortunately we have use for it, as we had a foundation job done and the earth around the house sunk quite a bit. I'd originally thought about doing concrete, but eventually decided to go with gravel and dust to reduce the expense. But you figure that cement would be a similar expense? We're nowhere near the house, so drainage isn't really a concern.
It may be slightly more for Concrete but may be worth it. After this install I’m finding it difficult to keep every level after settling and rain. So concrete would be a better court. Topping with self leveling outdoor concrete of 1” would be amazing. You may not need tiles after that too, with or without self leveling. It’s a nice touch though. Good luck. What are you doing with all the extra dirt? We still have piles bordering our backyard!
We had our foundation sealed and insulated not too long ago, and the earth that was filled in sunk after a while, so the earth from the court area came in handy. Here's the finished product: Finished court imgur.com/gallery/DfwbPLa
I'm hoping that the landscaping fabric will protect the stone dust somewhat from being washed away. It's about 900 sq ft, so that would be A LOT of concrete, I'm thinking.
John Graham looks great!! How is the ball bounce on that?
@@Dadtheimpaler well done sir! OK I'm keeping an eye out for your court painting video :) and the 3 second circle too! What was the cost of the paint and where did u get it?
