Adding an indoor basketball court can provide a tremendous boost in team spirit and increase the opportunity for year-round practice sessions in community centers, schools, and sports clubs. If you’re looking into building one, however, you know that basketball gyms have their own set of special requirements that mean you can’t just use any recreational building as a basketball court.
Using a prefabricated metal building, basketball gym construction doesn’t have to be a hassle. In fact, the quick setup and affordable cost of steel buildings mean that more and more people are using metal buildings for a wide number of uses, from recreational buildings to corporate or business buildings.
So, when you want to build an indoor basketball court, here are several reasons why metal buildings are best.
#1: Quick Installation
The exact dimensions of a basketball court vary depending on the age of the athletes playing on it.
- The standard basketball court is 94 feet long and 50 feet wide (college and professional level)
- Most high school courts are 84 feet long and 50 feet wide.
- Junior high courts are smaller, measuring 74 feet long and 42 feet wide.
The large dimensions of indoor basketball courts mean using regular building materials can cost more and take longer than if you use prefabricated metal building kits.
#2: Energy-Efficient Roofing
The roofing on steel buildings is practical and strong, which means you don’t have to include any support pillars in the center of your indoor basketball court. Also, prefabricated recreational buildings are inherently less flammable than other types of buildings and there are additional fireproofing measures that can be implemented easier than with other buildings.
For example, coating and painting steel roofing so it absorbs and reflects solar energy appropriately can help you reduce heating and cooling costs, especially if the steel building manufacturer you choose sells Energy-Star compliant systems.
#3: Less Maintenance Needed
After completing most recreational building projects, there are many maintenance concerns to consider and take care of, in addition to all of the work involved in the planning and construction phases.
However, sports facilities and gymnasiums made from prefabricated steel buildings require less maintenance than other types of buildings. The strong metal frame means your building will have more longevity and durability because it’s able to better withstand long periods of exposure to the elements.
#4: Durability For Decades
Durability and longevity are critical concerns to keep in mind as you’re planning and building your sports facility or recreational building like a basketball court. From soccer stadiums and basketball courts to indoor gymnasiums and other sports buildings, it’s key to choose quality materials that are available at an affordable cost for your budget.
From the doors, the roof, the walls, and every aspect of your gymnasium, make sure you’ve got real strength in your building is important. When you’re using a high-quality steel frame at an affordable price, you can be sure that your gymnasium or recreational steel building will last for years.
