I was wondering if it was possible to install the outdoor basketball court kits on relatively flat grass rather than concrete?
We don't recommend installing our Outdoor Sports Tiles over grass, but many of our customers have done so with success. The best subsurface to install our court tiles on is concrete, but if you have a flat piece of ground, installing our sports tiles on it, shouldn't be a problem. The main issue of installing on direct ground is that the tiles can sink into the ground after a rainstorm. Also, since the ground is not totally stable, if you were to fall hard on the tiles, you can push the tiles into the ground. Another issue that can pop up is that the tiles will buckle due to not being able to expand and contract properly.

Edges are sold separately. If you would like edges for the 30x30 you would need 58 Male edges, 58 female edges, 2 male corners, and 2 female corners.
Was this helpful?I understand from the below that concrete is the best sub-surface to install the tiles on. But I have a few other related questions. How thick should the concrete sub-surface be? How do I ensure that the tiles do not slip/move over time?
The typical concrete slab thickness is 4", but there is no standard thickness needed under our Outdoor Basketball Court Kits. The weight of the tiles in conjunction with the pegs on the bottom of the tiles will help them stay in place while at play. There would be no need to add any glue or tape under the tiles to keep them in place.
Was this helpful?How does the floor tile handle the snow and ice? How do you recommend clearing the space in the case of snow? In Chicago we use salt to clear ice and snow, is this ok?
Our Outdoor Sports Tiles are made from a hard plastic polypropylene and can withstand the elements without being damaged, so they will be able to withstand the ice and snow. These tiles can be shoveled, snow blowed, etc. As for salt -it certainly won’t hurt the tiles, but it may leave a residue. You may want to pressure wash them off in spring.
Was this helpful?Has anyone installed these tiles over compacted crushed rock, like granite for instance? This would be compacted over "blown sand" which is a typical soil along coastal SoCal? It drains very well.
Yes, these tiles can be installed over crushed granite.
Was this helpful?I have a 25’ x 25’ mulched area over dirt. Would I be able to install without cementing?
Our Outdoor Sports Tiles should be installed over a solid surface. Acceptable subfloors would be concrete and asphalt. Installing these tiles over mulch is not recommended because the playing surface will become unstable.
Was this helpful?Is it possible to drive over them?
You can drive over our Outdoor Sports Tiles. These tiles are made from the same material as our hard plastic garage tiles.
Was this helpful?I currently have a cement slab used for a mini full court basketball. My father and I poured the cement ourselves, so it's not exactly perfect. It has small portions of it that when it rains, creates a small puddle. Will this be an issue if I install the rubber flooring on top of the current cement slab?
If water were to seep onto the underlayment, the water would sit on top of the underlayment or get into the pores and evaporate. The water will not destroy or affect the underlay in any way. This should not be an issue.
Was this helpful?Are the tiles ok to leave out in each of the four seasons? I live on the East Coast.
Yes, the court consists of weather-resistant tiles that will withstand all seasons.

Was this helpful?Installing tiles on concrete warehouse floor. Do the tiles have any thickness and adsorption, or will a rubber sub floor be required? Also is the floor responsive to the bounce of the ball?
These tiles can be installed directly over the concrete floor. We have had customers install these kits over concrete and have no issues with the bounce of the ball.
Was this helpful?What do you think about installing a 30 x30 court on top of crushed compacted driveway underlayment material?
If it's compacted crushed granite, you may install this kit over it.
Was this helpful?What is the best way to clean this product. Can you spray it with A moss control Or bleach water
The easiest way to clean these tiles is by vacuuming any loose dust, dirt, or debris from the tiles and/or simply hose down the floor and let the self-draining design allow for the dirt and debris to be swept away.

Was this helpful?Hey I just leveled out an area by me and put stone dust and packed it u think I can put the tiles over that and it will be stable ?
You may install these tiles stone dust base, we do recommend using these over a hard surface like concrete or asphalt. The weight of the tiles will keep them together so they would be stable to a certain extent.
Was this helpful?Does the Outdoor Basketball Court Kits have the lines painted on?
Yes, we do offer these kits with game lines in two sizes. Please choose the "20'x24' with game lines or 30'x30' with game lines options on the product page.
Was this helpful?I want to know do you sell smaller outdoor basketball court kits? I want something 10x10, is this possible? Thank you.
Yes, absolutely! Please see our Outdoor Sports Tiles and use the "Flooring Designer" located under "Product Highlights" to create a custom court.
Was this helpful?Our court is 26x30...how do I order the correct amount and sizing?
Please see our Outdoor Sports Tiles and use the flooring calculator to calculate the number of tiles you would need for your court. This is the same product that we use to create the Outdoor Basketball Court Kits. You may also use the "Flooring Designer" located under "Product Highlights" to create a custom court.
Was this helpful?Can you install this over blacktop
If by black top you mean asphalt, then yes, you can install the Outdoor Basketball Court Kits over it.
Was this helpful?The size of our concrete pad is 26x30...can I use the kits to install the court even though the size is not exact.
Yes, you may install the court on your concrete pad. The 20'x24' court would work perfectly, however you may get the 30'x30' if you need a bigger court. These tiles are easy to cut, so you can use a tile cutter or power saw to cut them to fit your space as needed. Another option would be to build your custom court using the flooring designer on our Outdoor Sports Tiles. This designer will allow you to design a court that would fit your space perfectly.
