As basketball continues it's popularity more and more people are picking up the sport for both entertainment and much needed exercise. Many parks and schools are equipped with a basketball hoop providing easy access to many people. Unfortunately these facilities lack a professional and safe surface. Most of the time they don’t even have distinct lines drawn on the surface which prevents a proper game. It is difficult to play when no one is sure where the 3-point line is.
There is an easy and affordable solution to basketball court surfacing that almost anyone can use to remedy the above problem.
Tennis Universal offers a line of
MultiMate Color surface paint which can be applied to a typical asphalt or concrete surface. They offer a non-skid sport surface together with a clean professional look that the high-end basketball facilities have. The product is so easy to use that many people apply the material to their personal basketball courts in their backyards, this means that the application of
MultiMate Color can be easily done by any club, school or recreational center.
You can start the process by preparing the surface. You have the choice of simply power washing the existing surface and applying two coats of color and then lines if the court has been previously color coated and your intent is just to redo the color. If the surface is new or requires major repairs you will need to apply a base coat using the
MultiCover Acrylic Resurfacer prior to the color applications. The base coat is recommended to ensure a flawless application of
MultiMate Color products while filling the chips and voids on the surface and hiding surface repairs such as filling cracks or leveling depressions. Once you have the surface ready you can install the
MultiMate Color which comes in a variety of 9 colors.
To customize the looks of your basketball court and to differentiate your court from the others, you can also do a two-color application. Tennis Universal has a neat
"mix & Match" color chart that allows you to alternate nine different colors within the keys and body of the basketball court layout diagram. This is really neat and a sure way to know what your court will look like after resurfacing. Once you’ve decided which colors to use you can choose from the regular
MultiMate Color with Sand that has the proper type of sand already mixed in or go with the
MultiMate Ready-Mix Color which has sand and water already mixed in. This means that you can save even more time during application, making an already easy task even easier.
A well built court can easily last for years and the investment is sure to pay off for itself. For a truly professional basketball court look that mimics the style of the NBA or the popular 3-on-3 basketball tournaments you can also add additional fixtures to your court such as lighting, scoreboards and much more. For your convenience all the mentioned products can be found at the Tennis Universal website.
