Typical backyard basketball court dimensions are 60 feet by 90 feet (for reference, a regulation NBA court is 50 feet by 94 feet). If your backyard space is limited — but you don’t want to settle for the ol’ “single hoop in the driveway” setup — you could also choose a half-court basketball court layout, which is 30 feet by 50 feet.

The ideal size for a DIY backyard basketball court is 30 x 30 feet. This offers you ample room to play above the 3-point line. If you prefer having a full court instead, you can make do with 46 x 78 feet. It may be smaller than standard and professional measurements, but it's the ideal size for both adults and children.

A typical backyard basketball court is 900 square feet or a 30' x 30' half-court, which has enough room for 3-on-3 play and shooting 3-pointers. In comparison, a full-sized NBA basketball court is 4,700 square feet and measures 94' x 50'.

The dimensions of a standard basketball court are 94 feet long by 50 feet wide, with a free-throw line 15 feet away from the backboard. If you don’t have that much space, it’s important to adjust the court size to fit your yard. A smaller backyard can still accommodate a basketball court, it just might need to be adjusted to fit the space.
