Partnering with Custom Home Builders: Pre-Planning Your Indoor Court During Construction
In Wisconsin, the custom home business is booming. If you are a family looking to build your forever home, choosing a custom-built home in Milwaukee, Madison, or Green Bay can provide ample opportunities to add unique features, such as an indoor sports court.
While C&C Courts has retrofitted many homes with an indoor sports court, the best option is to include certain building parameters in your custom home build. Doing this can ensure your new indoor sports court fits perfectly within your home from the start. Let’s take a look at building an indoor sports court and how to ensure one will fit in your custom-built home.
Why Build an Indoor Sports Court?
Wisconsin has beautiful summers, but with that comes brutal winters. Having a backyard sports court is great for a few months out of the year, but what if you want to play in the winter without paying for a membership at a private club?
Building an indoor sports court provides a way for your family to get exercise and practice their favorite sports all year long, regardless of the weather. You’ll truly get your money's worth from an indoor sports court in Wisconsin.
Why is Retrofitting an Indoor Sports Court a Challenge?
Retrofitting an existing room with an indoor sports court is perfectly possible, but certain aspects of the room might make it more challenging. For example, if the ceilings are too low, you may be limited in what kind of court you can install. In addition, a smaller room means a smaller court, and that may make it harder to enjoy play with more people.
Planning an Indoor Sports Court in a Custom Home
If you’re already planning on building a custom home, you can plan ahead for your future sports court. Some ways you can ensure your new home can support a sports court include:
-
Asking for high basement ceilings
-
Request proper sub-flooring for sports court flooring
-
Request clear-span framing
-
Include buffer areas or runoff areas when choosing the room dimensions
-
High-impact wall padding around the lower perimeter of the wall
-
Include acoustic paneling for soundproofing
-
Dedicated HVAC and dehumidification
-
Additional storage space in the room for sports equipment
-
Space for spectators or lounges
-
Indirect LED lighting
-
Space for a multi-sport netting system
