Do
you have a love for extreme sports, but you’d rather indulge in your
favorite pastime somewhere more private? If you have the space, it
might be time to transform your backyard into your personal sports
destination. Here’s what to do if you’re thinking about building an
extreme outdoor sports arena in your backyard — because anywhere
else simply won’t do!
Do you have
more than enough space to use?
The size of your backyard will
be one of your foremost considerations, as it’ll dictate how large
you can go with your outdoor sports arena. The size of your yard
will also dictate which types of extreme sports you can
realistically go with at the end of the day. For example, you may
need a considerably larger piece of land for a dirt bike track than
for a mini golf course. You’ll also need to consider the lay of the
land regarding how level you want it to be, in the case of a
basketball court, for instance. Or, you’ll need to make arrangements
if your dirt bike track requires a lot more layers of compact earth
to get
the whoops or
rollers you would envision on a real motocross track.
Will it be
allowed?
Before going ahead with your installation, you’ll first have to
check in to see what the zoning
bylaws are in your location.
This includes any restrictions set forth by your homeowners
association. Then, you’ll also need to check with your neighbors to
ensure they are okay with your prospective development to prevent
disputes or complaints further down the road.
Invest in the
proper lighting
The right lighting will be of absolute importance, more so for the
safety of the people using your extreme sports track. Furthermore,
you’ll ideally want to make the most of your extreme backyard sports
ground come rain or shine. If you’re a little unsure of which type
of lighting to use, these
LED stadium lights may be ideal.
Make sure you read up on the applicable case studies regarding the
best lighting practices for sports fields from collegiate all the
way to professional sports levels. You’ll also get a much better
idea of the type used indoors, as opposed to outdoor sporting
arenas, as well as the intensity of lighting you’ll need to light up
a mid-size to large outdoor complex.
Safety first
Suppose you’re considering installing a wave pool, but you’d prefer
to have a fence surrounding your new pool area for safety's sake. If
this is the case, you’ll need to consult with a reputable
fencing contractor to
ensure that the job gets done correctly and safely. Also, be sure to
check their credentials so they don’t cause damage to any
underground structures unintentionally.
If you are unsure of where to look or who to go with at the end of
the day, reading up on company reviews online can provide you with
an accurate idea of what their service levels are like from the
mouths of customers themselves. Also, be sure to meet with them
ahead of time so you can discuss all the costs involved. This way,
you aren’t caught unawares by any hidden fees down the line.
Benefits of
going with your backyard installation
Going with your own backyard installation is sure to be a dream if
you’ve always envisioned a space of your own where you
can do tricks.
Furthermore, you’ll be able to enjoy it at your own leisure at a
fraction of the cost you would be able to elsewhere, which is why so
many people are gravitating
toward this savvy investment.
Certainly, building your own outdoor sports arena is sure to be a
fun investment. However, be sure to make it safe with the correct
lighting and such to ensure you and your guests enjoy your outdoor
paradise for many incredible years to come.
