Start with water
Survey the supporting base, identify ponding and give water a route away from the playing area. Open-grid surfaces do not remove the need for a functioning civil base.
KNOTTR OUTDOOR COURTS
Outdoor 3x3 basketball courts: surface, drainage, heat, light and public use.
Outdoor performance is controlled by the site as much as by the court tile or coating. Drainage, heat expansion, UV, wind, lighting spill, corrosion and public-use maintenance should be resolved before product selection.

PLANNING REFERENCE
Resolve the project logic before selecting the exact products.
This page answers one narrow planning question. Use the Technical Centre and Project Brief for the complete 3x3 system.
Design for the climate
Check heat expansion, intense UV, wind-driven rain, coastal exposure and maintenance access against the selected surface, backstop, fencing and lighting.
Public use changes the specification
Schools, councils and parks need maintainable edges, practical spare-part replacement, robust equipment and accessible circulation rather than event-only detailing.
PROJECT CHECK
Information worth confirming before the brief moves forward.
Survey levels and drainage
Confirm surface climate suitability
Review backstop corrosion / exposure
Control lighting spill and glare
Plan gates, accessibility and maintenance access

WHOLESALE & PROJECT SUPPLY
Turn the planning answer into a project-specific KNOTTR brief.
Apollo is supply-only. Final survey, civil works, foundations, electrical work, installation, statutory approvals and professional sign-off remain destination-project responsibilities unless expressly included.
