Well... I want a basketball hoop up. We have a hoop and pole, but we need cement. Does anyone know approximately how much it costs per square foot? Or any cost they know of that they might have paid for a cement pouring so I can estimate?
to have someone come in and do it right it will cost about 7 dollars a sq. ft.
To have cement delivered, you should call a delivery service. Have the dimensions of the basketball court ready, including length, width, and depth. Remember to include any reinforcing bars (rebar) that may be necessary. You will need to have all that type of construction done before you have the ready mix delivered. Sneak a peak at one of the many do it yourself books that Home Depot has concerning pouring concrete. You can do it yourself, but you have to be ready when the truck comes. He charges by the hour ! Good luck.
How Much Does Cement Cost
Calculate the area and volume of the court you desire. Keep all units of measure the same. Assume the following Area = length x width volume = length x thickness I cubic yard of cement = 27 cubic feet =(3' x 3' x 3') Example: 10' x 10' court that is 3 thick area = 10' x 10' = 100 sq ft. Volume = 100 sq ft. x 3/(12'/ft)= 100sq ft x .25'= 25 cubic feet. 25 cubic feet = 25ft^3 / 27ft^3 = .92 cubic yards of concrete. Figure about $55 to $75 per cubic yard of cement. Your court would cost about $50 to $69 for the concrete. Or in other words about $0.50 to $0.69 per square foot. This does not include labor. Then consider other materials such as re-mesh or re-bar to add strength to the concrete.
