Residential Specialty Project:
Pole Barn Basketball Court | Year-Round Space for Recreation and Play
Delavan, Wisconsin
Project Overview:
Built for year-round activity on a residential property in Delavan, this indoor basketball court creates a dedicated space for recreation, training, and gathering. Designed to accommodate both basketball and volleyball, the structure provides the height and open space needed for uninterrupted play.
With the ability to open the building to the outdoors, the space easily transitions from a private court to a more social, open-air environment during warmer months.
The Building:
This 44′ x 87′ x 20′ post-frame building is designed to support large clear-span space and the vertical clearance required for indoor sports. The gable truss system and 2/12 roof pitch provide structural efficiency while maintaining a clean, low-profile exterior.
Finished with charcoal roofing, gray steel siding, and a charcoal wainscot, the building delivers a durable, low-maintenance exterior. Inside, a full liner package protects the structure while creating a finished interior suitable for recreational use.
Four overhead doors along the back wall allow the building to open directly to the outdoors, increasing airflow and extending the usable space beyond the structure.
Custom Features:
- Clear-Span Interior: Post-frame construction allows for a wide-open interior without columns, providing uninterrupted space for basketball, volleyball, and other activities
- Ceiling Height: A 20-foot building height accommodates full gameplay, including shooting arcs and recreational use without restriction
- Roof Design: A 2/12 gable roof pitch with a gable truss system supports structural performance while maintaining a streamlined exterior profile
- Interior Protection: A full liner package helps protect interior surfaces from impact while creating a more finished and durable environment
- Overhead Doors: Four overhead doors along the back wall allow the space to open to the outdoors for ventilation, access, and expanded use
- Exterior Finish: Gray steel siding with a charcoal roof and matching wainscot provides a cohesive, low-maintenance exterior
- Multi-Sport Use: The layout supports basketball, volleyball, and other recreational activities, making it a flexible space for year-round use
