Additionally, there are three reasons why steel is the optimal choice for indoor basketball gym:
- According to the National Basketball Association, court dimensions must be exactly 94’ in length and 50’ in width. Also, the indoor space must have a ceiling that is at least 23’ in height. Factoring these requirements into the equation, steel buildings are perfectly suitable to house indoor basketball courts. In fact, you could have as many as three regulation-sized basketball courts placed side-by-side under the same steel building roof!
- Construction of steel indoor basketball courts is must faster than other building types. Because General Steel indoor basketball facilities are shipped with everything needed to erect the structure, overall construction times can be reduced by 50% or more compared with other building structure types.
- Steel-built indoor basketball facilities are less expensive to maintain. The protective properties of steel combined with deep-channel walls that are easy to insulate make for an exceptionally energy-efficient building that is inexpensive to heat and cool.
