What did ChampCourts build in Rajokri, New Delhi?
An outdoor acrylic sports court of 3,100 sqft at a residential farm property in Rajokri, New Delhi, delivered for the builder and contractor Skylark Infra Engineering. The court carries a basketball key and three-point arc on red, plus a second court marked on red with a blue surround and green band for multi-sport use.
Skylark Infra Engineering, a builder and contractor, was working on a private residential farm property in Rajokri, New Delhi, and the project included a sports court in the garden beside the house. ChampCourts built that court on a concrete slab that was already in place, turning it into a coated, marked, playable surface.
The system on this court is an acrylic coating build with fibre mesh: one primer coat, two resurfacer coats, two cushion coats and two colour coats, finished with line marking. That is seven coats in all. The colours are a red playing field, a green basketball key, and a blue surround with a green band around the second court. Work was completed in October 2026, and the court is photographed here from bare slab to finished surface, in daylight and under the evening lights of the house.
What was on the site before the court went in?
A bare concrete slab between a hedge-lined boundary wall and the house. It had no coating, no colour and no markings: a hard, flat area, but not yet a sports surface. Everything on the finished court sits on top of that slab.
An acrylic court is a coating system, not a structure. It is only a few millimetres thick, and it follows the slab under it. That makes the concrete the foundation of everything that comes after: its levels decide how water runs off, and its condition decides how the coating holds.
On this site the slab was already in place, so our job started at its surface. Before any coating goes on, the slab is cleaned of dust and loose material so the primer can bond to sound concrete rather than to debris. Fittings in the court area, such as the covers you can see set into the finished surface, are worked around. If a slab has cracks, ponding or loose patches, those are treated before coating and quoted as their own line.
Why an acrylic court for an outdoor home court in Delhi?
Because acrylic is the coating system made for outdoor hard courts. It goes straight onto concrete, it can be built up in layers for grip and cushioning, it takes any combination of court colours, and when the colour eventually wears, it can be recoated without breaking out the slab.
A home court in Delhi lives outdoors all year: hot, bright summers, monsoon rain and cool winters. The surface has to stay bonded to the concrete through all of it, shed water across its surface, and keep its colour and grip in strong sun. Acrylic coatings are built for that kind of outdoor use, which is why they are the usual choice for outdoor basketball and multi-sport courts.
For a private property there is a second reason: design freedom. Acrylic colour coats can be laid out in zones, so a single slab can carry a red field, a green key, a blue surround and a green band, as it does here. The result reads as two distinct courts in one garden, matched to the house rather than looking like a public playground. And because the system is a coating, future maintenance is a recoat, not a rebuild.
What goes into a seven-coat acrylic court system with fibre mesh?
Seven coats in sequence over the concrete, plus fibre mesh: one primer coat to bond to the slab, two resurfacer coats to fill and level, two cushion coats for some give underfoot, and two colour coats for the finished surface. Line marking follows as a separate final step.
Coat-by-coat specification
The table below lists the coats of the Rajokri court in the order they were applied, with what each is for; the fibre mesh row records that mesh is part of the specified system.
| Layer | Coats | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Primer | 1 | Seals the concrete and gives the coats above something to bond to |
| Resurfacer | 2 | Sand-filled acrylic that fills surface pores and evens out the slab |
| Cushion | 2 | Rubberised acrylic that adds a little give underfoot |
| Colour | 2 | Red field, green key, blue surround and green band; sets the finished texture |
| Line marking | Final step | White basketball key and three-point arc, and the second court's lines |
| Fibre mesh | Included in the system | Reinforcing fabric bedded into the coating build over the slab |
| Area | — | 3,100 sqft, outdoor, completed October 2026 |
Each coat has to dry before the next goes on, which is why acrylic work is planned around the weather: coats are not laid on a wet slab or in rain. The two cushion coats are the difference between this build and a basic coating, and the fibre mesh adds reinforcement within the system. How many coats a court needs is a choice made at survey, based on how it will be used.
How was the court built, stage by stage?
In order: clean the bare slab, roll on the primer, squeegee two resurfacer coats, squeegee two dark cushion coats, spread the red, blue and green colour coats in their zones, then mask and paint the white lines. Every stage was filmed or photographed on site in Rajokri.
The primer went on first with a long-handled roller, in strips across the clean slab. The resurfacer coats came next, pulled across the court with a squeegee; they are what level the concrete's surface texture. The cushion coats followed, darker in colour and again spread by squeegee.
Then the colour coats: the red field, the blue surround and the green key and band, each zone masked and spread in turn. Two colour coats give an even, solid finish. Line marking came last, on the cured colour, with every line masked by tape before it was painted white.
Can one home court be used for basketball and other sports?
Yes. At Rajokri one 3,100 sqft slab carries a basketball key and three-point arc at one end and a separately marked multi-sport court at the other, each picked out in its own colours so the two areas read clearly and can be played on their own.
A full basketball court under the FIBA Official Basketball Rules is 28 metres by 15 metres, about 4,600 sqft before any run-off. Most homes do not have that space, and most families do not need it. What gets played at home is shooting practice, one-on-one and small-sided games around one basket, and the key and three-point arc are the markings that game uses. FIBA also governs 3x3 basketball, a game played at a single basket on a half court.
Putting the key and arc at one end left room for a second court on the same slab. Colour does the separating: the basketball area is red with a green key, while the multi-sport court has its own blue surround and green band. We plan these layouts from your actual slab dimensions, so both courts get usable space.
What decides the cost of an acrylic court in Delhi?
Five things: the court area in sqft, the number of coats in the system, whether fibre mesh or other base treatment is needed, the condition of the existing slab, and the line markings and colours you choose. We price each as its own line after a survey, so nothing is hidden inside a single rate.
Area comes first, which is why we always ask for your slab dimensions. The coating system comes next: this court used seven coats with fibre mesh, and the estimate names the exact build, coat by coat, so you can compare like with like. The slab matters too. A sound, clean slab like this one goes straight to primer, while cracks, ponding or loose patches add preparation lines before any coating starts.
Finally, markings and colours. Two courts on one slab means two sets of lines and more colour zones, and that shows up in the estimate as its own line. Builders and contractors get the same itemised format, so the court can sit cleanly inside a wider project budget. Every estimate shows GST separately. Ask for an itemised estimate →
What does the property have now?
A finished outdoor acrylic court in the garden, beside the house: a red basketball area with a green key and white three-point arc, and a multi-sport court beyond it in red, blue and green. It is ready to play.
Seen from the basketball end, the whole layout is visible at once: the green key and white arc in the foreground, the red field running away from the camera, and the second court in its blue surround at the far end, all on one continuous acrylic surface.
Care is simple. Sweep leaves and dust off regularly, wash with plain water, avoid sharp or studded footwear, and do not drag furniture across the surface. When the colour starts to fade or the texture feels smoother than it did, the court is due a recoat, and we quote that from its condition at the time.

FAQ
Can I build a basketball court at home in Delhi?
Yes, if you have a flat concrete slab or space for one. At a residential farm property in Rajokri, New Delhi, ChampCourts coated a 3,100 sqft slab with an acrylic system and marked a basketball key and three-point arc plus a second multi-sport court. A survey confirms the slab before any coating starts.
How much space does a home basketball court need?
Less than a full court. A full FIBA court is 28 metres by 15 metres, about 4,600 sqft, but home play centres on one basket. The Rajokri court fits a basketball key and three-point arc and a second multi-sport court into 3,100 sqft. Send us your dimensions and we will plan the layout.
How many coats does an acrylic sports court have?
It depends on the system chosen. The Rajokri court has seven: one primer, two resurfacer, two cushion and two colour coats, with fibre mesh and line marking. The number of coats is a choice made at survey, and your itemised estimate lists the exact build.
What is fibre mesh in an acrylic court?
Fibre mesh is a reinforcing fabric bedded into the acrylic coating build over the concrete slab. It was part of the system specified for the Rajokri court. Whether your court needs it depends on the slab's condition, which we assess during the survey.
Do you build sports courts for builders and contractors?
Yes. The Rajokri court was delivered for Skylark Infra Engineering, a builder and contractor, as part of a residential project. Contractors get the same itemised estimate as any client, with the court system, area and markings priced line by line so it fits into the wider project.
