How many ways are there to Line a Basketball Court?

• Hand Marking and Painting Lines:

Pros: No expensive tools required.
Cons: Hand measuring takes a long time, requires geometry to get lines square. Masking is slow and is particularly difficult for curved lines. Using a String and chalk to set the 3 Point line is problematic with string stretch.

• Using a mechanical double tape layer:

Pros: Tape makes it very easy to spray a perfect line.
Cons: Tape Machine itself is very expensive. Measuring and marking by hand still takes a lot of time. You still have to tape by hand the key blocks. Curves are hard to tape without incremental expensive equipment.

• Using Pizza Box stencils:

Pros: Inexpensive stencils. Can use spray paint to speed painting.
Cons: Kits have a large number of stencils that take time to layout properly. Folded stencils do not lay flat. Have to fill in paint the breaks. One time use only.

• Using a Line Striping machine:

Pros: Fast to paint
Cons: Outside only. Requires hand measurement and marking. The painted line is not as sharp as a taped or stenciled line. Curved lines are tricky.

• Using Stencil Ease stencils:

Pros: Layout is fast and easy using basic tools. Stencils allow easy, fast painting with sharp lines. Stencils can be used many times.
Cons: Must fill in breaks.
