1/2 inch thick by 42 inches high by 72 inches wide. The official backboard in the NBA measures 3.5 feet high and 6 feet wide. Usually, it is made from tempered glass or fiberglass. Somewhere at the middle part of the backboard is a rectangle, which is used primarily for making bank shots. It measures 1.5 feet high and 2 feet wide.
These should be cut from plywood sheets, and must be equal in size. The backboards should measure 14 inches in height and 36 inches in width. The backboards should be placed 48 feet apart, facing each other, on level ground. This will determine the overall length of your horseshoe pit. 2. Mark out the edges of the playing field. The distance from the backboard to the outer edges of the pit should be 18 inches. This means that the total playing field will measure 72 inches by 48 feet. The playing field should end up looking like a rectangle. If the terrain doesn't permit this sort of exactness, try to make the field as rectangular as possible.
