Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in the U.S., and demand for high-quality courts is rising quickly. Whether you're a homeowner, school, fitness center, or municipality, investing in professional pickleball court construction and pickleball court installation can provide lasting value, recreational enjoyment, and increased property appeal.
Why Build a Pickleball Court?
Pickleball combines elements of tennis, badminton, and ping pong, making it fun, accessible, and perfect for all age groups. It requires less space than tennis and can be played indoors or outdoors, making it versatile and easy to integrate into existing facilities or residential areas.
Planning Your Pickleball Court Project
Successful court construction begins with proper planning. Choose a location that is level, well-drained, and has sufficient space for players to move safely around the court. A regulation pickleball court measures 20' x 44', but you’ll need a total area of at least 30' x 60' to accommodate fencing and player movement.
Orientation matters, too. North-south alignment is ideal for reducing sun glare during play.
Steps in Pickleball Court Construction
Site Preparation
The area must be cleared, leveled, and graded. Proper drainage is essential to avoid water accumulation that can damage the court.Base Installation
A stable base is the foundation of a long-lasting court. Concrete is preferred for its durability, while asphalt is a cost-effective alternative.Surface Coating
Acrylic sports surfacing is applied to enhance grip, durability, and playability. It also gives the court its distinctive color and texture.Striping and Marking
Accurate striping is critical for regulation play. This includes baselines, sidelines, service boxes, and the non-volley zone (also called the kitchen).Net System Installation
A regulation net is 36 inches high at the sidelines and 34 inches at the center. Posts must be securely anchored and properly spaced.

Upgrade your court with:
LED lighting for night play
Perimeter fencing
Windscreens
