Cost Considerations for New Court Construction

The cost of constructing a pickleball court varies. At a minimum, you’ll need portable nets, four racquets, balls, and the rental of a court, lighting, and fencing. Regardless of your budget, pickleball is an accessible sport and easy to fall in love with.

Important Considerations for Pickleball Court Flooring

Sound Absorption: Ensure the court is sound-absorbent to address potential noise complaints from neighbors.

Court Color: Choose a color scheme for your court surface.

Bounce Effect: Opt for flooring that reduces drag.

Friction: A surface with more sassafras is better for quick movements.

For resurfacing or building a new court, hiring a professional is worth the extra cost.

Installing a Pickleball Court

Prepare the Flooring: Spread out PVC flooring for a day to acclimatize.
