• Step 1: After selecting the area that you want to put the court in, tape the end of your string <br />to the ground. <br />• Step 2: measure out 20-feet in as straight of a line as possible. Pull the string taught and <br />tape the end to the ground. <br />• Step 3: At a right-angle to your second corner, measure out 44-feet and tape that end to the <br />ground, (a large carpenter’s square can come in handy here). <br />• Step 4: Repeat Step 2 at a right-angle to your last corner and then repeat step 3 at a right <br />angle to that corner. (In measuring your final 44-foot section you may realize that you’re off by a few <br />inches, in which case you’ll need to adjust the positioning of the previous corners to fix your angles). <br />• Step 5: Once you have four square corners and the distances accurate, use your court tape <br />or line spray and go over the top of your new rectangular line. <br /> <br />Now that you have the basic outline in place setting up the rest of the lines will be easy. <br /> <br />• Step 6: Measure 22-feet from the end-line and set a net post up. From the opposite end <br />corner do the same and set up your net. <br />• Step 7: From each corner measure 15-feet towards the net and make a mark. Tie a line <br />between the marks and paint or tape over it; these are your volley lines. <br />• Step 8: Measure in 10-feet on your new volley lines and make a mark. Do the same on each <br />end-line. Tie a line between the marks and paint or tape over it. <br />• Step 9: Start playing some pickleball! <br /> <br />If doing it yourself isn’t quite your style, or if you have a pad that needs to be improved before <br />playing on it, call your local sports court surfacer and they can paint professional lines or resurface <br />your existing pad to your specifications. Resurfacing costs will be specific to your court site, but <br />generally will range between $3,500-$5,000. <br /> <br />Another option for your court surface is a tile court system such as VersaCourt. Some players don’t <br />like the way the ball bounces on a tile court system, but we’ve gotten fairly good reviews about them <br />recently. The primary benefit of a VersaCourt system is that its design drastically reduces the impact <br />on joints and the lower back. It’s grippy surface reduces the risks when lunging or jumping for balls. <br />The added safety and reduced wear and tear on your body from a VersaCourt system will cost <br />approximately $5,000-$8,000.
