According to the USAPA rulebook, players should consider the minimum pickleball play area to be 30′ by 60′ (9.14m by 18.29m), but a 10-foot surrounding margin is ideal. This extra space gives players plenty of safe space for when the ball goes out of bounds.

The court size is 20' by 44'.

Both are an acceptable surface for pickleball.

A court can be resurfaced a minimum of 28 days after pouring. The cement or asphalt needs this time to cure.

34" in the middle and 36" on the sides.

Most players prefer an inground net meaning the holes have been core drilled and the pole sleeves have been set with cement. The net poles easily slip in and out of the sleeves allowing easy takedown if other sports are being played on the court. Roller nets that lock in place are also popular.

A squeegee is used to apply the acrylic paint therefore all courts have natural squeegee lines. Pickled court likens these lines to "vacuum lines."

Using cement paint is overall a bad idea! It will peel and chip over time, becomes slippery when wet, is difficult to keep clean, and has to be "ground down" if the court is ever changed to resurfacing.

The post-tension cable method has several advantages over rebar. With a post-tension court, less concrete is required and there are no saw cuts or control joints in the concrete so unwanted cracks are less likely to "mirror" through the resurfacer. The advantage of a rebar court is it's much more cost effective.

Medium broom finish.

Watering down your new concrete slab 5-10 times per day during the first seven days after pouring is known as "moist curing." This method (versus "dry curing") will make your concrete court stronger and Pickled Court highly recommends this method.

Make sure there is a .83% to 1% slope on your court so water can quickly drain after it rains.
