How to Build an Outdoor
Pickleball Court
•
Consider the Space
– This should be the first aspect you look at. The standard size of a
typical pickleball court should be in the back of your mind. It is also
possible to adjust the size based on your own program needs.
•
Choose Court Surface Materials
– Having determined the type of space you will be working with, the next
step is to consider the types of materials you would like to use for the
court. Some of the most common pickleball court surfaces are,
concrete –this is best for durability and for its value--asphalt, and snap-
together plastic. Asphalt is a good option if you are working with a tight
budget, but it will require additional upkeep at some point. Snap-
together plastic is mostly helpful when you don’t want to permanently
alter the multipurpose court.
•
Have Perimeter Fencing
– Fencing is very important as it encloses the ball within the court and
also offers security for both the players and the spectators during the
games. There are various types of fences for pickleball courts, but wire
fences are most commonly used. These fences allow the spectators to
see in and out of the court.
