Pickleball Construction
The compact Pickleball court is only the quarter of the size of a tennis court, dimensions are
60 feet x 30 feet compared to tennis court dimensions which are 114 feet x 56 feet meaning
if you are short of space, you can still have a court to play on all year round on a smaller plot
of land.
Turn your tennis court into a pickleball court.
You can fit up to four pickleball courts to one tennis court and it’s super easy to set one up.
What is pickleball?
Fast becoming one of the most popular racket sports in the world, pickleball brings together some of the best elements of tennis, badminton and table tennis, into a fun and exciting game for people of all ages and abilities.
Played on a court the same size as a badminton court – and using a shorter tennis-style net – players use paddles to hit a plastic ball between one another. You can play as both singles and doubles, and it’s a great way to exercise with friends and family or meet new people.
While there are many similarities with tennis, there are some key differences. For example, the ball must bounce once on each side before you can volley and you can’t play volleys from inside the kitchen sink (a marked-out area close to the net).`

The spec for a Pickleball courts play area is 44 feet (13.41m) long and 20 feet (6.09m) across. On either side of the net there are:
- right and left service areas, both 15 feet (4.57m) long and 10 feet (3.05m) across
- a non-volley zone (also known as 'the kitchen') that runs across the full width of the court and is 7 feet (2.13m) long from the net.
The height of a pickleball net should be 34 inches (86.36cm) at the centre and 36 inches (91.44cm) at the sides.
No fence is required for a Pickleball court, unless you want one!

Our sincere thanks to you and your father for the excellent work that you have done on our tennis courts. We are delighted with the results, and hope that they will now give many years of continued pleasure to our hirers
The court is fantastic, we couldn't be more delighted with your company's work.
Many thanks for dealing with my tennis court so efficiently and professionally. For an old court with a lot of weed and moss growth it now looks so much better after the treatments and the new paint. I also appreciate your very honest advice about the future of the court and I will certainly contact you for any further work that might be planned.
Thank you Kris and his team for an amazing job. We love what Kris has done to the court and can’t thank him enough.
Thanks for designing and building me the perfect tennis court/multi-games area for my family and garden.
