If you want to create a pickleball court at home, it’s recommended that you have a space available that’s at least 30ft (9.14m) wide and 60ft (18.29m) long.
Although it’s possible to play pickleball on grass, ideally you’ll have a concrete base or area available. Grass is fine in the summer months, but the bounce will be reduced in the colder months of the year and you'll damage the turf if you play during or following wet weather.
You’ll also want to have:
• Line marking equipment like chalk, tape or rubber line markers
• A pickleball net
• Measuring equipment like a tape measure
The best way to start laying out your court is to start with the pickleball net. Once the net is positioned correctly, it can serve as a point of reference when you are marking out the rest of the court. Measure out the space you have available for your court, and place the pickleball net in the middle. If you have a space that is 60ft long, for example, position the net 30ft from the edge of the area, across the court.
Once the net is in position, mark out the two baselines 22ft (6.71m) from the net. The baselines should be the full width of the court - 20ft (6.10m).
