In this video, I explain some of the processes that I took to build a backyard Pickleball court as well as lessons learned along the way.
Here is a link to the Frog Tape that gave cleaner lines: amzn.to/3X0dfVy
Here is the basketball hoop: amzn.to/3wUm9ta
Here is the court light: amzn.to/4efyngX
Here is a line of pickleball paddles that I think are fantastic. Use code BLAKEBOLTON20 for a 20% Discount: holbrookpickleball.com?

For the lines call sport master and they sell line primer. It seals the lines and makes the lines super sharp. Also if you buy sport masters paint they sell acrylic resurfacer and you apply it with a squeegee, it will make the surface smooth. It uses silica sand. It also couple thousand dollars but it lasts much longer and it will look much better.

wow what a great job. looks fantastic. imho no need for a fence with the grass, it looks too good just blending in with no obstruction

Positive to broom finish is that people won’t slip when planting feet outside the painted court

Right off the bat, I can see that a person can get hurt by stepping off any of the concrete area onto the grass when chasing down a ball or trip when coming onto the cement after being on the grass.

Great observation. It hasn’t happened yet, but definitely something to consider.

Also, someone might skin their knee if they run and fall down on the court. Should have made it out of foam and recommend all players wearing knee, elbow, and wrist pads, full gloves and helmets, and playing inside an inflatable bubble. Think of the children!

Looks pretty good but without some fencing I would think you are chasing a lot of balls.

Does anyone actually shoot basketball? Seems like the light would get in the way since you said it's there most of the time.

@@networth00 thanks so much! It isn’t perfect, but it gets used frequently. Definitely the best upgrade we have done at the house. I hear you about South FL. I was in Miami Shores last month and went to play at a park around 5pm. I thought I was going to melt or combust. Very hot.
