I build these for a living and we use special cables for the courts NOT REBAR. We use actual pickleball court materials sourced from a private manufacturer hence why these guys don’t have them I think. And it needs to be graded with a Laser Grader which we use on all courts. It is unacceptable to not use a laser grader and use only the materials we get from our manufacturing company.
The finish- after we place the concrete, the next day we will come back and pre stress the cables that are on two side of the court cut through the concrete forms, and we have the tubes and plastic parts in the hole in the concrete form, we stress the cables at 2000 psi and take the forms off. then come back 7 days later , stress the cables at 7400psi (80%) of its capacity. Also we take the polyethylene plastic off of the court that’s put down in the very beginning. And in total it needs to cure for 28 days. Then we paint it, which is silica sand with special paints. Usually the courts I build are blue and green, but I’ve done two recently and one now that is all green customer preference. Hope I helped,
i was told a broom finish is not necessary as the paint has sand embedded in it... broom finish makes painting the lines without leakage under the tape that much more difficult??
Everything I have read says you need a broom finish for there to be good adhesion for the paint--and they have a special step for getting the lines not to bleed.
You poured a driveway concrete slab, topically they are 4” thick. It has a broom finish, that’s going to be terrible for a pickle ball! Makes no sense. So!!!!
do you need a moisture barrier?
And the paint application is what I was watching for... thanks
Yo dope video fellas! All the steps about making the pickleball court were super detailed!! Top notch video quality as well!! 👌🏾
How much did this cost?
how much did the concrete cost?
How thick was the slab?
Like to see the next steps... painting, lines, net etc. Would of been great to see it all.
i assumed there would be a softer coating on top of the concrete, such as asphalt?
Gotta love the music!
I think the whole court is on fire! Light the way, jesus!
Surely there is something you can tell us about the finish.

@@HeathenFitnesshow much does one court cost? For the court and labor
@Skorzeny14996 thank you for your input! Not really sure what the point of that video was for
@@HeathenFitness thanks for the details! you should make a video/blog post

@@RyanPatenaude Thanks Ryan..whats that special step... i read primer helps avoid bleeding..not sure
Nice work
3:17 South side!
You guys aren't going to show us how to install the nets?
This is how to pour a concrete slab
This is so gangsta. Love the lack of any pickleball specific info. How about tue vapor barrier needed not needed?
Just saying should have put a vapor barrier. Also should have put the paint process. Great video
Eminem had great flow
You need the paint!
Nice video but needed more trap beats 💀

Makes no sense.
So!!!!
Holy crap thought this guy was Channing Tatum.. looks just like him.
Yall didnt do no cuts??
Keep your piece near your coffee when you live in the ghetto?
About 8 inches thick
Does it need to be that thick? 4” is standard usually
No vapor barrier? Ouch…
@@kellenfleener why do they need a vapor barrier? It’s outside. Come on. 😂
@@aleosorio23no 4” is good enough. 8” is what we pour for extremely heavy trucks driving on. This thick for a court is overkill.
@@shanksta81 if they’re going to paint the court with legit court paint, the water will start to want to come back up under and bubble the paint.
A good video, but the title is wrong. This is how to pour a slab, and nothing to do with pickleball lol
