New courts look awesome! Hopefully I'm able make it out to AZ to see them this year. Santa brought me the R1 5.5 Pro so I'm ready to play! Happy New Year!!
Have you considered adding a roof in the future? I see a lot of covered outdoor courts in Florida and wonder how much cheaper that is compared to fully covered indoors.
Thank you for sharing. I’m building 2 courts at my vacation rental in Hawaii. Can you advise where you purchased your removable net post and nets? Also, how did you make them removable?
Those are nice looking courts. I like your color choices. The pricing for post tensioned concrete seems a bit low, but it really depends upon site prep and overall concrete thickness. The area you're in looks flat, so that would lead to a lower concrete cost. The cost on your acrylic will vary widely across the country. Even here in Texas, the prices vary pretty drastically. I charge more than what you paid, but it's lower in Houston and higher in Dallas. As for the basketball goal, I think you overpaid considering your goal looks so light weight, unless the price included freight and installation. The cost on the fence seems about right, but that will vary based on the gauge of the wire. You mentioned it was light gauge and you also added the bottom rail. I think you got a really good deal on the fence. Have fun and thanks for sharing.
I agree with you on the pricing. We build courts here in OH and the concrete price as well as acrylics price seemed a bit lower than our market here. Likely has to do with prep process and supply like you mentioned. The only other recommendation I would give to others looking to build is to consider the option of a pro level temporary net on the one side so that you truly have a removable net without having to deal with the holes from the sleeves. Courts look good though!
Ideally, doing a court 34'x'64' gives you 7' on the sidelines but with my courts I did 32'x60' and it's totally fine. I have 6' on the sidelines but it would be better to have more if you have a divider fence. Without a divider fence my dimensions are idea. Good luck
Sorry if this has already need answered: Does the play surface feel hollow or thin upon splits steps. I have played on parking structures and that is the feel of play action I’m concerned about.
I drew up the plans and the concrete contractor took care of that and put tubes in the ground for fence sleeves and patched them up when it was complete.
Real nice job. I assume it should cost about half for one court. Say about $32k. I thought outdoor courts have some kind of surfacing, not just paint over concrete.
@@SteveAndSaraPickleball Thanks for your reply. Can you also tell me the PSI mix of the concrete? Also, in terms of post tension that was applied on the cables, do you have any numbers? I have seen that vary between contractors.
Metal way be way more expensive, I saw these bubble-looking structures. Seems like a great solution, really great airflow! Google bubble airdome tennis. @@SteveAndSaraPickleball
Building concrete courts is WILD. Absolutely brutal on your body. There isn't a less forgiving surface. There has to be some reason you chose concrete over asphalt. I just can't think of a good one.
why concrete base? I was a PE for a state netball center (same base structure). The design was limestone subase+ roadbase+ 10mm asphalt+paint. This is the norm for tennis courts in Australia, which last pretty well in the extreme outdoor environment. I guess you are only building two rather than 20 courts, it is not cost-effective to bring in LPS machine to get the grade done etc.
Honest opinion. I think the little fence separating the courts is useless and a waste of money and even potentially an obstacle if the ball manages to go that far after bouncing
no residential homes at all are best. I see these pickleball guys move to florida and put a court in the backyard. There goes the neighborhood. @@sara.ashpickleball
Terrible investment. Airbnbs are falling south. As a guy worth 22 million I stay away from management. In Arizona you’ll need real shade or you’ll be dealing with alcohol, sun and heat strokes. Take the hoop out. Hoops attract eggplant people.
7:30 is what you look for for the total costs of 2 post-tension courts.
Wow! The courts look amazing and this is a great video on the breakdown of the cost to build in Arizona!
Gorgeous!! Can’t wait to play on them.
Really cool to watch and learn! Always wondered what this could cost if I made one for my house.
Priceless!
Well done!
Beautiful!, perhaps ome good dark green backstop for the fencing on the ends would be stellar! Awesome job overall!!!
I think $64,000 for two pickleball courts that's not a bad price. In CA the cost is double.
Totally agreed in Cali.
What’s the hour rate for pickleball session?
Very interesting, thanks for the info!
Looks awesome!
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing the experience. 🧡🐳

Awesome:-)
that would be super fun to stay there.
Great courts!
I hope I will be there if I have a chance🙏
Very nice
Would love to visit/ rent an Airbnb. I’m in surprise close by.
Congrats on your beautiful courts. What material paints did you use on the courts.
Have you considered adding a roof in the future? I see a lot of covered outdoor courts in Florida and wonder how much cheaper that is compared to fully covered indoors.
Totally! On the wish list.
Love it! (but not the fencing between the courts... seems like you'd want to keep that open)
Hey you were my coach in Newport Beach!
Does wind hamper this outdoors without any screening in the fence?
Cool. What is post tension concrete?
Cables in the concrete for longevity.
Great colors
Did they broom the court after pouring the concrete....love the results...congratulations
I may do this at my Brookdale Farms company. We are located in Eureka Missouri.
Can you add the links to everything you purchased in the description?
In AZ looking to do this can you share who you had do the paint?
Thank you for sharing. I’m building 2 courts at my vacation rental in Hawaii. Can you advise where you purchased your removable net post and nets? Also, how did you make them removable?
How many years had the painter been painting courts? I didn’t catch it 😂
Over 35 years…. Very experienced and a perfectionist.

Can I come over?!
what is a good distance from the sideline to the fence to still allow around the post shots without slamming on the fence?
Normally 5' is good. Can be less.
Ideally, doing a court 34'x'64' gives you 7' on the sidelines but with my courts I did 32'x60' and it's totally fine. I have 6' on the sidelines but it would be better to have more if you have a divider fence. Without a divider fence my dimensions are idea. Good luck
How to get info on location amd cost of the airbnb with the courts shown in this video?
The airbnb hasn’t been built yet. Working that now and will post a video after that happens. Thanks
Sorry if this has already need answered:
Does the play surface feel hollow or thin upon splits steps.
I have played on parking structures and that is the feel of play action I’m concerned about.
Fence between the courts. The fence post and court post had to be away from the post tension cables. Did you do the layout for that?
I drew up the plans and the concrete contractor took care of that and put tubes in the ground for fence sleeves and patched them up when it was complete.
$65k sounds like a bargain for those 2 great looking courts. I would do it.
Real nice job. I assume it should cost about half for one court. Say about $32k. I thought outdoor courts have some kind of surfacing, not just paint over concrete.
It would be hard to get it down for just $32k but I got a real good deal.
You should’ve tried to make the courts a bit wider if you could’ve
Life Goals 😊
Looks amazing 👏🏾 but a regular noncontractor person will pay a lot more for incredible courts like that.
Interesting so it's not like.. your normal tennis court it's all concrete?
Did you do asphalt over the concrete, or put down extra layers of the base coating?
Just concrete and court paint over that. No asphalt.
asphalt does not do well in heat. He's in AZ i think he said.
How thick is the concrete slab?
@@AtlMaximus 5 inch thick
@@SteveAndSaraPickleball Thanks for your reply. Can you also tell me the PSI mix of the concrete? Also, in terms of post tension that was applied on the cables, do you have any numbers? I have seen that vary between contractors.
Are you ever considering putting in lights for night time play?
Yes! As soon as I get electricity on the land. I'd love to put a metal cover structure to for hot summer play. Still dreaming about all that.
Metal way be way more expensive, I saw these bubble-looking structures. Seems like a great solution, really great airflow! Google bubble airdome tennis. @@SteveAndSaraPickleball
do you make money off these or are these only for personal use?
Some people rent them on swimply and I teach there as well but it’s mainly personal use until I complete the airbnb part.
wow, this is what I wanted to do, looks great, can you give me a number of the contractor who did this?
Where's the lights?
Future phase after getting the house built since that needs permits.
Lighting?
Phase 2:-)
No lights?
In the future...

They last longer and crack less than asphalt.

It was just what the contractor recommended and had experience with.
Asphalt cracks in Arizona heat.
Honest opinion. I think the little fence separating the courts is useless and a waste of money and even potentially an obstacle if the ball manages to go that far after bouncing
I disagree. I get tired of balls coming onto my court.
You need center ankles
It would have been cheaper to use Pickleball United surfacing
You may need some kind of sun protection since your in Arizona
Total, about $64,400
$64,400 total
Glad looks like more of a commercial area. Nobody will care about the noise.
No HOA is the best area for pickleball.
no residential homes at all are best. I see these pickleball guys move to florida and put a court in the backyard. There goes the neighborhood. @@sara.ashpickleball
@@sara.ashpickleball Imagine living next to someone who installed a pickleball court in their backyard.
No lights? Can't play at night. All that time and money and can't play at night. Sad.
I had 2 installed that are much nicer than this for less than half that price
By whome?
@@frozenauna8733 Probably did it himself. $64k seems double what it should have cost.
This was no where near I thought it would cost lol
It's double what I thought it would cost.
Lo hacen para ustedes mismos para llenar el ego de su inglés ..

I don’t understand this country labor cost., that is ridiculous price for just cement pour.. this country is fucked up man
