Wow so jealous of this set up! You did it right with the rubber cushion! I have a massive perfectly flat area at my Dads farm and its already brand new concreted. But it does have some premade cracks I need to fill with filler and painting lines. It wont be in your league but its a start!
Amazing finished court. Great decision to go with multiple layers to help reduce wear on your joints allowing longer or more playtime. Congrats on job well done
i don't notice a significant difference between this and other courts i play on. I feel like there might be "slightly" more spin on this, but not a big difference at all. It does seem slightly better on the joints though. I suspect I'll be happy we did it over time.
Thank you! The slab is 34x64. If I was doing it again I'd add slightly more to the width for the fence. I was initially thinking about putting it off the concrete but then changed my mind. because it couldn't be exactly on the edge, it ends up cutting off almost a foot on each side. So I'd either plan for fence outside the court, or make it at least 36 wide.
i did consider finishing it myself but overall i've been very pleased with the outcome. it was sort of a i don't know what i don't know and I felt like the price was fair. normally we diy almost everything. probably would have if we didn't get the cushion layers but i really didn't know what was needed for those. Gary did a great job though, very happy with the end result
Gary, the court finisher, is from Wisconsin, but we are actually in Tennessee. Not sure if there is anything special to do for the cold or not. I suspect it would be on the front end related to the concrete if anything, but I'm not 100% sure.
I can't really answer for them, but I'd say no. I just did my own, and we had to fill in the saw cuts with a concrete patch. It looked like the same type of product at the acid wash phase of the video. If you just did the resurfacer/ paint, it would run right off thru the saw cuts...
@@joemiles79I see, I’m about to paint my court but don’t want to see any lines because I have saw cuts on my concrete, you suggest to fill them in with a concrete patch ?
There is a pretty huge range depending on a lot of factors. The range is generally going to be 25-50k depending on how flat your yard is, whether you want cushion layers, how cheap/expensive concrete is in your area. We had to bring in a lot of stones to level ours which brought the cost up significantly and we went with the cushion layers as well. You might be able to do it “slightly” cheaper than the low end if you have a really flat yard and are friends with a concrete guy 😀 This was around 40k, which was about 10k more than I originally expected / was quoted because the guy miscalculated the slope of yard and therefore the amount of stones it would take to level it. I probably wouldn’t have been able to stomach it if I knew that ahead of time …. But I’m so glad I did it anyways. We absolutely love it.

Nice work !
Thanks for documenting and sharing your experience.
Thanks!
Thanks for posting this! I am thinking of building a single indoor pickleball court... (already built two indoor sand volleyball courts myself)
Beautiful court!
thanks so much!

Thanks! We really enjoy it and use it almost everyday!
@@SouthHavenCountryLiving No doubt!

Thanks! It really feels great to play on.
Thanks for sharing! Looks great!!! U need a poddy for your guests 🤣
Maybe one day!
Curious to see what would happen if you just paint it right after the concrete and add no cushion. Would the ball bounce the same?

Very nice and seems to be a hi-end product but no lights?
those are coming in the next video ;-)
Nice video 😊 What's the dimensions of your cement slab

Surprised they didn’t use tape when painting the middle three blocks ? You could have done the painting yourself I believe. Nice colors !

I notice you're in Wisconsin -- is there any special care needed for the courts when it snows and gets very cold?
Gary, the court finisher, is from Wisconsin, but we are actually in Tennessee. Not sure if there is anything special to do for the cold or not. I suspect it would be on the front end related to the concrete if anything, but I'm not 100% sure.
What size is your sport court?
Hi @samuraistabber, Our court is 34 ft x 64 ft.
I see your concrete had saw cuts on it, did the paint just fill those in ? Do you see it or feel it at all on the court ?
I can't really answer for them, but I'd say no. I just did my own, and we had to fill in the saw cuts with a concrete patch. It looked like the same type of product at the acid wash phase of the video. If you just did the resurfacer/ paint, it would run right off thru the saw cuts...
@@joemiles79I see, I’m about to paint my court but don’t want to see any lines because I have saw cuts on my concrete, you suggest to fill them in with a concrete patch ?
yeah the acrylic finish fills them in completely. they aren't noticeable at all to see and have no effect on play.
What was the total cost?
