- 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: holbrookpickle...?
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.
You did this by yourself with the rented excavator and skid steer?
@@hoanbui7003 No. I hired out everything but the paint and sod.
Get a bottle of Seal Master Stripe Rite and put it on after you tape but before you paint the lines next time. It will fill the voids and make sharp tape lines.
Great job. I'm in Alabama, so similar climate. Why did you acid wash the concrete before painting?
@@skip21al when concrete dries, it develops a layer on the top that will impact the adhesion of the paint, if I understand correctly. An acid wash is necessary to remove that film and lightly etch the new concrete in preparation for the paint
Yep.... Line Primer.... :)
All the places I've played the non volley zone was painted a different color. Why did you choose not to do that?
@@boosebill thanks for this question. I’ll say that having a different color court is not very common where I live so I don’t see it very often. I have seen them, but I wonder if it is more of a regional norm? Nevertheless, on my court there isn’t a very clean way to have a separate colored no volleyball zone due to the basketball key.
Looks pretty good but without some fencing I would think you are chasing a lot of balls.
@@valpro99 it’s actually not bad at all. The grass stops the balls fairly quickly
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!
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
Helpful! Appreciate it!
Thank you for sharing!
Great Vid thanks
Looks great
Noyce!
I know its a few years old but what was the approx cost?
@@tonybell9201 The concrete and grading was $13k. The plant was another $700 for material and I did it myself. The basketball hoop was $600 and the light was around $300. Tree removal was around $5k. All in all, right around $20k.
@@shirtandtieguy6768 great job!
Where did you get paint?
@@chadbolen7663 Sherwin Williams rounded it up for me.
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 we play basketball all the time. The light hangs quite high over the hoop and has not been hit by a basketball yet.
@@shirtandtieguy6768 Did you pour the concrete yourself? How much was the whole thing? I want one in my yard soooo bad. It looks like a dream!
@@networth00 I hired out the concrete and that portion was $13,000. All in I was around $20k, but I had $4500 worth of tree clearing to do. Did the paint myself. Price included the basketball hoop, but I got a smokin deal on it.
@@shirtandtieguy6768 Best part is you have all that shade on the court. I'm in South Florida and nobody can play during the day in the summer because of the heat. You place is so nice. Great job!!!
@@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.
How much did you spend
The concrete and grading was $13k. The plant was another $700 for material and I did it myself. The basketball hoop was $600 and the light was around $300. Tree removal was around $5k. All in all, right around $20k.
