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. -Derek
34x64. That’s the recommended size and what is on the pro tour, but I’d note that I wish I had made it slightly bigger. When we started we didn’t originally plan for the fence on the concrete and that takes away almost a foot on each side. You want the playable area to be 34x64. Because of the slope the fence outside of the concrete wasn’t a great option for us but that could be for some.
when you look at the unfinished raw concrete shot with the net in place there is 4-5 feet on the sides which is more than enough for hi level amature play. The more than generous depth behind baseline is where some $$ could be saved
I actually agree mostly. The court is 34x64 which is the recommended size and gives 7 feet on each side, but I initially wasn't planning on the fence being on the court. For various reasons we ended up doing it that way and that cuts off a foot or so on each side. If I could do it again I would add 1-2 feet on each side and make it 36 or 38 by 64. That being said, very very rarely has anyone gotten to the fence, it's mostly fine. we've had a few ATP's but it does make it ever so slightly harder. Alas this is a good suggestion for anyone else considering building a court. If you're going to put a fence on the court, give yourself another foot or two.
yeah we actually considered that and played for a bit like that. we still ended up with too many balls going off right and left and it got to be pretty annoying because of the significant drop off. (we just had a bucket of balls but still ended up with a ton of balls to pick up at the end. @@andyespenan5919
I would of made a clay court instead. Can you not find brick clay? Usually baseball infield supply companies will carry it or make it for you. Tennis clay is 1/8 in minus. If you live in a dry climate you can just level the earth, compact, and place two inches of clay. If you live in an area with a lot of rain you need a substrate layer or at least canals trenched with substrate to allow drainage. I've put together a clay court (from major league clay supplier) for 2k USD

Pickleball is America's fastest-growing sport and we like it #Pickleball
it's fantastic! we love it
I would love something like this in my backyard. Such a great layout too! What does a project like this run if you don’t mind me asking?

Where there's a Dill, there's a way. 🙂
@everyonehasadream Yes, absolutely! Thanks for watching our video! :)
its tiffin time
what is the size of whole concrete?
34x64. That’s the recommended size and what is on the pro tour, but I’d note that I wish I had made it slightly bigger.

There's not enough room between the sidelines and the wall/fence. People will run into it on wide shots.

@@SouthHavenCountryLiving Seen places that dont put the fence just in that area and use a low padded barrier to stop low balls.

This is great. I live on a farm and play indoors. Now go and make sure you have 5 kids. We need more high IQ babies.
Alot of rebar
