Questions and Answers to new building
Ideal course construction / surface
The ideal surface is asphalt. Concrete is great, but cracks more quickly than asphalt.
Asphalt paving guidelines on request.
Which flooring should be chosen?
We work with ReboundAce, the best rubber known from tennis. See sample pictures.
What are the costs per place?
Depending on the product, a pitch costs between CHF 8,000 and CHF 15,000. In addition, there is the work on the ground and the net, although there are also big differences here.
What kind of net is recommended?
Depending on your requirements, we recommend a mobile or a relatively vandal-proof network.
On which surface can I set up a temporary or mobile pickleball court?
The best way to create temporary pickleball courts is on a homogeneous surface. Whether this is sealed concrete with a PickleRoll court or a temporary wooden court, anything is possible! Even on a meadow, a temporary wooden surface with a pickleball court can be installed if you have enough money.
How many pickleball courts fit on one tennis court?
Depending on the size of the tennis court, the answer is 2 or 4.
A pickleball court (including run-out) should not be smaller than 7.5×17 meters. But ideally larger, see next question
See also the specifications of the Swiss Pickleball Association.
You can find many examples in the online image search.
How big should the space ideally be?
Officially, a pickleball court is 9.14 x 18.29 meters. However, 10 x 20 meters is recommended for tournaments.
A smaller pitch can also be built for popular sports, but it should not be smaller than 7.5 x 17.5 meters!
The room height should be at least 4.5 meters, anything above 5 meters is ideal. The height does not have to be over the entire court, but mainly in the middle above the net.

What is the ideal surface for temporary pickleball courts?
In principle, pickleball can be played well on any homogeneous surface. This makes the sport so accessible to the whole community. Most existing tennis courts or badminton courts are ideal for offering pickleball. First of all: outdoor tennis courts with clay do not work.
It is important that the ball bounces well and that it does not slip.
Well suited
- Rebound Ace
- Carpet in a tennis hall, works better than expected
- Carpet with granulate (if not too much granulate)
- Tartan (school playground)
- Asphalt - should be as homogeneous as possible
- gym at my school? The badminton court can be used well as long as the floor is not too soft. The floor lacks grip, so the ball slips. But for hobby play, this is usually enough. For children, even the lines are fine, even if the kitchen line is 15 cm too close to the net. When adults play, the kitchen line should be marked correctly, e.g. with field markers.
Not suitable
- Clay court
- Lawn
- Coarse-grained concrete / asphalt
Jump off
Depending on the hardness of the ground, the ball bounces more or less. The balls are usually classified as indoor or outdoor balls. An indoor ball is not only softer, but also generally has fewer but larger holes (usually 26 holes). This means that the ball has more air resistance and is softer. A ball classified as outdoor usually has 38 or 40 smaller holes and is therefore faster and harder.
This also influences the jump.
Is the ball slipping?
The pickleball always slides on a smooth floor. This is why professional pickleball floors are equipped with a grip.
Although the bounce is good on a smooth, sealed concrete floor, pickleball can no longer be played optimally due to the high slipperiness.
In addition to the field markers, you can also use EasyLines or adhesive tape to mark a field.
What are the costs per place?
Very low.
Net, lines, done.
How many pickleball courts on a tennis court
Depending on the size of the tennis court, we recommend creating 4 or 2 pickleball courts. Many examples can be found online.
How big should the space ideally be?
For school sports, 6.5 x 15 meters is also sufficient. This gives you almost no run-out, but is sufficient for children, see Details here.
Better are 7.5 x 17 meters and more.
The room height should be at least 4 meters, 5 meters or more is also ideal here.
