Why Us

Conversions planned around the existing court and intended use

Converting a tennis court to pickleball means addressing layout, net height, surface condition and line clarity before the court is ready for play.

Common Challenges

  • Unclear how to fit pickleball boundaries on the existing court

    Standard tennis court dimensions accommodate four pickleball courts, but placement and orientation affect play quality and line clarity

  • Worried the surface is not ready for pickleball

    Cracks, low spots or surface wear that did not affect tennis play can create dead zones or drainage problems for pickleball

How We Help

  • Four regulation pickleball courts per tennis court

    A 60-by-120-foot tennis court fits four 20-by-44-foot pickleball courts with proper spacing and orientation

  • Net height adjusted to 34 inches at center

    Pickleball nets sit 2 inches lower than tennis nets — conversion posts or adjustable net systems maintain correct height

  • Line systems that preserve or replace tennis markings

    Blended line systems use contrasting colors for dual-sport use, or dedicated pickleball lines replace tennis boundaries entirely

  • Surface preparation before line application

    Crack repair, low-spot filling and cleaning ensure lines adhere properly and the court drains correctly for pickleball play

Our Process

How Tennis-to-Pickleball Conversion Works

  2. Surface Prep & Line Application

    Cracks are repaired, low spots filled, and the surface cleaned before pickleball lines are applied using durable court paint

  3. Net Conversion & Final Check

    Net posts are adjusted or replaced to achieve 34-inch center height, and the court is inspected for line clarity and play readiness

FAQ

Common Questions About Tennis-to-Pickleball Conversions

Answers about layout, cost, surface requirements and dual-sport use for Richmond property owners.

A standard 60-by-120-foot tennis court accommodates four regulation 20-by-44-foot pickleball courts. Courts are typically oriented lengthwise along the tennis court with 10-foot spacing between boundaries. Dual-sport conversions may use two pickleball courts to preserve tennis play.
Conversion costs range from $2,000 to $8,000 depending on surface condition, line configuration and net system. Basic line striping with portable nets costs $2,000 to $3,500. Permanent net posts, surface repair and blended line systems run $4,000 to $8,000. Quotations reflect property conditions and project scope.
Yes. Blended line systems use contrasting colors — typically white for tennis and a second color like blue or green for pickleball. Players learn to follow the correct lines for each sport. Dedicated pickleball conversions remove or ignore tennis lines entirely for clearer boundaries.
Surface condition affects line adhesion and play quality. Cracks wider than 1/8 inch should be filled and sealed. Low spots that hold water create dead zones and drainage problems. Cleaning removes dirt and algae so paint bonds properly. Surface prep is included in most conversion quotations.
Underused tennis courts accumulate surface wear, cracks and drainage problems that worsen over time. Delaying conversion means higher repair costs when the project eventually starts. An unused court also represents lost recreation value and a property feature that does not serve current demand.
Incorrect court orientation creates glare problems or uneven play conditions. Lines placed over unrepaired cracks peel within months. Net height errors affect play and require rework. A rushed conversion without surface prep leads to ongoing maintenance and player complaints about court quality.
No. Work is completed by independent local Sports Court Installations in and around Greater Richmond, Virginia, including Chesterfield County, Henrico County, Goochland County, Hanover County and Powhatan County.
