How to Line a Pickleball Court
Pickleball is growing fast, and whether you're setting up a backyard court or upgrading a community space, crisp, accurate lines are key for a great game. A court with well-defined lines makes play more enjoyable and ensures fairness. Here’s how to get those perfect lines like a pro.
Step 1: Gather Your Materials
Before you start, make sure you have everything you need:
Measuring tape – Accuracy is everything!
Chalk or string – For preliminary markings.
Painter’s tape – Keeps lines crisp and sharp.
High-quality court paint – Long-lasting and weather-resistant.
A roller or brush – For smooth application.
Step 2: Measure Twice, Mark Once
A regulation pickleball court is 20 feet wide by 44 feet long. Use chalk or string to outline the court boundaries, centerline, and non-volley zones (aka the "kitchen"). Double-check your measurements—you want precision, not guesswork!
Step 3: Tape it Down
Apply painter’s tape along your markings to create sharp edges. Press the tape firmly so the paint won’t bleed through. This step makes all the difference in getting clean, professional-looking lines.
Step 4: Paint Like a Pro
Using a roller or brush, apply thin, even layers of high-quality court paint. Avoid thick coats to prevent uneven drying. Let the first layer dry, then apply a second coat for durability.
Step 5: The Big Reveal
Once the paint is completely dry, carefully remove the tape to unveil your crisp, perfect lines. Step back and admire your work—it’s game time!
