Converting a tennis court to a pickleball court gives you flexibility, community engagement, and year-round fun. Many existing tennis courts sit unused or underutilized, while pickleball demand continues to soar.

Why Convert a Tennis Court to Pickleball?

Here’s why a pickleball court conversion makes sense:

  • Maximize Space: A single tennis court can be converted to fit up to four pickleball courts or two pickleball courts, depending on layout and player needs.

  • Lower Maintenance: Pickleball surfaces use similar court coatings and require less maintenance than full tennis courts.

  • Increased Accessibility: Pickleball’s smaller court dimensions (20 feet wide by 44 feet long) make it easier and more inclusive for players of all ages.

  • Dual Use: Want both? We can create a tennis and pickleball setup where your court can be used for both tennis and pickleball very easily.

How Many Pickleball Courts Fit on One Tennis Court?

That depends on how you’d like to use the space:

  • One Tennis Court → Four Pickleball Courts: The most common full conversion, perfect for communities and clubs.

  • One Tennis Court → Two Pickleball Courts: Great for smaller setups or shared use with tennis.

  • One Tennis Court → One Pickleball Court: Ideal for private homeowners or limited space areas.

A standard tennis court is 36 feet wide and 78 feet long, which easily allows multiple pickleball courts to fit while keeping proper court dimensions and spacing.

Every tennis to pickleball court conversion is unique, depending on your existing tennis court condition, surface type, and how many pickleball courts you want to fit.

Here’s how our process works:

How the Tennis to Pickleball Court Conversion Works

  • Step 1. Inspect and Plan Your Layout

    We start by inspecting your existing court, whether it’s asphalt, acrylic, or concrete, to ensure it’s structurally sound. Then we plan your layout to determine if your standard tennis court can support one pickleball court, two pickleball courts, or four pickleball courts.

  • Step 2. Prepare the Court Surface

    Before marking, we clean the court surface, repair any cracks, remove vegetation, and check for drainage or low spots. This ensures a smooth, safe, and regulation-ready pickleball court surface.

  • Step 3. Apply New Pickleball Lines and Paint

    Using professional-grade line paint, we mark new pickleball lines according to USA Pickleball specifications.

  • Step 4. Adjust or Install Nets

    Depending on your preference, we can lower the tennis net to the height for pickleball (34 inches at the center), install new pickleball net posts, or use a portable net system for shared courts.

  • Step 5. Final Inspection and Game-Ready Setup

    Once your pickleball conversion is complete, we’ll make sure the pickleball court’s layout meets regulation pickleball standards and looks flawless. You’ll also receive maintenance tips for keeping the surface clean and protected.
