Faqs

How much does it cost to build a pickleball court?

While the surface for the pickleball court is not expensive, it is always advisable to have the correct base for the surface. Most people unfortunately use a concrete base which cracks owing to expansion and contraction as temperatures differ during daytime and nighttime. These cracks show up on the surface, especially if you are playing on a hard court (acrylic court). The ideal surface for this type of surface would be asphalt but this could be expensive to build owing to the small size of the pickleball court. The top surface should always be put with care and cushion layers are important as they prevent injury and are softer on the calves and knees. A typical price range for the top surface, suitably engineered for the game, would be between Rs. 70 – Rs. 95 per sqft..

What's the best way to turn a tennis court into a pickleball court?

Add pickleball line markings, using a different colour, integrated into the tennis court. Use movable pickleball poles and net and you are ready to play.

What surface is best suited for a pickleball court?

The more advisable surface for pickleball would be a hard court/acrylic court. However, be careful that the product you use is not simply painting your floor. It is advisable to have adequate correct cushion layers to prevent injury or strain on your claves and knees. The UV fastness in the colours that you use is equally critical for it prevents quick fading. It is also possible to use artificial turf but you need to ensure that the pile height is low, material Is dense and that the stitch rate is high.

What is a pickleball court divider made of?

The dividers are usually made of mesh netting or vinyl/cardboard boards as they prevent the ball going to the adjacent courts. These can also be made aesthetically using artificial turf to create hedges between the courts. .

" The turf installed by Altius Sports provides a truly world-class surface for various sports ranging from football, badminton, volleyball, cricket, athletics to kabaddi and kho kho. It serves as a giant water harvesting plant, doing great service to the community by replenishing the water table season by season. Goes without saying that it has transformed our ever balding and difficult to maintain green patch into a delightfully inviting, dust free zone that everyone rushes to given any free moment. "

" Congratulations to Altius Sports on completing 10 successful years! Their TigerTurf, installed at our Naval Tata Hockey Academy, Jamshedpur,is really helping our players to improve their technique and playing skills.

"The American International School Dhaka contracted Altius Sports to do our renovation project on our soccer field. The timeline for completion was followed very closely and final deadlines were met. The school is very happy with the work Altius Sports did and everyone enjoys the field. The new turf meets our standards and the drainage system works much better than our previous field. We had huge storms with a great deal of rain over a 2 day period and the drainage worked beautifully as the rain water was absorbed without puddles on the field."
