DIY Pickleball Court

A tutorial on how to paint a backyard Pickleball court using the SportMaster PickleMaster surfacing system. Basketball lines are also included.
I purchased the supplies from SealMaster (sealmaster.net). If you poke around on their website, you'll find a link to their catalog for sport surfacing materials (www.sportmaster.net/catalog/).
Here's a list of what I purchased:
Qty: 2 C1650P ACRYLIC ADHESION PROMOTER
Qty: 8 C1330P SPM ACRYL RESUR W/SAND
Qty: 10 C1297P PICKLEMASTER RTU BLUE-PAIL
Qty: 1 C1610G STRIPE RITE GAL
Qty: 2 C1620G T/C WHITE LINE PAINT TEXTURED
Qty: 3 C1520G ACRYLIC CRACK PATCH NEUTRAL
For what it's worth, I had some leftovers: 2 buckets of the blue paint, 1 bucket of acrylic resurfacer, an 1 bucket of adhesion promoter. Keep in mind that the size of my concrete pad was a little less than recommended (Mine was 30'x54' instead of the recommended 30'x60').
Hope this helps!

I am resurfacing my 30 your old pickleball court as I had sport court tiles on it. I have all the stuff and currently power washing the court.

[@shanecurtis6771]

Nice. Good luck!

[@budgettech5526]

Congratulations👍, I'm planning to do this. How much did it cost?

[@thedigiovannifamily]

Duuuuudeee! Here I was searching on making my driveway into a pickleball court and talk about a blast from the past. Rando picked your video and within 20 seconds I was in my head going "Man do I recognize this guy from somewhere....." and then the BYU hat CEMENTED it for me lol. Your intonation and joke deliver hasn't changed at all Curtis, still love it! Looks like all is well man, thanks for the knowledge, quotes for a court like that are 40k in Texas, figure I could deal with some small cracks and save tens of thousands. - Ryan DiGiovanni

[@RogerPack]

BYU? small world LOL

[@froggey5689]

This is a really awesome video. Love the 1 and a half year follow up at the end after 2 winters! Did you have to resurface the concrete with muriatic acid? I’m just curious where you got all your directions and steps from to do all the prep work.

[@69-Love]

Great job on the video and explaining everything!!! I just got my 50'x30' slab poured and I'm going to attempt the exact same process.

[@TheKniaz11]

Looks great! I’m in the early planning stages of building a court in my backyard and this video helped a lot!

[@shanecurtis6771]

Thanks - good luck!

[@chasebingham4952]

I’m a subscriber! Awesome detail, great pro tips, love the 2 year review. Most diy’ers don’t have the patience to wait for the results and share them.. good or bad. We’ll done!

[@shanecurtis6771]

Thanks for the sub!

[@lorenzociccone7219]

I’ve already placed my concrete slab, How much was the pain kit from sports master?

[@golfmaniac007]

just give up basketball.🤣....a pickleball court or tennis court lines should not have any other permanent lines

[@skip21al]

Pretty good for an ME. Thank man! Gonna do the same thing out here along the gulf coast. Go cougs ('04).

[@elcastigador66]

Great job, it really inspired me to do it at my own court, my court need attention asap thank you so much for this video, saludos desde Cuzco 🇵🇪

[@ElwoodSD]

My dad wants to build a pickleball court I think he might have his work cut out for him 😅 but dude you did a GREAT JOB I would be super proud of that !

[@shanecurtis6771]

Thanks!

[@erichogenson9206]

Fabulous job. FYI. Your chalk line can be used as a plumb bob and to scribe circles so you don’t have damage your tape measure

[@shanecurtis6771]

Good call. I tried using a string, but you have to keep good tension on the line to ensure there is no wiggle. Not insurmountable, but the stiffness of the tape measure made the process a little easier/fool proof, at the expense of my favorite tape measure...

[@scottperry2541]

Come down to Texas and put me one in!

[@DoItWrongYourself]

Good stuff. This is the way.

[@shanecurtis6771]

Thanks! And great screen name - it basically sums up my life.

[@madrehiatt]

You inspired me!❤ I’m looking forward to playing with you sometime 😅.

[@shanecurtis6771]

Thanks! I've heard that you have some tennis skills...they'll probably translate to Pickleball nicely.

[@flexnsa]

I’m getting ready to do almost the exact same thing! Basketball and pickleball. I even like your exact same colors. There’s a Sport Master distributor nearby so I’m going to visit with them soon. Our court size is 48x30.5. What did it cost you for all the paint and prep stuff if I may ask. Thanks for making the video by the way. I’ll be referencing it again I’m sure.👍

[@stella4travel]

Awesome job! Has anyone used this technique on a driveway that you actually sometimes park your cars on? I have a very long driveway but we drive on it in order to get to the garage where we park. We are in Florida so we do not have the snow factor but don’t get lots of rain to hopefully clean any car or tire marks. Thank you!

[@achilesrosa2322]

Hi Shane where did you buy , the primer and the paint color ? I live in Draper Thank you.

[@pomper8366]

Did your concrete pad have a vapor barrier? Also after time did shoe marks pop up? Thanks, you did a great job

[@brendavittetoe9454]

Great job- wishing to do this in our HOA on nice cement court and nervous to start on nice cement basketball court. What tape product did you use for line? What type rollers and sizes used? Asking because I didn’t see those items listed. How many total days to allow from start to finish to allow all coats to dry correctly. Thank you

[@armandovelazco5216]

Hey Shane great job man looks clean. I was also wondering about your neighbors and if the noise is a problem. Have they mentioned anything about the noise?

[@madrehiatt]

I am VERY IMPRESSED with the construction of and the finished product of your pickleball court. As a pickleball amateur, I love playing on it. In fact, let’s schedule a doubles rematch! Ps. I recommend watching this video just for the entertainment. 🤗

[@rickdeckard9810]

That "DIY" is pretty much a pro job. lol

[@itmaslanka]

You really only needed a foul line for Your basketball lines . No fouls being called . At least you made it a light color .

[@mikb277]

This is fantastic, great job. Very jealous, would love to of seen a few points played on it.

[@GeorgeDickens-lu6tq]

I have the same slab and ready to start the finishing of it. Thanks for the video, it was great. Did you put a vapor barrier down before pouring the concrete? Thanks

[@JamesVestal-dz5qm]

Makes me think about the average guys idea of engineering.

[@JamesVestal-dz5qm]

Thc makes me question my life decisions. That's what I enjoy about it!

[@sebastiangonzalez3825]

Looks amazing!! What was the total coast?

[@miken2604]

I was told a vaper barrier is a very important step ..

[@sensei2121]

What type of lights did you go with for the court?

[@jcrackcorn]

What was the total cost for primer/paint. I am doing a 30x60 and it’s coming out to about 4k with line taper…….trying to decide on DIY vs. hire out

[@Jimzyangles]

Dam 4K seems high for 1800 sqft brother. I can imagine it’d cost 5-7 with a contractor

[@150nitrodude]

Really great video! Thanks for sharing!

[@freeindeed5393]

Great video Dad!

[@shanecurtis6771]

Thanks!

[@HappyHadley29]

Did it hold up ok a year later?

[@JamesVestal-dz5qm]

This helps give me perspective on chemical engineering.

[@shareninaranai]

Awesome video

[@shanecurtis6771]

Thanks!

[@JevVan]

Great job!

[@shanecurtis6771]

Thanks!

[@mr.butcherhca4433]

Great Video. Can you list which products you used? Also wondering if you are happy with filling the cracks.

[@shanecurtis6771]

Thanks for the comment. I put a complete list of supplies in the video description. As for whether or not I'm happy with filling the cracks, time will tell. At about 2 years in, I'm happy. But if the cracks start chipping, then I may regret it!

[@jeremycruz4612]

Nice. Can I ask how many gallons of acrylic resurfacer that you needed?

[@shanecurtis6771]

I put a complete list of supplies in the video description. I ended up using seven 5-gallon buckets of resurfacer.

[@Melodie007]

You did a great job

[@boogerdawson25boogerdawson61]

I think you did a great job brother!

[@reesestrickland]

You crushed this ! #WellDone 🙌

[@logandouglas1466]

Looks great man thanks for sharing the process

[@toddgrooms7004]

Great job and great video

[@ryanklosterman3749]

Could you comment on the total cost all in on the finished product?

[@itmaslanka]

I’d say under $800 not counting the cement .

[@steven469]

That was awesome! Good work

[@Pickleball-Rwanda]

Impressive

[@jhyrumgrant]

If you don't want weeping under the tape, do a first coat with the same color as the court then 2nd coat with white. Then a light touch razor blade when you pull the tape up.

[@MikeMcGuire1]

could you explain a little about light touch razor blade?

[@shanecurtis6771]

Thanks for the tip. The Stripe Rite did a decent job after I got the hang of it.

[@titoroldan828]

Hi I’m interested in making one of these courts at my house can you approximate cost?

[@andrewgedman1214]

I saw someone on reddit do one and they said cost of concrete was 16k, and they had a company do paint and lines for 6k - but the owner's close friend was the contractor, so lets round that up to 30k. Other items could include: lighting, multi color, short fencing, permanent net poles/premium net. All things to consider.

[@AlanHill-hr3nr]

You friend was robbed! My friend just done this whole process (including concrete slabs) with this video as his inspiration, from start to finish at less than £7,000

[@ukhan24]

Wow great documentary!

[@shanecurtis6771]

Thanks!

[@Dailyvideodrop]

Always good to bring out the acid around children

[@Btc_bott]

Definitely better ways to do it

[@networth00]

Cool. Let's see your video.

[@Btc_bott]

Aww did little baby get his feelings hurt🥺🥺🥺

[@networth00]

@@Btc_bott LOL this video hurt your feelings. Go cry more.
