Building a FINLAD Pickleball court – easy, affordable and flexible! 🙌🏼
The FINLAD Pickleball court is easy to build anywhere on a hard, flat surface, such as asphalt, concrete or flat stone. With FINLAD products, the court is set up quickly – all you need are field markers, a ruler, chalk and a pickleball net. The court is ready in no time, and the whole thing costs less than 200 euros. Few sports are so affordable to start!
When you can choose your own playing location, you won't get bored with the same sports hall or field environment - the entire field can be conveniently carried in one bag! 🙌🏼
Court dimensions and suitability
The dimensions of the outer boundaries of the pickleball court are the same as those of a badminton doubles court: 13.4 meters long and 6.1 meters wide. If you already have a badminton court, you can use it for pickleball. All you need is to install a pickleball net, and the court is ready! This way, starting the sport indoors costs only 135 euros with the purchase of a FINLAD net.
On the badminton court, you must take into account the difference between the kitchen area boundary and the front line of the badminton court serving square, which is 15 cm. This is easy to mark, for example, with tape, which is quick and easy to remove after the games. If you need marking tape, you can add it to your order (it is not yet available in the online store, but it is already in stock for delivery, so if you need it, ask for the tape quickly, for example via the online store's messaging service!).
Simplified:
•Pickleball kitchen line vs. badminton singles front line: 15 cm difference (pickleball line further away).
Benefits and flexibility of court construction
The advantage of building a pickleball court is its flexibility. The court can be either temporary or permanent depending on your needs. If you want an easily portable court, FINLAD's field markers and sturdy portable netting offer the perfect solution.
If you need a more permanent field, you can choose durable materials that will stay in place for a long time. We implement these solutions through our partners, so feel free to contact us if you would like more information about permanent fields!
Court all season long
Pickleball can be played all year round. An outdoor court allows you to play from spring to fall, and an indoor court allows you to play the sport year-round, regardless of the weather. This makes pickleball an excellent choice – you can play regardless of the season.
Anyone can play
Pickleball is suitable for everyone, regardless of age or skill level. Since the court is easy to build, starting the sport is also cost-effective all over Finland.
Summary
A pickleball court is easy to build and set up on any hard, flat surface. FINLAD products make creating a court effortless, and the court is completed quickly and affordably. If you already have a badminton court, you can use it for pickleball by simply installing a pickleball net. The court is ready – and the game can begin!
The surface of the court doesn't matter, but the official pickleball surface is acrylic. However, playing is just as fun regardless of the surface – be it hardwood, carpet, asphalt, or any other suitable surface.
So feel free to try it – and you’ll soon realize how addictive the sport is! 😉
