Pickleball court setup: a practical checklist
Check dimensions, surrounding clearance, surface condition and permission before setting up a court. The marked rectangle is only part of the space you need.
Measure before marking
Use the current governing-body specifications for the court and net. Record the available area and account for nearby fences, walls and other obstacles.
Check the surface
Look for uneven areas, debris, water or other conditions that could affect play. A portable net is not a reason to overlook the suitability of the surface.
Agree how the space is used
Confirm bookings, shared-court arrangements, line-marking permission and local restrictions. Plan access for players without obstructing other users.
Inspect the setup
Follow the net instructions, check installed dimensions and walk the area before the session. Pack away temporary equipment when required by the venue.
