Pickleball Courts

Separate the 20 × 44 ft playing lines from the larger footprint needed for movement around the court.

Space for Rallies, Room to Move

Turn your available space into a dedicated pickleball court or add a pickleball layout to a shared sports area. Start with room for rallies and recovery, clear line colors and a surface feel your players enjoy.

Try the shots that matter

Dinks, low bounces and baseline rallies put different demands on a surface. Use your preferred pickleball balls when trying samples, including shots across tile joints.

Run-off, visibility and access

Place fences, seating and stored nets outside the playing and run-off areas. Check the contrast between the ball, lines and floor. Plan accessible entry and circulation separately from the court rectangle.

Make outdoor play part of the plan

Consider sun direction, drainage and lighting alongside the court layout. For sites close to homes, include venue noise planning early in the project.

USA Pickleball space recommendations

Dimensions below are length × width unless stated otherwise. Playing lines and the total usable footprint are different measurements.

Playing lines: 44 × 20 ft
About 13.41 × 6.10 m; length × width.
Minimum recommended total surface: 60 × 30 ft
About 18.29 × 9.14 m, including space around the playing lines.
Preferred total surface: 64 × 34 ft
About 19.51 × 10.36 m; the preferred footprint in the construction guide.

Where space allows, USA Pickleball recommends a north–south orientation to reduce sun interference. Metric dimensions above are rounded.

Discuss a Flooring Sample

For pickleball, low-ball response and joints are key sample-selection priorities. Sample consultations focus on the intended ball, base and level of play.
