So, what is the sport of pickleball and what is a pickleball court? Pickleball is a fast-growing sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton and table tennis. Whether you’re playing on a dedicated court or setting up a temporary game in your backyard, understanding the layout, trends and basics of pickleball will certainly help you understand this game even better!
Why choose to build a pickleball court?
Pickleball is a sport fast gaining popularity in Australia.
It’s easy to learn, making it perfect for players of all ages and skill levels.
Ultracourts is Victoria’s leading sporting court builder and we find pickleball courts are a popular choice due to the compactness of the court – meaning it can be built in smaller spaces, providing an opportunity for a fast-paced game.
What to expect from a pickleball court?
A pickleball court measures 13.41m in length and 6.1m in width. This compact dimension means a pickleball court can be built in a variety of settings from your own backyard to a community space.
Surface options can vary from concrete or asphalt, modular tiles, grass, clay or synthetic turf. The option you choose depends on how long you intend to use the court and if you wish to have it as a standalone option or mixed with other sports.
It is recommended you enclose a court with fencing to contain balls within the play area and equip the court with a standard pickleball net with a centre-strap designed for height adjustment.
Multi-use sport courts
Looking to enjoy a game of pickleball, but also want to mix it up with other sports?
For those looking to combine multiple sports into one court, we at Ultracourts Sporting Court Builders Melbourne can create a tennis, pickleball and basketball court all into one.

This trend allows the opportunity to maximise the use of space and cater for multiple sporting tastes!
