01 / Court fit planner
Your space. Both directions.
Measure the clear rectangle available for a playing surface, after accounting for obstacles and locally required setbacks.
Your planning snapshot
First, measure your space.
Enter two dimensions to see whether the selected playing surface fits. This checks dimensions only.
34 × 64 ft is our starting point for a new court.
Dimensional fit is not a construction, safety, accessibility or permit approval. Confirm site conditions with a qualified local professional.
Minimum playing surface
1,800 sq ft including space beyond the lines. A smaller footprint is not a standard playing surface.
New construction recommendation
2,176 sq ft including surrounding space. This is the default target in our planner.
Dimensions: 2026 USA Pickleball Official Rulebook, 3.A.1–3.A.3 · Official rules entrypoint · Checked October 8, 2026. Calculations use exactly 0.3048 meters per foot.
02 / Quote comparison
A price is only half the picture.
Use two quotes you already have. Mark what each price covers before comparing totals. We don’t find contractors or request bids.
Enter tax-inclusive totals in the same currency. No currency conversion or local price estimate is provided.
Compare like with like
Add both quote totals to compare the amounts. Unknown scope is not included scope.

03 / Before you sign
Build clarity into the quote.
An editorial checklist to take to a local court professional. Ask for written specifications, not just a single total.
Start below the surface
Ask who handles excavation, grading, base preparation and drainage. Confirm soil assumptions, site access and what happens if unexpected conditions add work.
Specify the finished court
Compare the total playing surface dimensions, base system, surface materials, line layout and net equipment. Get maintenance instructions and warranty exclusions in writing.
Look beyond the baseline
Discuss fencing, gates, lighting, electrical work and access. Check noise, setbacks, permits, easements and association requirements with the relevant local authority.
Read the small print
Clarify taxes, permits, disposal, restoration, allowances, payment milestones and the change-order process. Compare scope before treating the lower total as the better option.

Source review: October 8, 2026. This first version covers a single rectangular standard pickleball court; adaptive and specialized layouts need separate planning.
