Pickleball Court Surfaces & Construction

SportMaster contractors install Pickleball court surfaces and perform construction using the same methods as utilized on tennis courts. When building a Pickleball court, is equally important to secure an experienced contractor with knowledge of tennis court and sports construction. This will ensure that you get proper construction, slope, and drainage for your Pickleball court.

Once the asphalt or concrete slab is in place and properly cured, it is time to choose an acrylic SportMaster Pickleball court surfacing system. The PickleMaster surfacing system offers the largest array of Pickleball surface colors, with 17 standard colors in which to choose. PickleMaster RTU will also provide the same surface results for Pickleball, with 8 standard colors. The PickleMaster family of surfacing systems are engineered for Pickleball. The specialized texture is ideal for non-slip pickleball play, but not too aggressive for extending the life of pickleballs. Ask a SportMaster representative or installer for more information, if your are interested in learning more about PickleMaster.

PickleMaster Surfacing System For Pickleball Courts

The PickleMaster™ System, by SportMaster© is Revolutionizing Pickleball Court Surfaces.

How the System Works: PickleMaster is available in 30-gal & 55-gal containers. The coating is produced and factory-blended with a specific blend of aggregates for slip-resistance, and comes in a neutral (untinted) base.  1 gallon of SportMaster ColorPlus Pigment Dispersion will fully pigment 15 gallons of PickleMaster.  Each 30-gal keg requires a minimum of 2 ColorPlus gallons & the 55-gallon drum requires a minimum of 4 ColorPlus gallons.

Ease of Mixing: ColorPlus™ is a highly concentrated pigment dispersion that disperses readily into the PickleMaster™ pickleball court surface coating. Our proprietary technology enables ColorPlus™ to disperse completely with minimal mixing.

Exceptional Quality: The ultra-fine particle size of the ColorPlus™ Pigment Dispersion produces vibrant, consistent color quality on pickleball court surfaces.

Greater Inventory Control & Lower Shipping Costs: By stocking a single base product, contractors are able to optimize warehouse storage space and reduce shipping costs. The ColorPlus™ System takes much of the guesswork out of ordering pickleball court surfaces. Contractors simply maintain a minimal level of ColorPlus™ Pigment in one gallon buckets.

The Most Color Choices In The Sport Surfacing Industry: There are 17 standard colors available, and a large variety of options through our ColorPlus Fusion blends.

PickleMaster RTU (Ready To Use) For Pickleball Courts

PickleMaster RTU (ready to use) is available in 8 standard colors, and contains the proper dilution, pigment, and texture package.

This is the easiest choice for pickleball court surfacing. Just open the lid, mix with a drill and paddle mixer attachment (in case any settling occurs). After mixing, pour into a windrow (puddle) across the width of the court area, and apply with a soft rubber squeegee.

ProCushion System For Pickleball

The ProCushion System, depicted in the illustration above, is the ultimate professional and residential cushioned option for pickleball court surfaces. This 100% acrylic coating system is designed to provide optimum resilience and joint-friendly play. The shock absorbing layers of the ProCushion system provide unparalleled player comfort at an affordable cost. Flexible acrylic binders maintain the cushion feel of the rubber granules for many years after application.

Pro Cushion System Components

The standard PickleMaster ProCushion System consists of the following:

• 1 to 2 coats of Acrylic Resurfacer
• 3 coats of CushionMaster™ II
• 2 coats of CushionMaster™ I
• 2 to 3 coats of PickleMaster™ with ColorPlus™ Pigment Dispersion.
• Additional coats of CushionMaster™ II can be added for even softer playing surfaces.  5 coats of CushionMaster™ II and 2 coats of CushionMaster™ I is called the premium ProCushion system.

Each layer in these systems serve a specific purpose, and contribute to the quality of the finished court.

• Vibrant, consistent finishes allow for safe, non-slip play in dry or damp conditions. (Available in a popular palette of colors, currently 16 standard colors)
• Multiple acrylic pickleball court surfaces form the firm, uniform and durable wearing surface.
• CushionMaster is an upgrade of additional rubberized coats that provides dynamic response to body impact, attenuates foot and leg shock, and reduces body fatigue.
• Acrylic Resurfacer is the base coat that fills voids in the pavement and adds texture for the cushion granules to “grab” onto during application.
• SportMaster pickleball court surfaces can be installed indoors or outdoors, on asphalt or concrete.
• Additional SportMaster products are used for patching, leveling and crack sealing.

SportMaster pickleball court surfaces can be used for a variety of sports other than pickleball. Other racquet sports like Tennis, Badminton and variations like Paddle Tennis and Paddleball are commonly played on acrylic surfaces. Multi-court applications with blended, or different color, lines for each sport can easily be installed to provide a variety of game options on the same court.
