Painting & Acrylic Surfacing

Acrylic surfacing and precise painting are essential steps in creating a professional-quality pickleball court. Once your concrete base has been poured and fully cured (which takes about 4 weeks), we’ll guide your in selecting the right surfacing and colors to optimize play.

The gold standard is a multi-layer acrylic coating — the same material used on professional courts —which provides a durable, weather-resistant finish, a consistent ball bounce, and a grippy surface for safe movement. While cheaper alternatives like epoxy or textured paint save you money, they wear down quickly, lose traction, and compromise play quality.

This final step of your build also includes painting court lines to exact pickleball specifications, ensuring proper dimensions, visibility, and contrast. With proper care, acrylic surfacing will protect your investment for years, but it should be reapplied periodically to maintain peak performance. Backyard Pickleball Builders will advise you on the type of surfacing that fits your goals and buget, so your court performs as well as it looks.
