				|  Sun Jun 09, 24 9:06 pm    OT: DIY pickleball court? |   |  
				| 
 |  
				| I know some of you members have built your own pickleball courts, and I'm researching the costs and techniques. The official "safe" size is 30'x60' and I've identified where I could pour what I'm hoping will be an concrete RV pad that doubles as a court. I haven't called anyone for quotes yet for just the pad (I've researched coating options). 
 Thoughts? Experiences?

				| Well if you weren’t getting a multi-use out of the pad, I’d tell you to just go buy a ping pong table; keep the pickle in the jar.  From an opinionated tennis player.     |  |

 |  
				| Start with the pad, but add thickened footers out at the perimeter.  Leverage that into a 30x60 metal building. 
 Garage, shop, indoor pickleball and basketball, roller hockey, and big screen.  A real man cave.

				| Thanks! Yes, I know it will be an overpriced kite drying facility. |  |
