Typically pickleball courts are constructed of a road base and asphalt and coated with an acrylic
color coating system. This process is exactly like the construction of an asphalt tennis court. Once the
asphalt has been installed, there is a 30 day cure time for the emulsions and polymers to dissipate from
the asphalt. This same cure time would also apply to a concrete type of court, tennis or pickleball.
When the cure time is complete the preparations can begin to the court surface. The court is checked
for any low areas (birdbaths) and patched, followed by the application of acrylics to the court sur-
face. If the court is a concrete court there would be additional preparation for the proper adhesion of
the acrylics to the concrete surface.
