Inside this collection
Building a pickleball court — full or partial — is a £200–£3,000 project depending on whether you're lining a tennis court, laying tiles, or building from concrete up. We stock the kit for all three approaches.
Sport tile (modular interlocking flooring) is the most popular permanent option for backyard installs. £1,500–£3,500 for a full court, no foundation work needed if your existing surface is reasonably flat. Tiles last 10+ years and can be relocated.
Ball machines and rebound walls are the underrated category in court equipment. Solo practice is genuinely effective with a decent machine — one £400 entry-level Lobster Pickle has produced more competitive players than any £40 paddle.
If you're searching for pickleball ball machine specifically, you're in the right place — every paddle, ball, or piece of kit on this page is matched to that intent and stocked here in the UK.

Quick decision guide
- Match the project to your space and budget. Tennis-court overlay (£40–£90) for a weekend project; sport tiles (£1,500–£3,500) for a permanent backyard install.
- Plan for accessories: a portable net, ball machine, rebound wall add value beyond the court itself.

Frequently asked
Are ball machines worth it for amateur play?
If you train alone or want to drill specific shot patterns, yes. Ball machines repeat exact feed conditions, which is useful for grooving consistency. Less useful if you only play casual games — the dynamic of a real opponent matters more.
Cheapest pickleball ball machine?
Around £400 for entry-level (single ball type, basic oscillation). Tournament-grade machines (Lobster Pickle, Spinshot) are £1,000+. The cheap ones are real upgrades over solo wall practice.
Can I line a tennis court for pickleball?
Yes — pickleball doubles courts (20'×44') fit comfortably inside a tennis court. We sell line-tape kits and chalk systems specifically for this use case. The lines are reversible.
What surface is best for pickleball?
Hard court (acrylic or concrete) is the standard. Sport tiles are popular for backyard installs. Carpet courts exist but are uncommon.
How big is a pickleball court?
20 feet wide by 44 feet long for both singles and doubles. The non-volley zone (kitchen) extends 7 feet either side of the net.
