Doubles courts (20'×44') fit comfortably inside a tennis court; the lines are reversible. Tape kits are £40–£90; a clued-up DIY can mark a court in an hour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilding 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSport 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're searching for pickleball court 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilding or kitting out a court\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCourt equipment splits into three project tiers. Tier 1: line tape on an existing tennis court (£40–£90, weekend job, reversible). Tier 2: portable sport tile flooring (£1,500–£3,500, no foundation needed if surface is flat). Tier 3: full concrete-and-acrylic build (£3,500–£8,000+, requires planning).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor most home installs, tier 1 or tier 2 is the right answer. A tennis court overlay handles 95% of recreational play; sport tiles handle the rest. Tier 3 is for clubs and dedicated players willing to commit a meaningful project budget.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe non-court equipment matters too. Ball machines (£400–£1,500), rebound walls (£300–£1,200), training aids (£10–£100) make solo practice genuinely productive. A £400 ball machine has produced more competitive players than any £400 paddle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy this collection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pb-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"pb-feature\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLines for any surface\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTennis-court overlay tape, paint kits, and chalk-line systems for hard courts and indoor floors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"pb-feature\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTraining aids\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCones, targets, ball machines and rebound walls for solo practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"pb-feature\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUK delivery for bulky kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePickleball court equipment is heavy.
