Regularly clean debris, fill cracks promptly, and apply protective coatings to extend surface life.

Yes, repurposing an existing tennis or basketball court is one of the cheapest and fastest ways to get a playable pickleball space. If the surface is in good shape, all you need to do is repaint the lines and install a pickleball net. If the surface is cracked or uneven, resurfacing may be necessary, which adds to the cost but is still cheaper than building from scratch.

The most affordable option to build a basketball court is asphalt. Asphalt costs $7 to $15 per square foot. This accessible and highly bouncy material will make your court perfect for a casual game or a serious play-off. You can also invest in a basketball DIY kit for additional padding. These kits cost around $1,500 and come with pre-marked, easy-to-install flooring tiles for a halfcourt. For hoops and scoreboards, look through your local used sporting supplies store or talk to school districts to see if you can snatch any equipment that’s being retired.

The biggest disadvantages of building a tennis court are the cost and the space if you lack enough square footage. Tennis courts cost double or triple the cost of pickleball courts, which can price out many homeowners looking for an at-home tennis court. You also need to consider the higher maintenance costs when it comes time to resurface or repair your tennis court.
