The lines fit but there is no room behind the baselines or beside the sidelines. Expect to stop short on deep lobs and wide shots; keep the edges clear of walls, curbs and cars.
Driveways are rarely level. A cross slope of more than about 1 percent makes balls roll and bounces uneven.
Figures from our court size calculator: court lines 20 x 44 ft, recommended total area 30 x 60 ft, tournament-style 34 x 64 ft.
Rough setup cost for 1,000 sq ft
- Tape, chalk or painted lines plus a portable net: $170 to $650
- Acrylic resurface of an existing slab plus a portable net: $1,570 to $4,350
