Driveway court kit
A complete driveway court, portable 22 ft net with wheels, a line marker kit, a set of four paddles, a dozen outdoor balls and a pickup tube, costs under $250. It needs a flat surface of at least 20 x 44 ft, ideally 30 x 60 ft.
A regulation 22 ft steel-frame net with wheels and an 11 ft half-court option for small driveways.
The cheapest way to play at home: no paint, no contractor, packs away in a garage. Check the space first with the court size calculator; most single-family driveways only fit a half court.

- Permanent paint: throw-down lines are enough until you know you will play often.
- Windscreens and fences: a driveway rarely needs them.
What should you upgrade first?
- The net, to a hand-crank tension frame, if you set up more than twice a week or play in wind.
