Permanent backyard court

The equipment for a permanent backyard court, a JOOLA Pro net, four windscreens, a Titan ONE ball machine, hopper, rebounder, line kit and bulk balls, costs under $6,000. The slab, surfacing, fencing and lights are contractor work and are NOT in that total.

This is the ceiling: a court you practice on alone as much as you play on with friends. The surface itself (a new slab or an acrylic court surface), fencing and lighting are not sold on Amazon and must be quoted locally; our court cost calculator gives a general planning range for those.

What can you skip?

  • A ball machine if you have regular playing partners; drilling with people is better practice.
  • Four windscreens on an unfenced pad: they need something to mount to.

What should you upgrade first?

  • Nothing here; the upgrades at this level are the surface and lighting, which are contractor work.

Who should not buy this kit?

Anyone who has not played regularly for at least a season, or whose HOA or local rules restrict permanent courts. Check permits and get local quotes first.
