Tile court build
Covering the 20 x 44 ft court area (880 sq ft) with interlocking sport tiles takes about 36 packs of 20 tiles at 13.38 in, and the full build with a hand-winch net, line kit, windscreens and hopper costs under $4,000. General estimate; confirm tile coverage on the listing.
5/8 in interlocking sport tiles at a listed 13.38 in square. 36 packs cover the 880 sq ft inside the court lines; add more for run-off.
Interlocking tiles turn a sound, flat slab into a consistent court surface without a contractor, and they drain and can be lifted later. Coverage below is computed from the listed 13.38 in tile size: each 20-tile pack covers about 24.9 sq ft, so 880 sq ft needs 36 packs. A sound, level base is essential; tiles bridge hairline cracks, not heaving or slope.
