Pickleball Court FAQ for Winnipeg, MB Homeowners

The lines are 20 by 44 feet. Plan on a 30 by 60 foot play area for comfortable play, or 34 by 64 if you have it. A compact court works in roughly 24 by 50 feet with reduced run-off. Measure fence to fence and send us the numbers; we'll tell you which court fits.

In the Winnipeg area a full 30 by 60 pickleball court on a concrete base with an acrylic surface typically runs $25,000 to $45,000. A compact tile court typically runs $18,000 to $30,000, and lines plus a net on an existing sound pad $4,000 to $9,000. A full build with fencing and lighting runs $35,000 to $65,000 or more. Your exact quote follows a site visit.

Often, yes. If the pad is sound (no heaving, no wide cracks, drains properly) we clean it, repair minor cracks, apply a surface coat and stripe regulation lines, with a portable or permanent net. If the pad is failing we will tell you rather than coat it.

Modular interlocking tiles flex with freeze-thaw movement and are the most forgiving residential surface. Acrylic sport coating on a properly built reinforced slab plays truest. Asphalt is cheaper up front but softens in summer and takes coatings poorly, so we rarely recommend it here.

Because Winnipeg is built on clay that heaves with every freeze-thaw cycle. A court base here needs 18 to 24 inches of excavation, 8 to 12 inches of compacted crushed limestone, drainage, and a reinforced slab of at least 5 inches. Skipping any of that is how courts crack and ripple within a few winters.

The pad itself usually does not need a residential permit, but fencing over 1.2 metres often does, and lighting that needs electrical work needs an electrical permit. Rules vary by municipality and setbacks, so we confirm them with the City of Winnipeg or your rural municipality as part of your quote.

A typical residential court takes 6 to 8 weeks from excavation to first game, including the 28 day concrete cure before surfacing. Most Winnipeg courts are built between May and October, and winter is the best time to plan so the crew can start as soon as the ground allows.

Yes, if it is designed for it from the start. We grade the court with a gentle slope toward one end, seal the edging so it holds water, and keep a hose bib within reach. Say so at the measurement stage and it is built in.

Yes. We serve the broader Capital Region including Headingley, Oak Bluff, East St. Paul, Niverville, Steinbach, and Selkirk, alongside Winnipeg. Acreage lots around the city are often the easiest places to fit a full-size court.

Yes. The base construction and installation are warranty-backed, and surface systems carry their manufacturer's warranty. We explain the specific coverage as part of your written quote.
