DIY Gravel Driveway with Geo Ground Grid
Good video! Fiber runs between buildings are the best, but where one can't, wireless units work well. NEVER run copper lines between buildings!! I've done the wireless solution many times using mostly TP-Link equipment (CPE510 5GHz 300Mbps in Point-to-Point or Point-to-Multipoint config and connected them to Deco Mesh units).
Yeah we considered running lines but this was a lot easier and cheaper than trenching. I figured it was worth a shot and we could always trench if it didn’t work. Thankfully I’ve been very happy with it so far.
You should hand everything to him out the window so that you don’t have to keep going up and down
That would have been a good idea. lol
Why are the houses made from paper?
¾ hole is crazy for cat5
It’s more about the grommet. I didn’t see any smaller than 3/4. Gotta seal it, can’t just put the cat5 through the wall.
nice video. just thought i'd note the 'ding' for each drill hole is like 20 times louder than your voice.
Thanks. Yeah I thought maybe it was slightly too loud. Was considering bringing it down more, I guess I should have. Next time!
You should have drip loops on the outside this way water doesnt follow the cable in or towards the hole.
That’s probably a good idea.
You should add a drip loop to both installations to prevent water intrusion. You may also want to ground the cable before it goes into the building. Search for ETH-SP-G2
what is the size of whole concrete?
34x64. That’s the recommended size and what is on the pro tour, but I’d note that I wish I had made it slightly bigger. When we started we didn’t originally plan for the fence on the concrete and that takes away almost a foot on each side. You want the playable area to be 34x64. Because of the slope the fence outside of the concrete wasn’t a great option for us but that could be for some.
How many holes in the wall? 😊
I am just starting a court myself, what surface paint did you use and do you like it? By the way great JOB!
Thank you so much for the comment and support! We used Acrytech and we have loved it! atsports.com/

Thanks for posting this! I am thinking of building a single indoor pickleball court... (already built two indoor sand volleyball courts myself)
awesome work guys!
Thanks!
Polished stained concrete or epoxy would be options too
Yeah I’ve considered epoxy. I’ve seen a few that look great.
its tiffin time
Alot of rebar
hi🎉 Do you need polyurethane beams?
@@赵倩倩-n3x hi! We used untreated beams and then used linseed oil as a protectant. They are supposed to last 5-10 years before needed to be replaced. We’ve had ours done for several years now and we haven’t had any problems with the wood rotting or needing to be replaced.
What kind of finish did you use on the concrete after it was poured? was it a light broom? Also, how important is it to get the acrylic resurfacer? What difference would it make if you just painted it after pouring the concrete? I'm looking to get a pickleball and basketball combo on a smaller concrete slab so this is really helpful!
yeah it was a light broom finish. the resurfacer is pretty important with the saw cuts for relief on the concrete. the resurfacer fills in the cuts as well as any imperfections.
@@SouthHavenCountryLiving thanks for the reply! Before applying the resurfacer, did you apply anything into the control joints (like Sikaflex) to smooth it out while still being able to flex a bit before applying the resurfacer? Or was the resurfacer enough to fill those saw cuts?
Nice video 😊 What's the dimensions of your cement slab
Thank you! The slab is 34x64. If I was doing it again I'd add slightly more to the width for the fence. I was initially thinking about putting it off the concrete but then changed my mind. because it couldn't be exactly on the edge, it ends up cutting off almost a foot on each side. So I'd either plan for fence outside the court, or make it at least 36 wide.
I want to build my own. About how much was this?
There is a pretty huge range depending on a lot of factors. The range is generally going to be 25-50k depending on how flat your yard is, whether you want cushion layers, how cheap/expensive concrete is in your area. We had to bring in a lot of stones to level ours which brought the cost up significantly and we went with the cushion layers as well. You might be able to do it “slightly” cheaper than the low end if you have a really flat yard and are friends with a concrete guy 😀 This was around 40k, which was about 10k more than I originally expected / was quoted because the guy miscalculated the slope of yard and therefore the amount of stones it would take to level it. I probably wouldn’t have been able to stomach it if I knew that ahead of time …. But I’m so glad I did it anyways. We absolutely love it.

I would of made a clay court instead. Can you not find brick clay? Usually baseball infield supply companies will carry it or make it for you. Tennis clay is 1/8 in minus. If you live in a dry climate you can just level the earth, compact, and place two inches of clay. If you live in an area with a lot of rain you need a substrate layer or at least canals trenched with substrate to allow drainage. I've put together a clay court (from major league clay supplier) for 2k USD
This is awesome. You guys did great!
Thank you!
Wow so jealous of this set up! You did it right with the rubber cushion! I have a massive perfectly flat area at my Dads farm and its already brand new concreted. But it does have some premade cracks I need to fill with filler and painting lines. It wont be in your league but its a start!
Thanks! We really enjoy it and use it almost everyday!
@@SouthHavenCountryLiving No doubt!

This pickle ball trend has gotten out of hand
Sure looked alot better b4 the court was built
This is great. I live on a farm and play indoors. Now go and make sure you have 5 kids. We need more high IQ babies.
Curious to see what would happen if you just paint it right after the concrete and add no cushion. Would the ball bounce the same?
i don't notice a significant difference between this and other courts i play on. I feel like there might be "slightly" more spin on this, but not a big difference at all. It does seem slightly better on the joints though. I suspect I'll be happy we did it over time.
Very nice and seems to be a hi-end product but no lights?
those are coming in the next video ;-)
Pickleball is America's fastest-growing sport and we like it #Pickleball
it's fantastic! we love it
Beautiful court!
thanks so much!
I see your concrete had saw cuts on it, did the paint just fill it in ? Do you see them or feel them on the court ?
the acrylic fills the cracks. they are not noticeable at all after the finish is put on.
I see your concrete had saw cuts on it, did the paint just fill those in ? Do you see it or feel it at all on the court ?
I can't really answer for them, but I'd say no. I just did my own, and we had to fill in the saw cuts with a concrete patch. It looked like the same type of product at the acid wash phase of the video. If you just did the resurfacer/ paint, it would run right off thru the saw cuts...
@@joemiles79I see, I’m about to paint my court but don’t want to see any lines because I have saw cuts on my concrete, you suggest to fill them in with a concrete patch ?
yeah the acrylic finish fills them in completely. they aren't noticeable at all to see and have no effect on play.
Surprised they didn’t use tape when painting the middle three blocks ? You could have done the painting yourself I believe. Nice colors !
i did consider finishing it myself but overall i've been very pleased with the outcome. it was sort of a i don't know what i don't know and I felt like the price was fair. normally we diy almost everything. probably would have if we didn't get the cushion layers but i really didn't know what was needed for those. Gary did a great job though, very happy with the end result
Do you have the final cost? Please!

Nice work ! Thanks for documenting and sharing your experience.
Thanks!
I notice you're in Wisconsin -- is there any special care needed for the courts when it snows and gets very cold?
Gary, the court finisher, is from Wisconsin, but we are actually in Tennessee. Not sure if there is anything special to do for the cold or not. I suspect it would be on the front end related to the concrete if anything, but I'm not 100% sure.
Amazing finished court. Great decision to go with multiple layers to help reduce wear on your joints allowing longer or more playtime. Congrats on job well done
Thanks! It really feels great to play on.
Thanks for sharing! Looks great!!! U need a poddy for your guests 🤣
Maybe one day!
There's not enough room between the sidelines and the wall/fence. People will run into it on wide shots.
when you look at the unfinished raw concrete shot with the net in place there is 4-5 feet on the sides which is more than enough for hi level amature play. The more than generous depth behind baseline is where some $$ could be saved
I actually agree mostly. The court is 34x64 which is the recommended size and gives 7 feet on each side, but I initially wasn't planning on the fence being on the court. For various reasons we ended up doing it that way and that cuts off a foot or so on each side. If I could do it again I would add 1-2 feet on each side and make it 36 or 38 by 64. That being said, very very rarely has anyone gotten to the fence, it's mostly fine. we've had a few ATP's but it does make it ever so slightly harder. Alas this is a good suggestion for anyone else considering building a court. If you're going to put a fence on the court, give yourself another foot or two.
@@SouthHavenCountryLiving Seen places that dont put the fence just in that area and use a low padded barrier to stop low balls.
yeah we actually considered that and played for a bit like that. we still ended up with too many balls going off right and left and it got to be pretty annoying because of the significant drop off. (we just had a bucket of balls but still ended up with a ton of balls to pick up at the end. @@andyespenan5919
What size is your sport court?
Hi @samuraistabber, Our court is 34 ft x 64 ft.
I would love something like this in my backyard. Such a great layout too! What does a project like this run if you don’t mind me asking?

Where there's a Dill, there's a way. 🙂
@everyonehasadream Yes, absolutely! Thanks for watching our video! :)
This will be an interesting experiment. I have a gravel driveway that requires periodic maintenance every two or three years - redistribution with a box blade. However, pouring gravel over a ground grid should keep the stones from moving, thereby yielding a longer-lasting driveway.
Yeah I’m curious how well it does long term. So far we’re very happy with it.
Gravel and limestone will pack down hard over time. Most stone movement occurs before this packing occurs. So if the grid keeps the stones in place until they grind themselves into semi-permanent positions, this should last a long time. Keep us posted.@@derekclark5658
so far so good. we're really happy with it still, and plan to add more to other sections of the driveway, especially the steeper parts
