    Get a bottle of Seal Master Stripe Rite and put it on after you tape but before you paint the lines next time. It will fill the voids and make sharp tape lines.

    For the lines call sport master and they sell line primer. It seals the lines and makes the lines super sharp. Also if you buy sport masters paint they sell acrylic resurfacer and you apply it with a squeegee, it will make the surface smooth. It uses silica sand. It also couple thousand dollars but it lasts much longer and it will look much better.

      @@skip21al when concrete dries, it develops a layer on the top that will impact the adhesion of the paint, if I understand correctly. An acid wash is necessary to remove that film and lightly etch the new concrete in preparation for the paint

    Can you send me a video of what that gorilla light looks like at night when playing pickle ball or basketball? We are trying to figure out if we should put a pole with a light or buy one of those types of lighting for night play

      @@launchkits sure thing. I’ll be out there tonight. I’ll say that with all of the lights I’ve played with, there is always a weird effect on the pickleball when it is flying through the air that distorts it a bit, but it is better than playing in the dark.

    All the places I've played the non volley zone was painted a different color. Why did you choose not to do that?

      @@boosebill thanks for this question. I’ll say that having a different color court is not very common where I live so I don’t see it very often. I have seen them, but I wonder if it is more of a regional norm? Nevertheless, on my court there isn’t a very clean way to have a separate colored no volleyball zone due to the basketball key.

    Right off the bat, I can see that a person can get hurt by stepping off any of the concrete area onto the grass when chasing down a ball or trip when coming onto the cement after being on the grass.

      Also, someone might skin their knee if they run and fall down on the court. Should have made it out of foam and recommend all players wearing knee, elbow, and wrist pads, full gloves and helmets, and playing inside an inflatable bubble. Think of the children!
