Sports Court Striping Services We Provide
Our court striping work covers the four most-requested surfaces: pickleball, basketball, tennis, and playground games (hopscotch, four-square, foursquare, US map, foursquare-court hybrids). Each surface gets its own paint, line layout, and color logic per the governing rulebook.
Pickleball follows USA Pickleball rule 2.A — the playing area is 20 by 44 feet with a 7-foot non-volley zone on each side of the net. Basketball follows NFHS rules for high-school courts (84 by 50 feet), NCAA / NBA for collegiate or professional (94 by 50 feet). Tennis follows the ITF singles court (78 by 27 feet) or doubles court (78 by 36 feet). Playground markings follow whatever school district or HOA spec is on file.
Pickleball Court Specifications (USA Pickleball Rulebook)
A regulation pickleball court is 20 feet wide and 44 feet long, measured to the outside of the lines. The non-volley zone (commonly called “the kitchen”) extends 7 feet from the net on each side. The net height is 36 inches at the posts and 34 inches at the center. Side lines, center service lines, and the non-volley zone lines all stripe at 2 inches wide; baseline and sideline boundaries can run wider on shared multi-court surfaces.
We paint pickleball lines in white or a high-contrast color depending on what’s already on the surface — converting a tennis court to a dual-purpose tennis/pickleball overlay is one of our most common jobs in North Atlanta. The pickleball lines go on in a secondary color (commonly blue or yellow) so they read distinctly from the white tennis lines.
Surface Prep, Paint Selection, and Cure Time
Sports court surfaces fall into three groups: new asphalt or concrete, existing acrylic-coated courts, and bare aged concrete. New surfaces need a 30-day cure before any line work. Existing acrylic-coated courts (typical of dedicated tennis or basketball courts) accept line paint directly after a pressure wash. Bare aged concrete needs an acrylic primer if it’s slick or chalky.
The line paint itself is acrylic latex court paint — UV-stable, slip-resistant when dry, and rated for high-frequency play. Plexipave and Nova Sports are the two industry-standard brands in metro Atlanta. We thin per the manufacturer’s spec sheet so the lines flow evenly through our striper without bridging or stippling.
Dry-to-walk time is 30 to 60 minutes; full cure to recreational play is 4 to 24 hours depending on humidity and number of coats. Tournament-grade play readiness usually waits 24 to 48 hours.
Multi-Sport Court Layouts
Adding pickleball lines to an existing tennis court is a common ask, and the layout supports it well — one tennis court fits two pickleball courts side-by-side with room for safe runback. Color-differentiation does the rest of the work: white for tennis primary, a secondary color (USA Pickleball recommends yellow or red) for pickleball. We’ve also striped tennis-and-volleyball hybrids and basketball-and-foursquare playground combos.
For HOAs and schools considering a conversion, we sketch the multi-sport layout against your existing court dimensions before quoting, so you can see how the lines will read and where the secondary-sport boundaries will sit.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sports Court Striping in North Atlanta, GA
What kind of paint is used on sports courts?
Acrylic latex court paint — UV-stable, water-based, and formulated for high-traction play. Plexipave and Nova Sports are the two brands we use most across North Atlanta. The paint is rated for foot traffic, ball wear, and outdoor weather. Indoor courts (gyms, indoor pickleball facilities) use the same acrylic family.
What’s the best paint for court lines on concrete?
For new poured concrete, an acrylic-adhered line paint applied after a 30-day cure and an acrylic primer coat is the durable answer. Bare aged concrete also accepts acrylic line paint if the surface is sound; concrete that’s chalky or showing surface dust needs a primer to prevent the line paint from delaminating.
Can you stripe a court with multiple sports?
Yes — and it’s one of our most-requested setups. The standard combination in North Atlanta is tennis-plus-pickleball on a single 60-by-120-foot pad, which fits one full tennis court plus two side-by-side pickleball courts. We color-differentiate the secondary sport per USAPA / NFHS multi-court guidance.
What are the official dimensions for a pickleball court?
USA Pickleball rule 2.A: 20 feet wide by 44 feet long, measured to the outside of the lines, with a 7-foot non-volley zone on each side of the net. Net height is 36 inches at the posts and 34 inches at the center. Surrounding runback is recommended at 10 feet minimum behind each baseline.
What are the official dimensions for a basketball court?
A high-school basketball court per NFHS is 84 by 50 feet. An NCAA or NBA court is 94 by 50 feet. The 3-point line distance differs between levels — 19 feet 9 inches for high school, 22 feet 1.75 inches for NCAA, and 23 feet 9 inches for NBA. We paint to the level you specify; the most common ask in North Atlanta is NFHS.
How long until a freshly striped court can be played on?
Acrylic line paint dries to the touch in 30 to 60 minutes, opens to recreational play in 4 to 24 hours depending on humidity and number of coats, and reaches tournament-grade readiness at 24 to 48 hours. The first 24 hours are the most important — light rain or heavy dew during the first few hours can mark the fresh lines, so we schedule around the weather window.
