Pickleball Courts

No Concrete Pickleball Courts

Ultra Base panels are the ideal alternative to installing a concrete or asphalt pad…especially for homeowners and facility operators faced with impervious surface regulations.  They can be used to create a permeable surface that not only allows homeowners to comply with these regulations, but is also safer, more durable and more environmentally friendly than concrete or asphalt.  Simply put, Ultra Base is the best option for building a DIY pickleball court with no concrete.

Ultra Base offers two panel systems that are ideal for building both portable and permanent pickleball courts without concrete.

The Foundation Panel (shown here) is ideal for those looking for an alternative to a concrete base or a portable base for a Versacourt, court tile, pickleball court.
