Pickleball court construction for one in your back yard

The cost of a single court in your back yard could run anywhere from $4,000 to $25,000 depending on the quality of what you want and how long you want it to last. There are low cost solutions but they would not be appropriate in commercial use because of the need for durability at a pickleball club where courts are in constant use day in and day out.
