DIY Pickleball Courts: How Alpha Grip by SlipDoctors Makes It Possible for Everyone

Dreaming of a pickleball court in your own backyard? You’re not alone, and thanks to Alpha Grip by SlipDoctors, that dream is more achievable than ever. Whether you're a seasoned pro or someone with zero painting experience, you can create a safe, durable, and professional-looking pickleball court right at home.

From Dream to Reality, Even for Beginners

One of our latest customers said it best:

Easy Application, Great Product
I did a ton of research before I settled on this product. The reviews were consistent and basically sold me. I was hoping it was as easy and as good as they all said. I was not disappointed… The paint application was easy and it was obvious that it was good quality. The finished product is gorgeous and I feel safe with the amount of traction the sand provides on my court. As someone who never considered painting a sports court before, I know I made the right choice.

With Alpha Grip, you don’t need a contractor. All you need is a suitable surface, a roller, and a little time. The paint is pre-mixed with fine traction aggregate for excellent grip, and it's designed to go on smoothly, even for first-timers. Your court will not only look great but will also offer the traction and durability needed for serious play.

But First, Surface Prep Is Key

The secret to a long-lasting DIY pickleball court isn't just in the paint, it starts with proper surface preparation.

That’s where SlipDoctors Hydro Prime comes in. This zero-VOC, penetrating sealer is the first step in the process. It strengthens, waterproofs, and primes your concrete or masonry surface, reducing moisture ingress and ensuring that your paint bonds properly.

Without it, you're at risk of peeling, bubbling, and other common coating failures, especially in outdoor environments.

Why Hydro Prime?

• Creates a permanent internal moisture barrier while keeping the surface breathable
  

• Enhances adhesion for all SlipDoctors coatings
  

• Reduces risk of paint peeling, bubbling, or failure
  

• Easy to apply with a low-pressure sprayer
  

• Eco-friendly and non-toxic
  

• Works on courts, driveways, sidewalks, patios, and more

A Complete DIY System That Works

From sealing to painting to final striping, the SlipDoctors system is made for real people who want professional results at home. And the reviews speak for themselves:

The products are awesome.
From the inception of painting a pickleball court myself to returning what I didn’t need, SlipDoctors was amazing. They helped me know what to order, gave technical advice as needed and graciously accepted a return. The concrete primer, court and striping paint are so easy to work with. Next summer I’ll repaint the tennis courts and will definitely use these products again.
