Indoor Pickleball Court Transformation with Alpha Grip: Red, Grey & Grip

This newly completed indoor pickleball court, finished in a custom colour layout, demonstrates how Alpha Grip can deliver both functionality and design flexibility, even in enclosed spaces.

What makes this project stand out isn’t just the traction, it’s the bold use of colour and how each zone has been clearly defined:

• Red for the kitchen zone
  

• Dark grey for the court itself
  

• Medium grey for the perimeter

The result is a clean, modern, and professional-looking surface with excellent grip, strong visual contrast, and plenty of character — all installed with care and precision.

From Backyard to Sports Facility: The Power of a Good System

With pickleball continuing to grow in popularity, more and more people are choosing to create their own courts, whether indoors, outdoors, at home, or on private property. Building a personal court offers greater convenience, flexibility, and the ability to design a space tailored to your needs, without exceeding your budget.

While Alpha Grip is a popular choice for DIY projects, it has also been successfully applied in professional sports facilities thanks to its durability, traction, and weather resistance. This means that when you select the right products and follow the correct application process, the results can match commercial-grade installations while significantly reducing overall costs.

Taking the DIY approach allows you to save on labour while maintaining full control over colour, layout, and texture. With the right preparation and materials, creating a safe, long-lasting, and visually striking pickleball court is entirely within reach.

Planning Your Own Court? Here's Our Recommended System

While every project is unique, we strongly recommend following the SlipDoctors 3-Step System, especially for concrete and masonry courts. It includes:

• Hydro Prime: to seal the surface and block moisture
  

• Prime Coat: to improve bonding and coverage
  

• Alpha Grip: the final anti-slip colour coat
  

Even if you’re working on asphalt or other surfaces, the system ensures long-term performance, better coverage, and superior adhesion, especially when dealing with temperature fluctuations or outdoor exposure.

A Customer Review from an Outdoor Project

Another client recently completed an outdoor court on asphalt using a similar Alpha Grip colour palette, and shared this feedback:

"Super happy with the outcome of the Pickleball Court. I used Medium Gray, Red, Black and White for the lines. The surface was 2-year-old asphalt. I started without using the Alpha Primer — my suggestion: use the primer, the paint goes much further. I taped off all of the lines and used a wide roller to apply. Super easy. Great surface texture."ù

This review reinforces just how flexible and easy-to-use Alpha Grip is — whether indoors or out, on fresh concrete or older asphalt.
