Construction timelines vary by material: interlocking tiles are the fastest, elastic acrylic roll suits quick install-and-store scenarios, and acrylic court coating follows substrate preparation and curing schedules.
Confirm in-bounds dimensions, buffer zones, indoor/outdoor environment, number of courts, substrate type, drainage, and whether removable installation is required.
Choose interlocking tiles, elastic acrylic roll, or acrylic coating based on temporary, movable, or permanent court requirements; finalize colors, logos, perimeter fencing, and lighting.
Acrylic court coating requires a qualified C25-grade substrate; spalling, cracking, or uneven surfaces must be repaired or self-leveled first; interlocking tiles are more forgiving of hardened substrates.
Interlocking tiles: 1-3 days; elastic acrylic roll: 1-2 days; acrylic coating: approx. 5-7 days. Complete surface laying, coating, welding, court marking, net system, and perimeter fencing per material process.
Verify diagonal measurements, net height, non-volley zone (NVZ), line width, surface flatness, lighting, and accessory checklist; hand over maintenance recommendations and consumables configuration.
On the same court footprint, the construction method and timeline differ significantly depending on whether you choose interlocking tiles, elastic acrylic roll, or acrylic court coating. The table below compares each phase side by side.
| Phase | Interlocking Court Tiles | Elastic Acrylic Roll | Acrylic Court Coating |
|---|---|---|---|
| Substrate Requirements | Hardened flat surface; most tolerant of cracks | Flat hardened base (indoor wood floor also acceptable) | C25 or above concrete/asphalt; no spalling or cracking |
| Substrate Preparation | Sweep and level; localized leveling if needed | Sweep; repair defects | Crack repair, grinding, self-leveling if needed (3-5 days) |
| Surface Installation | Interlock and snap tiles; zone-color layout | Roll out, splice, and secure | Primer coat → elastic reinforcement layers (2-3 passes) → textured top coat |
| Court Marking | No marking needed or quick line tape | Mark after installation | Dedicated court-marking step (approx. 12 hours) |
| Timeline (per court) | 1-3 days | 1-2 days | Approx. 5-7 days |
| Reference Price | 120-268 CNY/m² (subject to official quote) | 200-260 CNY/m² (subject to official quote) | From 98 CNY/m², all-inclusive (subject to official quote) |
| Relocatable | Removable and relocatable | Rollable and storable | Permanently fixed |

Before handing over any court, our engineers verify every item on the following checklist to ensure compliance with USA Pickleball court specifications.
13.41×6.10 m (20×44 ft) — globally standardized, non-negotiable.
Both diagonals equal (approx. 14.73 m), confirming a standard rectangle.
Sideline posts: 0.914 m; center: 0.864 m.
2.13 m (7 ft) each side of the net; kitchen zone accurately marked.
5.08 cm (2 inches), clear and uniform.
No delamination, spalling, or significant height variation.
Fixture positions, illuminance, and uniformity verified per design plan.
Fencing and net frames securely installed and up to specification.
Consumables and maintenance recommendations verified at court handover.
Interlocking tiles carry warranties by product line (Standard Mige / Strong Mige: 8-year no-crushing warranty; Xingyao: 6 years); elastic acrylic roll: 3-year warranty; acrylic court coating: reference service life of 6-10 years. Post-handover support includes cleaning and maintenance guidance plus a consumables replenishment channel. Warranty details are governed by the formal contract.
The root cause of nearly all defects is inadequate substrate preparation or rushed construction — which is exactly why LOCVIN insists on full turnkey delivery with no subcontracting chains.
| Defect | Primary Cause | Recommended Remedy |
|---|---|---|
| Surface Blistering / Bubbling | High moisture content in substrate, insufficient curing, wet-weather application | Cut out → treat substrate moisture → patch with same system; address moisture source first |
| Cracking (Reflective Cracks) | Untreated substrate cracks, improper expansion joints | Inspect substrate → repair cracks / apply reinforcement fabric → recoat |
| Pooling Water | Insufficient or uneven drainage slope | Re-survey slope; 1% single-direction minimum; water should drain within 3-5 minutes |
| Line Misalignment / Bleed | Inaccurate layout, process issues | Re-lay lines to standard and repaint with same-system paint |
| Net Too High / Too Low | Net posts / tension not dual-measured | Dual-measure and adjust: center 0.864 m, net posts 0.914 m |
| Interlocking Tile Buckling / Edge Lift | Insufficient expansion gap / perimeter gap, loose interlocks | Leave expansion gaps per manufacturer spec; re-lock tiles |
| Glare | Poor glare control on fixtures, incorrect pole placement | Switch to anti-glare optics; move poles to sides, behind the baseline |
| Color Variation / Visible Seams | Application inconsistency, batch differences | Control batching and application technique; recoat entire zone if needed |
The above represents general engineering guidance. Warranty-covered defects are handled per the formal contract.
