Ronan Sports Pickleball Cardboard Stencil Kit | Paint Included | Continuous Lines | Made in The USA

The court came out fantastic. Was an easy 2 person job. Just take the time to keep lining all the stencil pieces up for the best result. That took 2 people than 1 person to spray. Wear a mask when painting!

This stencil worked very well for painting out the pickleball lines on a rough concrete, half basketball court. You will need two people and a non-windy day, along with some tape (almost no type will actually stick to the concrete but it will still help temporarily) that will help in strategic places to hold the stencil down until you can paint and get all the way through. Tape will not hold it in place by itself. A little movement means your lines will be off, squiggly, etc. Once you start spray painting (you can use a 2" roller if preferred) that extra set of hands will facilitate being able to move along quickly. If you use spray paint, your work will be inside a box that straddles the line to be painted and prevents over spray. Directions are simple, straightforward and clear. The stencil is for painting the lines, however, orienting it on the surface you're transforming into a pickleball court will require the measurements and your tape measure first. This is just the paint stencil.

this product is exactly what you expect. The difficulty comes in any imperfections in the surface which results in under spray from the spray paint. I would also recommend using a string line (chalk line) to make sure the stencil is laid out straight. It might look straight and then the painted line is wavy. In addition, you might feel the baseline is setup square but it is not a 90 degree angle. You can measure the diagonals to check all this if it is really important to make everything nice.

I used this Pickleball stencil on my cement basketball court and it worked out well... we now have Pickleball lines! It seems crazy to pay $185 for pieces of cardboard, but I checked into all my options and this was actually the cheapest way I was going to get Pickleball lines. I first used a blower to get the court clean of any debris, and then started laying down the stencil pieces using a tape measure. Two friends helped me. You can do it with two people, but three was even better. I would not want to do it alone. I recommend watching the YouTube video to help you make sense of the instructions. We used blue painter's masking tape every three feet or so to hold down the stencil in position, obviously on the outside of the stencil to not block where the lines will be painted. Then one person held and moved the overspray box, one flipped the flaps, and one spray painted the lines. We moved along pretty quickly. The three cans of spray paint that were included were enough to do both sides of the court, plus I have a little left over. There is basically enough to paint each section of line with two quick passes, then move the overspray box, paint two quick passes, etc. All in all, it still took us a long time... about 3 hours start to finish, but some of that we spent discussing and consuming beverages. You could probably do it faster. But the lines turned out perfectly! And I have the template stored for future use. I actually plan to use a template piece to paint the straight sections of the basketball key (in a different color) on each side of my court, and my neighbor wants to borrow it to paint straight lines for 4-square for his kids. So yes, this cardboard is expensive.... but it works!

Kind of pricey for cardboard, but it is cut perfectly and pretty easy to use. We had to contact company for an additional can of spray paint, which we couldn't find in our town, and they sent us another one. We were short just a couple of feet. Good customer service.

I was unable to send the defective product back without paying for postage to send it back. The spray paint cans included in my kit all malfunctioned. I refuse to pay for postage back as I am afraid Ronan Sports will try to rip me off. NO PRE-PAID LABEL FOR RETURN. I have tried for a week to get a pre-paid return label without success. I guess my next move is to call the credit card company to try to cancel payment. Amazon is no help.

Great idea, unfortunate execution. If you want an actual 20'x44' court, the stencil will not line up. The kitchen line is 5/8' too short. Also, the baseline and right sideline dont align. You could pull the pieces together but then your right sideline will have an unfortunate angle. As such, you will get output like the attached picture and will have to touch up after. Also, the pieces do not lie flat. You will use a lot of tape holding it in place. You might as well just tape your own lines. It will give you a general outline, but if you are looking for clean crisp lines, this is not it.

Great kit that makes painting the stripes pretty easy. The kit has everything…paint, tape and stencils. A pair of nitrile gloves would be a nice addition, but overall it’s a lot easier than taping and gives great results.
