Pickleball court

[EGrove]

I have a customer that wants to put vinyl down on a dancefloor to make a pickleball court. Does anyone have any suggestions on materials, or will any non-slip overlam do?

is this a one time "event" project, or a misguided attempt at a renovation?

my assumption is that many of those playing will be seniors, they will not be "agile like a cat" will not be terribly resilient,
and will not know how to fall without injury. i imagine the insurance adjuster assigned to the case will ask who did this installation? what were his qualifications?

Interesting assumption. The op didn't say it was a ballroom. It could be a dance floor in a bar

I have a product which is meant for athletic courts. It uses gel instead of adhesive so it won't bond to the floor or leave any residue behind. When matched with a scuff/slip resistant floor lam, you've got a safe court to play on. Used for the Division II and III NCAA men's and women's final four court...also used on the side of the Cleveland Cavaliers court. One of the biggest gym floor manufacturers burns through this combo.
Courtwrap 54"x100' $666.00
Floor lam 54"x150: $344.5

But if it is just down for a few days, let me know and I've got one-step solutions for that as well.

I forgot to mention if you just want lines, the gym floor manufacturer has us make them 2" rolls of this stuff to be put down for volleyball and basketball tournaments. You can just buy rolls of tape and apply them (with that gel)

Interesting...I'm picturing a bachelor party or benefit type thing with lots of drunk people. Maybe a waiver of some sort to release you of liability would be a good idea in addition to any non-slip vinyl you use.
