Ronan SportsPickleball Cardboard Stencil Kit | NO Paint Included | Continous Lines | Made in The USA

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!

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.

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!

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.

Take your time. Measure and make marks. Lay this stencil down and push so you don’t get overspray. You can make a crisp court. I’m very happy and I’m super picky.

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.

I was a little hesitant in purchasing the pickleball stencil kit after reading a lot of the reviews. The most important thing that I can say it that it takes 3 or 4 people to measure and tape it down so it won't move. It was time consuming putting down and painting the first half court just making sure it was perfectly straight and the corners were straight. After that the other half of the court went much faster. Two coats of spray paint looks so much better than one coat and I had the exact amount of paint.
