• Q: How do you recommend adding lines to court flooring tiles? I thought a saw painting them on mentioned? What type of paint?

  A: We recommend using a Krylon paint to place the lines on your court. The best way to do this is to stencil out the court lines with two pieces of cardboard leaving space in between so you can paint the lines onto your court. This will help to keep your line nice and neat and will also help to minimize the paint splatter.

• Q: Can the outdoor sports tile be installed on dirt or does it have to be installed on concrete? If so, will it still have good bounce for a pickleball or basketball? Thanks!

• Q: It looks like you can install these on any hard surface even granite - I’m wondering if I install these on the DG in the backyard which is basically a hard but level decomposed granite or dirt .

  A: Our Outdoor Sports Tiles could be installed over granite or dirt in fact we have had many customers successfully install this way. That being said, for best results, we always recommend a hard flat surface such as concrete or asphalt. This is because if it rains or floods the dirt could start to sink or shift which will make the tiles above them move.

• Q: Can you paint lines for both a pickleball and basketball court on the Outdoor Sports Tiles to make a multi-use court?
