It's easy to convert a tennis court to a playable pickleball court with the addition of kitchen lines using blue painters temporary masking tape 7 feet on either side of the net for the No Volley Zone, aka The Kitchen.

The rear PB line is the back line of the tennis service box; 1 foot shorter than a PB court.

Using the tennis singles lines the width of a tennis court is 27' while a PB court is 20' or 3 1/2' wider on each side. With most PB players this isn't a major issue.
