Question 1

How much does a court cost?

Accepted Answer

Pricing is from $49 per square metre for the court itself: $49/m² for our Apex tile, and $59/m² for the dedicated Apex - Pickleball sports tile that pickleball-only courts are built on. The designer shows your exact total live as you build, and delivery is added at checkout once you enter your postcode, so the number you see before you pay is the number you pay. As a guide, a 6 × 9 m half-court is around $2,650 plus delivery. No quotes to chase, no waiting on a callback.

Question 2

What size court fits my space?

Accepted Answer

Any size — courts are built tile-by-tile, so you're not locked into set dimensions. Start from a preset in the designer (driveway, half-court, full court) and nudge the size in whole-tile steps (305 mm) until it fits your space. On your phone, the AR view drops your actual court into your yard at true size, so you can see exactly where it will end before you buy.

Question 3

What base do I need?

Accepted Answer

A flat, well-draining surface that is genuinely rigid: a concrete slab, asphalt (tarmac, blacktop and bitumen are all the same thing), or pavers. Existing driveways and older slabs are usually perfect — hairline cracks are fine, the tiles bridge them. What does not work is crushed rock, road base or compacted gravel; those settle over time and take the court with them. Starting from grass or dirt? A local concreter can pour a slab, and your court then snaps down over it in an afternoon.

Question 4

Do I need council approval?

Accepted Answer

For a court laid over an existing slab or driveway, approval is generally not required — you're laying a removable surface, not building a structure. If you're pouring a new slab, adding high fencing or lighting, rules vary by council, so it's worth a quick check with yours first. We can supply a spec sheet of your design to attach to any application.

Question 5

What sports can I build?

Accepted Answer

Basketball (driveway to full court, with FIBA / Junior / NBA 3-point lines), pickleball (regulation, doubles, singles), and multi-sport courts that overlay basketball, pickleball, netball, volleyball, tennis and more on the same tiles.

Question 6

Can I add custom colours, lines and logos?

Accepted Answer

Yes — choose your court and keyway colours, line-marking colours, run-off, and add logos (including NBA team marks and Jordan Jumpman, or upload your own). Line markings are applied during production, before your court is delivered, so nothing has to be marked out on site.

Question 7

How is it installed?

Accepted Answer

The tiles snap together over any flat, firm base (concrete, asphalt, or a prepared pad). No glue, no setting time. Each court ships with bevelled edges, court anchors and a step-by-step install guide.

Question 8

Will the tiles shift, or could they be stolen?

Accepted Answer

No. Each tile has a hidden centre cap that pops out to reveal an anchor point. The included anchors fix the court to your base, so it can't slide sideways — and the tiles can't be lifted or stolen. On an existing slab you simply anchor at the recommended points.

Question 9

Is the court portable, and can I hire it out for events?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The tiles interlock with each other rather than sticking to the ground, so anchoring is optional. Anchor a permanent backyard court and it cannot shift or be lifted. Leave a court un-anchored and it can be taken up, moved and relaid — which is what makes it work for events, hire, schools, pop-ups and clubs, or simply taking your court with you if you move house. It is the same court either way; the only difference is whether you drive the anchors.

Question 10

How long does delivery take?

Accepted Answer

Typically 8–10 weeks from order: about 2 weeks to make your court, then 6–8 weeks in transit to your door. Custom logos don't add to this — they're painted during the make, so your timeline stays the same. Metro freight is included in the live price; regional freight is quoted free within 1 business day — before you pay, never as a bill afterwards.

Question 11

Will I have to pay import duties or customs charges?

Accepted Answer

No. New Zealand orders are quoted delivered duty paid, which means import duties, customs clearance and local taxes are already inside the delivered price we quote you — nothing extra is owed when your court arrives. Australian deliveries are the same: the freight figure you see in the designer already covers it.

Question 12

Where do you deliver?

Accepted Answer

Australia and New Zealand. Delivery to most Australian addresses is costed into your total the moment you enter your postcode in the designer, so you see the exact figure before you pay. Anywhere we can't cover, we quote your delivery before you pay, never as a bill afterwards.

Question 13

What's the warranty?

Accepted Answer

Every court is backed by a 10-year warranty. The tiles are UV-stable and engineered for full-time outdoor use.

Question 14

What if a tile ever gets damaged?

Accepted Answer

That's the beauty of a modular court: pop out the affected tile and snap in a replacement — no specialist, no resurfacing. Keep a few spares from your order, or order replacement tiles in your exact colour any time.

Question 15

How do I pay, and is it secure?

Accepted Answer

Checkout is online by card, processed by Stripe — the same payment platform used by millions of businesses worldwide. We never see or store your card details. Your full court specification is attached to your order, so what you designed is exactly what gets built.

Question 16

Can I get a refund?

Accepted Answer

Because every court is custom-made to your design, we can't offer change-of-mind refunds once production starts (your statutory rights for faulty goods always apply). You confirm your design and sign off before any payment, so there are no surprises.

Question 17

Do I have to buy online, or can I talk to someone?

Accepted Answer

Both. You can design and order entirely online, or email us and we'll happily help you plan your court before you commit.
