Space guide

How much space does a pickleball simulator need?

The simulator measures approximately 11 feet high, 11 feet wide and 4 feet deep. Playkout’s 2026 floor-plan diagram uses a 16-foot-long by 11-foot-wide planning area.

System size versus room size

Use the equipment dimensions for the hardware envelope and the planning rectangle for early room screening. Metric conversions below are rounded. The final layout still needs to account for access, circulation and spectators.

Public equipment dimensions: Playkout dimension illustration and AVS product specifications. Planning area, connected load and network details: 2026 Playkout Simulator System Spec Sheet used by Court Systems. Request the current specification and project drawing before final room design. The public links do not document every planning requirement.

What measurements should you collect?

Measure clear width and depth at the narrowest points and height beneath beams, ducts or other obstructions. Mark doors, columns, sprinklers, exits and the delivery route. Draw waiting and spectator positions outside the active area.

What technical details matter?

Provide the proposed power and network locations when requesting technical review. Dedicated Ethernet is preferred; Wi-Fi is an alternative. Confirm site readiness and the installation schedule with the Playkout team for the selected configuration.

What should be confirmed before purchase?

Confirm the current system drawing, complete operating area, mounting, delivery access, electrical preparation, installation responsibilities and support terms. A 150-square-foot room is below the 176-square-foot planning rectangle.

Commercial evaluation checklist

A room that meets three headline dimensions passes an initial screen only. Submit its layout, photos, city and intended use for a review of the full operating plan.

Frequently asked questions

How much floor area should I use for initial planning?

Use 16 × 11 feet, equal to 176 square feet or about 16.35 m², with 11 feet (3.35 m) of clear height. Allow for any additional circulation and spectator space required by the site.

Is a 10-foot ceiling enough?

It does not meet the 11-foot clear-height screening guidance used by Court Systems. Obtain a configuration-specific written assessment before proceeding.

Does Playkout require Ethernet?

Dedicated Ethernet is preferred. Wi-Fi is an alternative, subject to technical confirmation for the installation.

Where can I obtain the detailed floor plan?

Request the current system specification and project drawing from Court Systems during technical review. Public equipment dimensions do not replace a site-specific layout.
