Tennis & Pickleball Domes: From Design Concept to Reality

Why Choose Air Domes?

Tennis and pickleball are popular sports, but outdoor play depends on the weather. Air domes provide a solution for year-round play, shielding players from sun, wind, rain, and snow. They are faster and cheaper to install and maintain than traditional structures, making them a practical choice.

Cost Overview

• Installation: Tennis & pickleball domes cost between $100,000 and $2,900,000, including materials, installation, and shipping. Traditional buildings can cost double or triple this amount.
• Flexibility: Domes are removable and storable, allowing for seasonal use and creating opportunities for additional revenue by renting out the space.

Key Considerations

1. Court Size: Standard tennis courts (78 ft x 27 ft) require a surrounding area of 60 ft x 120 ft for safety, totaling 7,200 sq ft. Pickleball courts (20 ft x 44 ft) can fit two per tennis court.
2. Court Count: Decide the number of courts based on your facility's needs and safety regulations.
3. Amenities: Ensure the dome covers bleachers, changing rooms, and toilets.

Primary Users

Identify your target users (e.g., high school students, college athletes, professional players) to determine the dome's size, court count, and features.

Climate

Air domes are suitable for any climate but are particularly beneficial in cooler areas with shorter outdoor playing seasons.

Beyond Sports

Air domes can be used for events, storage, and commercial purposes. Consider lighting, sound systems, and other features to maximize usage.

Seasonal vs. Permanent Use

• Seasonal Use: Store the dome safely when not in use.
• Permanent Use: Plan for additional facilities like offices, equipment storage, changing rooms, restrooms, and HVAC systems.

Customization

Personalize your dome with custom colors, designs, logos, and graphics. Ensure line markings for both tennis and pickleball.

Building Community

Air domes foster community by providing a space for sports and events year-round, creating lasting bonds and memories.
