About this file
This document is a technical specification section (Section 02790) for a concrete pickleball court cushioned surface color coating system, prepared for a project in Florida at Rosselli Park. The specification details the requirements for a comprehensive pickleball court surface installation using SportMaster Sport Surfaces' PickleMaster Standard ProCushion System, which includes multiple layers of specialized acrylic coatings, including an adhesion promoter, filler course, base and finish cushion layers, and color coating. The system requires specific surface preparation, including concrete curing for at least 28 days, acid etching, and careful application of each coating layer, with line markings to be laid out according to USA Pickleball Association (USAPA) rules.
The specification mandates strict quality assurance requirements, including that the manufacturer must be a United States-owned company and a member of the American Sports Builders Association (ASBA), with at least 5 years of experience in similar surface systems. The applicator must be authorized by the manufacturer and have at least 3 years of experience in similar court surface applications. The coating system includes specific technical requirements such as solar reflectance index testing, 2000-hour accelerated weathering UV and Xenon Arc tests, and detailed material specifications for each coating layer. The system offers color options including Ice Blue, Light Blue, and Light Green, with a minimum 24-hour curing time required before the court can be used for play.
