Premium Pickleball Court Built in Commack, NY by Gappsi
The demand for pickleball facilities has surged across Long Island, and communities are increasingly seeking high-quality, durable courts that elevate the playing experience. Gappsi recently completed another impressive installation at the Southern Landing apartment complex in Commack, NY. Delivering a professionally engineered pickleball court that reflects both structural excellence and aesthetic appeal.
This project highlights Gappsi’s expertise in sports game court design, engineering, and finishing. From the base construction to the final striping, every step is handled with precision to ensure long-term durability, player comfort, and visual impact.
A Strong, Stable Foundation: The Key to Long-Lasting Performance
Every great pickleball court begins with a properly engineered foundation. For this project, Gappsi constructed the court on a six-inch oversized recycled concrete base, selected for its strength, stability, and eco-friendly composition. This oversized base ensures the surface withstands heavy use, seasonal weather changes, and natural ground movement without cracking or shifting.
To refine the foundation, the team topped the base with fine, state-approved crushed concrete, a premium-grade material known for its consistent compaction and smooth finish. This step is critical in sports game court construction, as it prepares the surface for paving and prevents imperfections from telegraphing through the asphalt layer over time.
Professional Asphalt Installation for Superior Durability
Once the base was fully compacted and leveled, Gappsi installed 3.5 inches of asphalt in two layers. This dual-layer approach enhances the court’s structural integrity, providing the durability necessary for continuous play in a multi-resident community.
Using two layers of asphalt also allows for a more uniform finish and increased resistance to cracking. This is an essential factor for any high-traffic outdoor recreational surface. By taking this extra step, Gappsi ensures a longer-lasting court with reduced maintenance requirements.
Advanced Laykold Surfacing: The Gold Standard in Court Coatings
To deliver a cushioned, player-friendly surface with superior traction and color consistency, the court was finished with Laykold coatings, one of the most widely recognized surfacing systems in the sports game court industry.
Gappsi followed a multi-step application process designed to optimize both performance and aesthetics:
- First Coat of New Surf – This initial layer creates a uniform texture and prepares the asphalt for resurfacing products.
- Two Coats of Resurfacer – These layers refine the surface, filling micro-imperfections and creating a smooth, seamless finish.
- Three Coats of High-Quality Paint – Applied in rich blue color combinations to create a striking visual effect on the court.
The final color palette includes:
- Dark blue
- Medium blue
- Light blue
These tones provide excellent ball visibility, a professional appearance, and long-lasting vibrancy under outdoor conditions. Once the painting was complete, the court was striped with accurate, crisp white lines, ensuring regulation-quality play.
Court Size and Design: Built for Play and Comfort
The completed pickleball court measures 60 feet by 40 feet. While slightly larger than a standard court, this oversized design was intentional. The Southern Landing apartment complex requested additional space along the sidelines to accommodate spectator seating and player rest areas.
With benches planned for both long sides, the expanded footprint enhances comfort and makes the court more functional for group play, tournaments, and resident gatherings.
This spacious design also supports better player movement and provides a natural buffer zone that enhances safety during intense rallies.
High-Quality Perimeter Fencing for Safety and Containment
To complete the court’s structure, Gappsi installed an 8-foot-tall chain-link fence, fully outfitted with top and bottom rails for enhanced rigidity. This fence height is ideal for pickleball, as it prevents balls from easily leaving the court while maintaining clear sightlines for players and spectators.
The fence ensures:
- Safe containment of play
- Reduced ball loss
- A clean, professional boundary around the court
Its durable construction is designed to withstand Long Island weather and years of active use.
Premium Pickleball Equipment: Dominator Net System
No pickleball court is complete without reliable, high-performance net equipment. For this installation, Gappsi selected a Dominator pickleball net system, featuring sturdy aluminum posts engineered for longevity and minimal maintenance.
The Dominator system is known for:
- Excellent tension retention
- Rust-resistant materials
- A professional appearance
- Easy adjustability for continued level play
This premium net elevates the court’s overall quality, ensuring players experience consistent bounce, accurate net height, and reliable performance.
Engineered for Community Use and Years of Enjoyment
This Southern Landing installation represents the latest addition to Gappsi’s portfolio of pickleball court projects in Commack, NY, and throughout Long Island. Every detail was executed with long-term value in mind, from the recycled concrete base to the multi-layer Laykold coatings and reinforced fencing.
Because this court will serve an active apartment community, durability was essential. The finished product is built to handle extensive daily use, changing weather conditions, and minimal downtime, ensuring residents will enjoy a top-tier playing experience for many years.
