Acoustic curtains that hang right on your existing court fence and cut pickleball noise for the neighbors. Built to your fence, installed in a day, shipped nationwide.
How it works
Every order is built to spec. Send us the length and height of fence you want to cover and we make the panels to fit.
Panels are 3 ft wide and cut a few inches shorter than your fence. On a 10 ft fence we make them 9 ft 6 in.
Galvanized grommets hook onto the top rail. That leaves a couple inches at the top and 3 to 4 inches open at the bottom for drainage and airflow.
Your own crew can hang them in a day. Or we include installation through our partners at DH Distribution, Northern California's premier tennis court windscreen company.
Independent sound study
In April 2023 the City of Walnut Creek studied 8 pickleball courts in play at Rudgear Park, with our curtains on two sides of the fence. The results went to the city's Parks, Recreation and Open Space Commission.

Pricing
$6 to $8 per sq ft
All in, tax and shipping included. Where you land depends on the size of the project and whether you'd like us to install. Height matters a lot (a 6 ft fence vs a 12 ft fence), so we always ask for it. It can't be seen in satellite photos.
One side of a court, 60 ft of 10 ft fence = 600 sq ft, or about $3,600 to $4,800 delivered. Tell us your length and height and we'll send you a real number.
FAQ
Each panel is roughly 40 lb, and the weight is spread evenly along the top rail on S hooks. We've never had a fence that couldn't handle it.
No. The panels are solid, and that's what lets them block sound. We leave 3 to 4 inches open at the bottom for drainage and some airflow at ground level, and most sites only cover the sides facing homes.
Usually not. Most courts only curtain the side or sides facing the neighbors. We're happy to help you figure out where they'll do the most good.
Most crews hang them themselves in a day. We can also include installation through DH Distribution, Northern California's premier tennis court windscreen company.
Yes. In Northern California, Darrin will drop a sample off in person. You're also welcome to go see the curtains at El Macero Country Club in Davis.
They're waterproof, UV protected and tear resistant, with a 5 year warranty and an 8 to 10 year expected life.
All we need is the length of fence you want to cover and its height. You'll hear back from Darrin directly.
