Drawing Lines on Tennis Courts
I usually use tape measure and chalk to draw some lines on Tennis courts near me, since the nearest pickleball court is a 15 minute drive.
This usually works out well, as the chalk will stay as long as there's no precipitation. I also haven't heard any complaints from the tennis players
I'm curious if anyone else has to resort to "drawing" their own lines. And if so, what kind of solutions do you employ?

Is finding court space an issue in your area?
www.ksl.com Pickleball turf wars: How a popular sport is creating competition for community court spaceThe fastest-growing sport in the country creates a growing need for court space. As Utah communities rush to find solutions, it's creating competition with more established sports.
This article is one of the many that talks about "turf wars" and trying to find space to play pickleball. I imagine in densely populated areas this is true but up here in the middle of nowhere New England, we haven't had issues sharing the courts with tennis players.
We have 5 tennis courts that then have lines for 2x pickleball courts on each tennis court. Tennis nets are setup but you have to bring your own pickleball net. I think the only time I've seen all the courts full was when the local High School was using them (they don't have their own courts) but that was on the calendar and easy to schedule around.
What's the court situation like in your area?
