Frequently Asked Questions

The pickleball court dryer has the typical one year warranty. We will not be liable for this warranty if a defect arises because the Buyer used the product for a purpose other than the purpose for which it was intended, or buyer alters the product without our permission. In the unlikely event the fabric wears out before one year, we will send you a replacement piece at no cost to you. It’s fairly easy to replace! If the bearings fail, we’ll send you some new ones. They are easy to replace. Call us for tips! A Video is coming for this simple procedure. The chassis should last forever if you don’t drop it or let kids ride in it. It isn’t made for passengers!
-
Yes. 30 days from the shipping date assuming it comes back in the same as new condition it was sent and buyer pays return shipping.

The latest version of our machine should function 1.5 to 2 years without needing any replacement parts. At that point the parts it will require will be low cost and simple to replace! Please hose off absorbent roller with pressure as well as all rotating parts after each use to increase longevity.Version 1 with the 1.5 inch diameter squeegee roller requires lubricating at the edges of the roller between the rubber seals and metal surface of the roller to minimize resistance.
Vasoline or thick automotive grease works best!
Version 1 units were sold before early January 2024.
Version 2 requires no lubricating on the squeegee roller. It uses precision factory sealed bearings used in skateboards If your machine was purchased before December 15th of 2024 It has these skateboard bearings. We didn’t get a satisfactory life expectancy out of these bearings so we now use weatherproof acetal/delrin bushings. If your skateboard bearings are worn out, they will cut into your squeegee roller axle and it will need to be replaced along with the new Delrin bushings. Please contact us and we will send you a new axle and bushings at no charge!
They just tap in or out using the axle they’re attached to or the handle of your machine will knock them out if you need to replace them.
If the roller blade wheel bearings on the chassis ever seize up, they too use skateboard bearings which are super easy to pop in and out! Make sure to get stainless steel bearings. Amazon has them for under $2 each.
The Bearings on the absorbent roller are slightly different than the skateboard bearings on the squeegee roller. The part numbers for those are FR6zz if you have a 3/8 diameter axle, FR8zz if you have 1/2 inch diameter axle. All bearings can easily be replaced with a screw driver, pliers and a hammer. Call us if you have any questions or need us to walk you through the procedure.
.A complete quick change out roller with new fabric already installed for $119.99 is available here.
All machines shipped after 1/5/25 will have all new weatherproof Delrin/Acetal bushings on the absorbent roller. The life expectancy of these is far greater than the previous bearings.
If you have any questions at all or need parts that are not yet on the website, contact us via phone or email and we will take care of you!

Yes! We always play immediately after. The court may still be a little bit damp but is certainly playable!
In damp conditions, we recommend a soft compound shoe sole. They offer considerably more grip!
-
About 4 or 5 minutes.
-
Yes!
Always tip the machine forward when emptying. Do not tip/twist it sideways. Doing so may stretch the brackets that hold the handle base tubes.
Always lift the front or back wheels when going around corners or doing u-turns. This lifts the fabric roller off the surface and radically reduces wear! Lifting up on the handle also reduces your radius while doing u-turns which is sometimes necessary due to fencing constraints.

Various factors in industrial production determine pricing like: Where it’s made, what it’s made of, are any of the the produced parts outsourced, mortgage or lease payments on the production facility and so on!
Here at Pickleballcourtdryer.com, we have a product that was designed with a less is more philosophy. It was designed to be affordable by keeping it simple yet very functional. Not over engineered with unnecessary features or size. Our production facility has no lease or mortgage payments. It is currently a two man operation with an overall very careful emphasis put on low overhead.
All of this means you get a very good product at a a very good price!

Yes, but very simple! It will be quite apparent but you should still read this to make sure it’s done right.
Just put on the 4 cover screws, the wheels and handle. The cover screws are the smallest ones in the bag.
The wheels will have all the necessary hardware attached. Remove the locknut and one washer. Then take the rest of the wheel and hardware assembly and insert it into a corner hole. Put washer and nut on other side and tighten until it starts to dent the white frame. At this point the wheel should feel firmly attached to the chassis without any wobble.
Repeat this process with the rest of the wheels.
For the handle:
There are a total of 8 5/8 inch long screws and 4 brackets. 2 brackets are already attached to thr gray handle tubes.. Loosely attach the bottom bracket to the predrilled holes at the rear of the chassis. Then insert the left gray tube marked with an L in the left bracket. Left and right is determined by viewing the machine from the rear. Then tighten the top bracket with the screws provided in the pre-drilled holes. Repeat the same process for the right side.
Insert the metal handle also marked left and right about 4 inches down until it stops. Insert R shaped Hitch pins to keep the handle in place.
Thats it!
Please call if you have any questions.
