A standard racquetball court measures 40 ft x 20 ft with a 20 ft ceiling height. A standard squash court measures 32 ft x 21 ft with a lower ceiling clearance requirement. Those differences mean a room that fits a racquetball court may not suit squash without modification, and vice versa. The site measurement and layout check is the step that resolves this, room length, width, and ceiling height are all confirmed before any wall or floor system is specified.
Wall panel material is selected after the dimensions are confirmed. Steel panel systems, plaster walls, and glass back wall configurations each have different structural requirements and play characteristics. A glass back wall is standard for squash courts where spectator viewing is a priority; solid panel systems are more common in home gym and HOA clubhouse builds where the room doubles as a fitness space. Front wall height and service line markings are set to the correct specification for the chosen sport.
The floor system is installed after the walls are in place. A hardwood or maple floor system with a shock-absorption layer is standard for both sports. Arizona’s indoor climate is generally stable enough for hardwood, but a moisture check is still carried out before any wood goes down. A final walkthrough confirms wall alignment, floor level, ceiling clearance, and line marking accuracy before the court is handed over.
