Pickleball "Paddle-In" Fence Clip

Pickleball Paddle-In Fence Clip!

Printed with PETG, this clip allows for smooth transitions between players on and off the court.

As I go to more out and indoor courts, I find that there are no places to "paddle in" (a phrase used to determine who gets to use a decided court next). It is hard to find cheap pickleball "racks" as some industries call them.

I wanted to make a portable and reliable system that could make pickleball more affordable as a whole.

The rules that everyone should follow while using the courts is as such: If a court is full ( with 4 players) and 4 other players put their paddles in the clip, then all 4 current players will leave the court once their game is finished and the 4 who “paddled in” are now able to enter the court to play their game until completion. Then the next 4 players will enter the court etc.

After deciding to post this I noticed some similarities between my design and a few others so here's their credit:
