Factors We Consider While Building Courts

Tennis court construction requires careful planning and execution. Well-made surfaces last up to 20-30 years, especially if they’re maintained well. These installations are much more complex than they first appear which is why it’s necessary to hire a professional for this job. Here are some factors involved in the process:

• Location - Tennis courts need to be flat and level, so it’s important to choose the right location for the surface. It’s easier to build a court on a relatively flat surface as we don’t need level the surface as much. Building a court on sloping terrain requires earth movement, excavation, or retaining walls.
• Asphalt Surfaces - Asphalt courts is relatively affordable, they don’t require as much time and effort to install as concrete ones. It’s a good option for residential courts, especially if you’re on a budget or your property is in a convenient location. If we can’t bring asphalt laying equipment to your property, concrete might be your only option.
• Concrete Surfaces - Concrete is the better and more expensive alternative to asphalt. With proper maintenance, you can expect this surface to last for more than 30 years. We have experience with concrete tennis court installation so our team will make sure the surface is sturdy. This can be installed in any location and is suitable for residential or commercial courts.
• Cushion Vs Hardcourt - Tennis surfaces need to have a layer of shock absorption material. We can apply cushion surfaces based on your requirements. Regular liquid cushion surfaces are suitable for residential applications. They are 2mm thick and offer good shock absorption or around 2%-5%. This surface doesn’t last long so you will need to replace it every few years. Premium cushion surfaces have 5mm to 8mm of thickness and offer 16%-23% shock absorption, suitable for professional tennis courts.
• Acrylic Surfaces - Standard surfaces are suitable for residential applications. They are more affordable, can withstand 3-5 years of wear and come with 1 year of warranty. Premium surfaces are more expensive, have a 5-year warranty, and can last for nearly 8-12 years with proper maintenance.
