Want To Add A Backyard Tennis
Court?
• Do You Have Space For Your Backyard Tennis Court?
• For doubles play, the recommended size for play is 60 by 120 feet. So, the first
thing to do is to measure and check there’s enough space for the court.
• Drainage is Key
• Drainage is vital so water can drain off the court with ease. The surface should
be considerably leveled, albeit preferably higher or maintaining the same level as
the surrounding land.
• Finishing
• Fencing – Size & Aesthetics Matters
• A 10-feet fence is recommended for hard-courts. While 8-feet is
recommended for fast-dry, clay and turf courts because these surfaces
create reduced bounced ball situations. When it comes to choice of
materials for fencing, there are varieties to choose from fabric mesh to
chain link, the choice depends on financing and aesthetics.
• Shade Shelters
• Having a nice shade to relax before, during or after a game is important.
Custom shade shelters designed to site’s specifications can be purchased
online and installed upon delivery.
