Constructing a Tennis Court in Sevenscore

Get in touch

Tennis Court Contractors are experts in all aspects of building and constructing a sporting facility. We offer a reliable, professional service at a great price.

There are many factors involved when constructing a tennis court in Sevenscore CT12 5 and it is important that you get a professional to talk you through them.

Once planning permission is approved the tennis court construction can commence.

This starts with excavating and removing the existing surface down to the necessary depths, once this has been completed PCC edges are laid to the perimeter of the area and a Geotextile laid over the whole area. MOT Type 1 stone is then poured onto the area and spread evenly before being heavy compacted and rolled. Open textured base macadam hard court is then installed to the area before a wearing course of macadam is laid.

This Sub Base specification gives the outdoor tennis courts and indoor tennis courts great stability as well as making it as level and even as possible, Indoor tennis courts are normally made with hard court surfacing.  

Other positives of constructing a sub-base to this specification are that it is porous and permeable making the sub-base fully SuDS compliant. A SuDS compatible surface means that water is allowed to pass through the tennis courts surfaces suitably into the substrata instead of flowing directly into the drains and overburdening them and causing them to flood.

How to Construct a Tennis Court Near Me

As professionals in the tennis court construction industry, we know just how to construct a tennis facility closest to you so that it will last a long time. We follow simple steps when constructing sports facilities in your surrounding area which are as follows:

  5. Paint the surfacing if you decide on macadam hard court or polymeric

  6. Install line markings

The process of installing a nearby sports facility will vary depending on the surface type.

If you're having a macadam hard court installed, less prep work will be needed, as only a stone sub-base is required. We recommend thinking about your budget and plan for your local facility before having the area constructed.

You may wish to play a number of sports on the facility, along with tennis, you may find that the types of sport you wish to play will affect the surface that you should have installed.

Once constructed you may also require regular maintenance including repainting http://tenniscourtcontractors.co.uk/maintenance/tennis-court-repainting/kent/sevenscore and relining, to ensure the upkeep.
