Constructing a tennis court offers a long-term value to your property. Gappsi recently completed a concrete tennis court in Long Beach NY on top of the roof of a parking garage of Breeze Oceanfront Rental Living. The initial step in constructing a tennis court involves planning and design. This sets the foundation for the project. Below are the steps taken in designing and installing a tennis court.
Planning and Designing Tennis Sports Game Courts
Planning and Designing Tennis Sports Game Courts- Site Selection: Identify a suitable area for your tennis court.
- Size and Dimensions: A standard tennis court requires a playing area of 78 feet by 36 feet for singles matches and 78 feet by 42 feet for doubles. Including the overrun areas, a total area of 120 feet by 60 feet is typically necessary. The space must be planned on or adjusted to accommodate drainage, fencing, and landscaping.
- Obtaining Permits: Research and adhere to local zoning laws and building codes.
- Surface Selection: Choosing the right surface for your tennis court is crucial for player performance and safety. There are three main types of tennis court surfaces: hardcourts, clay courts, and grass courts. Each surface offers unique characteristics and requires specific maintenance. Consider factors such as climate, budget, and intended usage when selecting the surface type. Laykold is a brand of tennis hardcourt constructed over an asphalt or concrete base that was chosen for this court construction.
Prepare the Ground for the Tennis Court
Ground preparation is crucial for creating a stable and level base for your tennis court.
- Clearing and Excavation: Excavation involves leveling the ground and grading it for proper drainage.
- Sub-Base Installation: The sub-base provides a stable foundation for your court and assists with drainage.
This court was built with 5 to 7 inches of 5000 psi poured concrete reinforced with fiber and wire mesh. The concrete was installed over 2 inches of structural foam and Marafi paper. Once the concrete cured we primed the concrete with the bond kote and applied two layers of resurfacer and two layers of paint.
Fencing and Drainage
Fencing and DrainageFencing and drainage are essential for the functionality and longevity of your court.
- Fencing: Surround your court with high-quality fencing to keep tennis balls within the playing area and ensure safety. Chain-link fences are common due to their durability and visibility. The recommended height for a tennis court fence is 10–12 ft (3.05–3.66 m), with 10 ft being the most common. The fence should be 10 ft high at each end of the court, and extend along the sides for at least 20 ft, as most tennis balls bounce to the corners or ends
- Drainage: Proper drainage prevents water accumulation that can damage the court surface and interfere with play.

Accessories and Tennis Court Markings
- Net and Posts: The net divides the court into two halves. We installed premier Douglas tennis netting with subs-mounted poles. Douglas makes the most durable, long-lasting USA-made tennis products in the industry. Douglas® has been perfecting tennis court facility equipment for over 50 years and offers a wide variety of tennis nets, tennis net posts, and custom products to accommodate any facility.
- Line Marking: Apply durable, visible paint to outline the boundaries, service boxes, and center marks of your court. The court was painted with Laykold products. Markings play a vital role in defining the boundaries and lines on a tennis court. The standard markings include baseline, singles sidelines, doubles sidelines, service lines, and center service lines. The tennis inlay was painted with a light blue color and the out-of-bounce perimeter was painted with a silver-gray color. The court was striped with white lines.
- Accessories: Consider additional features such as benches, scorekeepers, and storage for equipment. These enhance the usability and enjoyment of your court.
Constructing a tennis court is a significant project that, when done correctly, can provide endless hours of enjoyment and add substantial value to your property. This court located at an apartment complex built by Engel Berman was constructed on the second floor over the parking garage leveled with the beach. This is the latest Gappsi Tennis Court Sports Curt installation project in Long Beach NY.

Our team recently installed a Racquetball court in Atlantic Beach NY with Mateflex Sports Game Court tiles. Racquetball is a racquet sport and a team sport played with a hollow rubber ball on an indoor or outdoor court. The modern sport of racquetball uses a stringed racquet to paddle the ball to increase velocity and control. Unlike most racquet sports, such as tennis and badminton, there is no net to hit the ball over. Unlike squash, there is no tin (out-of-bounds area at the bottom of the front wall) to hit the ball above. In addition, the court’s walls, floor, and ceiling are legal playing surfaces, except court-specific designated hinders being out-of-bounds.
