Tennis Court Construction Surfaces

tennis-court-construction-company---woodbury-ny-11797-6Tennis requires precision, agility, and speed. The court must provide a consistent and reliable playing surface for players to excel. A well-constructed tennis court enhances gameplay and reduces the risk of injuries. Therefore, selecting suitable materials and techniques becomes essential.

Our tennis court surfaces are built to enhance performance and reduce injury risk. There are benefits to each type of tennis court playing surface. Tennis court surface options include clay courts or Har-Tur synthetics, concrete courts, asphalt courts, synthetic turf courts, and grass courts. Asphalt and concrete courts provide a durable, highly stable surface for fast action, high bounces, and ball control. These tennis courts are ideal for tennis players with a higher skill level. Asphalt courts also provide year-round playability and are a cost-effective option.

Ashpahlt Tennis Court Construction in Woodbury, NY

Asphalt is a durable and flexible material designed to withstand weather and play. Cracks appear over time, but unlike other materials, they are less expensive and easy to repair. Because of its easy upkeep, your courts will easily be tip-top. In our recent project in Woodbury, NY, our team built a multi-sports game court with asphalt. We used two layers of asphalt base over 8 inches of oversized recycled concrete and 4 inches of state-approved crushed concrete. Their combination creates a surface that ensures a consistent ball bounce, which is invaluable for a fair and exciting game.

There are three primary layers: the porous asphalt layer, the binding layer, and finally, the finish layer.  The porous asphalt layer offers drainage capabilities, allowing water to seep through and avoid puddles on the court. The binding layer binds the aggregate material and the asphalt, ensuring a cohesive structure. The final finish layer is what players interact with and is often colored and textured for visual appeal and improved performance.

Tennis Sports Game Court Finished Layer and Line Markings

Once the construction is completed, it’s time to add the finishing touches. The last and final coat of green for the outside perimeter is applied on the home tennis court in Woodbury. Our team will let it dry for a few hours, then return later tonight to complete the line striping.  Adding the lines on the court allows players to accurately determine in-play and out-of-play areas.

Line markings need to be accurate and distinct for visibility, and the net installation process also requires precision for the court to be match-ready. This requires professional expertise and knowledge, ensuring a playing experience that matches the requisites of a standardized game.

Multi – Sports Game Court Netting | Tennis Court Netting | Pickleball Court Netting | Volleyball Court Netting

tennis-court-construction-company---woodbury-ny-11797-9Gappsi installed a Dominator in-ground adjustable net. The Dominator Heavy-Duty Inground System is an entirely rust-proof aluminum in-ground net system that meets official regulations. Each post comes with a separate sleeve that is permanently set in the concrete, allowing the posts to be removed from the ground when not in use. Whether you choose our square or circle model, you can be sure the posts are Dominator quality.  The netting is currently adjusted to be a tennis court. It can be raised or lowered for badminton, volleyball, and pickleball. 

Dominator Adjustable In-Ground Basketball Hoops

Gappsi installed two Dominator basketball hoops on each side of the multi-sports game court. The Dominator hoop is a professional-grade, in-ground basketball hoop perfect for your home driveway, backyard, playground, and more.

Two dominator hoops and four light posts with 8 LED lights were installed to illuminate the area for play anytime. They are all made of aluminum.  Gappsi is an authorized dealer for the Dominator sports product line.

tennis-court-construction-company---woodbury-ny-11797-8Perimeter Fencing for Sports Game Court

We installed a 10-foot black chain-link fence around the court’s perimeter, with a top metal and a bottom rail.  Installing a perimeter fence around a sports game court can provide many benefits, including:

  • Security: A fence can keep out unwanted visitors, prevent vandalism, and deter theft. You can lock the gate to ensure only authorized personnel can enter after hours.
  • Safety: A fence can keep the ball contained and prevent spectators from coming too close and being injured.
  • Aesthetics: You can customize the materials and colors to match the theme of the court.
  • Time: Fencing can prevent players from wasting time searching for lost balls.
  • Boundaries: Fencing can set boundaries between players and spectators.
  • Privacy: A fence can reinforce your home’s security and keep passersby away from your children.
  • Value: A secure outdoor basketball court can improve the value and appearance of your property.

This is the latest tennis court and multisport area built in Woodbury, Nassau County, on Long Island, New York.

Backyard Basketball Court Renovation Smithtown NY

View Gappsi’s YouTube Channel for Videos on Backyard Basketball Court Renovation in Smithtown, Long Island, NY

Does your backyard basketball court need renovation?  We build more than backyard sports game courts. We Build Memories!  If our customers can dream it, we can design and install it. We cater to homeowners, condominiums/HOAS, schools, camps, country clubs, gyms, recreation centers, real estate developers, and area businesses.  We design and build incredibly customized courts such as basketball, tennis, pickleball, and golf for residential and commercial use. Our personalized sports projects range from purchasing and installing basketball hoops and other sports equipment and accessories to full-court sports facilities encompassing single and multi-court offerings. Additionally, we offer our customers personalized court painting and court maintenance services, including patches and repairs.

backyard-basketball-court-renovation-smithtown-nyIn our recent backyard basketball court renovation project in Smithtown, NY, we installed a MateFlex basketball court over an asphalt base. The basketball court was an existing asphalt court that needed many repairs. We re-leveled all the sunk and cracked areas using Patch Bond.  Patch bond for asphalt repair holes, cracks, and ruts in asphalt or concrete surfaces.

The entire basketball sports game court floor was rel-leveled and then Mateflex tiles were installed. Mateflex tiles are famous for sports flooring because they are durable, comfortable, and versatile. They are a superior choice among other sports game court tile options.

Why Choose Mateflex Sports Game Court Tiles

  • Comfort – Mateflex tiles have a leaf spring design that absorbs impact and reduces stress on joints and muscles. This allows players to play longer and harder with less stress on their legs and knees.
  • Durability – Mateflex tiles are made from high-grade, durable materials that are resistant to wear and tear. They can withstand a sustained load of 16,000 pounds per square foot.
  • Drainage – Mateflex tiles have a rib system that allows superior drainage, so courts can be used quickly after rain.
  • Versatility – Mateflex tiles can be used for indoor or outdoor courts and customized to fit any playing space.
  • Easy to install and maintain – Mateflex tiles are easy to install and maintain.

The basketball hoop was already there. As the customer requested, we added the Jordan logo imprinted onto the tiles.  You can add different colors to Mateflex sport court tiles to create custom patterns or boundaries:

  • Standard colors: Mateflex HomeCourt tiles come in 16 standard colors.
  • Custom logos and designs: You can paint custom logos and designs directly onto the tiles.
  • Multiple colors: You can select multiple colors to create custom patterns or boundaries.
  • Game lines: You can mask out game lines with tape, then apply a specialized primer and polyurethane paint.

backyard-basketball-court-renovation-smithtown-ny1Synthetic Turf and Putting Green

Behind the basketball hoop, there was an unused area. It used to be a big mulch bed that the customer had to take care of. We turned it into a small putting green area, and the client loved this idea.  We installed synthetic turf with a putting green, including three American flags and cups.

With a putting green composed of artificial grass, you can enjoy golfing with your family every day of the week.  If you’re an avid golfer or just considering adding a fun outdoor activity to your home, give Gappsi a call today!  With artificial turf instead of natural grass, the putting green is the exact right height and beautifully green every day of the year.

Putting Green Turf Terminology

To know what you are shopping for, spend the time to become acquainted with the specifications and terms used by the artificial turf industry.  Once you understand what each item means, you can hone in on which products would or wouldn’t work for your backyard putting green.  Even though there’s a bit of variety to artificial grass products, there’s not much variety in the base materials they’re made of.  There are three options:

  1. Polyethylene
  2. Polypropylene
  3. Nylon

Polyethylene is mainly used in the turf’s backing, not the yarn fibers. Fake grass for putting greens is usually made from polypropylene or nylon, and each has distinct advantages.  Nylon is the more durable (and more expensive) of the two.  Most of the best-putting green turf products will have nylon fibers.  Polypropylene more closely approximates the look and feel of real grass, though it’s more prone to matting and ruts than nylon is.

The silica sand infill absorbs some of the ball’s bounce, like soil.  Turf infill is those tiny bits of material sprinkling between the artificial grass blades. For example, if the edges are similar to blades of grass, then infill is the dirt for the turf. Adding silica sand infill helps your faux grass blades stand up and keep their real look in high-traffic areas. The silica sand infill also gives you the feel of walking on real grass by emulating the impact absorption qualities of soil. It helps weigh down the imitation turf and helps keep the artificial grass from getting wrinkles or ripples caused by movement. We add Microban, too.  Microban is an antimicrobial product that helps prevent the growth of mold and mildew. It’s non-toxic, so it’s also safe for kids and pets.

Synthetic Turf Grass Fringe

We used synthetic turf to frame the court and putting green area as a fringe. A fringe is a section of the fairway, sometimes called the “apron.” This apron connects the green and the fairway. Based on the design, synthetic turf fringe can be several feet wide and as narrow as six inches. Do you need it? I would say yes unless you want the ball to roll off the green.

We created a little sitting area on the opposite side with synthetic turf and installed out-of-bounce netting to prevent the basketball from entering the woods.

The clients are pleased. They made a lot of use of their minor sports game court. This is the latest sports game court built by Gappsi in Smithtown, NY.

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 LivingThe 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.

laykold-tennis-court-at-breeze-oceanfront-rental-living-in-long-beach-4Planning 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.

laykold-tennis-court-at-breeze-oceanfront-rental-living-in-long-beach-5Fencing and Drainage

Fencing 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.

laykold-tennis-court-at-breeze-oceanfront-rental-living-in-long-beach-ny2Constructing 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.

Artificial pet turf is a low-maintenance alternative to natural grass. You and your pets will love it because it’s pet-friendly fake turf that your pets won’t be able to distinguish from real grass. The best part? It’s easy to clean.

gappsi-showroom-and-products3Sports Game Courts with Synthetic Turf

A turf court in your backyard or your school campus provides an enjoyable and safe surface for a wide range of sports.  From tennis to bocce ball, turf courts are becoming increasingly popular due to their low maintenance and high performance. When compared to natural grass surfaces, artificial turf is considerably safer and more reliable.

If you operate a sports complex or if you have kids who constantly want to practice sports at home, you know the challenges with maintenance for natural grass. Wearing out grass through frequent athletic practice can ruin your yard at home. For sports facilities that rely on full fields for weekend tournaments, having worn spots from weekday practices can disappoint the players and parents on the weekend.

That’s where artificial sports turf from Gappsi enters the picture. Our fields are durable, great value, and perfectly designed.  The artificial turf comes in various colors to offer the look and feel you want to achieve.  Never worry about overuse leading to bare spots and dead grass. Never cancel tournaments because of heavy overnight rains again. Whether you need an indoor or outdoor athletic field or turf, the quality of our synthetic turf options can make each team feel like it is playing professional sports. Let the constant practices and games commence!

Sports Game Courts

In front of the showroom, we displayed a miniature bocce ballcourt. Our bocce sports game courts are built with synthetic wood that will not warp.  Using synthetic wood sides, there are no exposed nails and no maintenance. In addition, the synthetic turf used is made specifically for bocce ball courts.

Racquetball Sports Game Court in Atlantic Beach NY

racquetball-sports-game-court-in-atlantic-beach-nyOur 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.

Racquetball is played between various players on a team who try to bounce the ball with the racquet onto the ground so it hits the wall; then the opposing team’s player cannot bounce it back to the wall.

The racquetball court installed used two different colors of blue.  A lighter blue for the outside perimeter and a navy blue for the racquetball court inlay. The court was striped with white lines.  Game lines are masked out using quality tapes.  They are then treated with specialized primers and an application of a high-performance, specialized 2-part polyurethane paint.

To complete the look we installed a synthetic turf fringe all the way around to separate the fence area.   The look created a decorative border around the court between the fence and the Mateflex tiles.

4 Benefits of Choosing Sports Game Court Tiles

If you own a sports facility, you want to offer the most durable courts for people to play on. Over time and after much wear and tear, your courts may need some TLC. This may have you considering different options, such as sports game court tiles, to get your courts up to their greatest playing potential.  Sports game court tiles are typically easy to maintain and provide a great alternative to regular floors.

Minimize Risk of Injury – When you install proper flooring you significantly minimize risk.  Injuries can include skin abrasions, and concussions compared to concrete. Sports game courts are designed to absorb the shock of falls.  It has just enough grip to allow players to easily pivot, scoot, run, and jump without falling.

Versatility – One of the key strengths of sports game court tiles is their adaptability. They can be installed over various base materials, including concrete and asphalt, making them an ideal choice for facilities that host multiple sports. This versatility extends to both indoor and outdoor settings, accommodating sports like basketball, tennis, volleyball, and more. The ability to quickly convert and adapt these spaces is particularly beneficial for multi-purpose sports complexes.

UV Resistance and Durability – Many sports game court tiles are manufactured with UV-resistant materials, which helps in maintaining their appearance and functionality over time, especially in outdoor settings. This resistance to sun damage ensures that the colors remain vibrant and the material does not degrade quickly, providing a long-lasting, attractive playing surface.

Maintenance – Sports game court tiles are designed for ease of maintenance. Unlike traditional court surfaces that may require specialized maintenance routines, these tiles can be cleaned with simple, non-abrasive cleaning solutions. This ease of upkeep not only saves time but also reduces the long-term maintenance costs associated with sports flooring.

racquetball-sports-game-court-in-atlantic-beach-ny1Mateflex Uses Expansion Joint Technology

When plastic is put out into the elements, it will expand and contract with varying temperatures and sun conditions. If this is not accommodated in the design and installation of the modular tile surface, several issues can arise. The surface can shift over time, buckle in extreme heat, and cause inaccurate game line dimensions just to name a few. Matéflex accounts for all of this with its unique expansion joint technology.

This technology is what sets Mateflex outdoor court flooring surfaces above the competition for all sports. The expansion joints allow the tiles to be flexible and conform better to uneven sub-surfaces, providing more consistent ball bounces than any other outdoor tile on the market.

The expansion joints also allow the court to be fastened to the subsurface around the perimeter of the court. This is done for several practical reasons, the first being to prevent physical or thermal movement of the surface throughout its long service life. When properly fastened, the tiles are designed to expand and contract within their footprint, eliminating any concerns with thermal expansion. This allows the tiles to be trimmed tight to any vertical obstruction, giving the court a very clean and finished look. It also ensures that your game line dimensions will be accurate regardless of temperature and sun conditions.

The expansion joint technology is one of many reasons Matéflex Flooring surfaces are the perfect balance of performance and durability for your next outdoor sports game court project.
