If you play the time-honored game of tennis, you might want to invest in your own DecoTurf Tennis Court. The advantages are many.
- No need to reserve ahead of time
- No club fees to pay
- No tedious travel to and from.
We recently installed this tennis court for a private residence in Belle Terre, NY, overlooking the water. The base for this asphalt tennis court is made of layers of crushed stone, gravel, and stone dust, providing a stable foundation. The base is critical for the court’s durability and stability. It should be designed to prevent the court from shifting or settling. We installed two layers of asphalt on 6 inches of oversized recycled concrete and 4 inches of finer state-approved crushed concrete. The final layer is the DecoTurf paint.
DecoTurf Tennis Court
DecoTurf has built its reputation by manufacturing the highest-quality tennis court surfaces for all project types, from prestigious tournaments to private residence surfaces. Their tennis court surfacing products are known for their consistent speed of play, proper ball bounce, durability, low maintenance, vibrant, long-lasting colors, and overall customer value.
Hard Courts with cushioning and an acrylic paint color system are a popular solution for customers who want the low maintenance of a hard court with some of the resilience and “give” of a soft court. Several rubberized cushioning systems have been developed to ease the pain of playing on a hard court. Some cushion systems like DecoTurf utilize 2 to 3 coats of heavy-grade rubber granules followed by three or more coats of fine-grade rubber granules squeezed on top of the asphalt surface.
Cushioned hard courts can have a medium to fast pace of play depending on how much sand is used in the acrylic coatings. The big draw for cushioned hard courts is that they require virtually no maintenance. You must blow or brush leaves and debris off the surface and pressure clean as needed!
For this project, we kept the tennis court’s paint 4 inches away from the very edge of the asphalt. We used DecoTurf paint made explicitly for sports game courts. We used a darker green for the outer perimeter and a navy blue for the center of the tennis court, then striped with white lines.
Running Bond Border
We bordered the tennis court with a charcoal color border for the perimeter and a running bond border in multiple gray colors. The Running Bond, also known as the stretcher bond, is a type of brick bond that is characterized by its simple, repetitive pattern. In this bond, bricks are laid with their long sides (or stretchers) facing outwards, and each row of bricks is offset from the one above and below it by half a brick length.
Out of Bounce Netting and Fencing
We fenced the tennis court with out-of-bounce netting, which looks much softer than chain link fencing. Three-inch powder-coated posts 12 feet high were used. Netting is paramount for sports fields as it prevents balls from leaving the restricted area and keeps spectators safe from unfortunate accidents while playing.
Dominator Netting – Finally, an Easy-to-Adjust Net
We installed regulation tennis netting. The posts are adjustable and can be extended to play volleyball, badminton, or pickleball. Elevate your tennis game with our adjustable-height tennis nets. Perfect for players of all levels, these nets offer versatility and convenience.
Every tennis net we sell is adjustable, so it doesn’t matter if your posts are not exactly standard distance apart. Your tennis net will fit. And if you have a slightly smaller court like some of our clients do, you ran out of space, but you love tennis so much you just had to squeeze a tennis court in, it’s not a problem.
Dominator Adjustable Basketball Hoop
We installed a Dominator basketball hoop on one side of the tennis court. The Dominator basketball hoop is an aluminum adjustable 72-inch professional hoop. Gappsi is an authorized dealer for Dominator, and we have them on display at the Gappsi showroom.
With a professional Dominator basketball hoop, you always have the home-court advantage. Other hoops rust and become difficult to adjust over time, but Dominator hoops don’t have that problem.
Multi-Sport Game Court Options
A tennis court is a versatile playing area for the entire family! It offers a variety of games that don’t require extensive equipment or complicated setup and that both children and adults can enjoy!
You can add other sports to a tennis court by installing nets, hoops, and other equipment or dividing the court with cones.
