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.

decoturf-tennis-courts---california-sports-surfaces-long-island-ny3Hard 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

decoturf-tennis-courts---california-sports-surfaces-long-island-nyWe 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.

decoturf-tennis-courts---california-sports-surfaces-long-island-ny1Dominator 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.

Posted by Gappsi Group on

laykold-tennis-court-at-breeze-oceanfront-rental-living-in-long-beach-3Gappsi installs and provides Laykold Tennis Court surfaces.  Laykold offers top-quality tennis court surfacing, to help create more advanced tennis courts that support athletes and their game. Laykold tennis court surfaces are found at professional venues, including the U.S. Open. This is due to the many benefits their industry-leading tennis court surfacing has to offer.

Laykold from Advanced Polymer Technology is a cutting-edge tennis court surfacing material that helps make court surfaces better than ever. Their goal in creating and providing this surfacing to athletes, their coaches, and casual tennis players is to provide a surface that supports them by helping to reduce fatigue and the risk of injury.

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.

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.

MultiSports Game Courts For Pickleball And Tennis

Posted by Gappsi Group on

MultiSports-Game-Courts-For-Pickleball-And-Tennis1

MultiSports Game Courts For Pickleball and Tennis in the backyard are a great way to optimize space in your driveway, on your property, or playground. With the growing popularity of Pickleball, there has been a demand for smaller courts and combination courts to accommodate players. In areas where the interest in Pickleball exceeds tennis, blended lines are added in another color so that the courts can be used for both sports.

Pickleball has become one of the fastest-growing sports in the nation. The demand for places to play Pickleball leads to the question, “Can Pickleball be played on a tennis court?”

Yes, Pickleball can be played on a tennis court surface, and we will discuss some great options to keep Tennis and Pickleball players happy.

Pickleball Lines Blended With Tennis Court Lines

A common option, that is working well, is to maximize the current “real estate” of existing tennis courts. That is usually a “win-win” and has been done for years with tennis and basketball court combinations. By USTA and ITF rules, tennis court lines must be white. Pickleball court lines can be added in a different color so that tennis or pickleball can be played on the same court (at different times, of course) and the eye can focus on the applicable set of playing lines.

**The USTA’s children’s tennis program known as 10 & under tennis recommends painting the Pickleball lines in the same color family as the court surface color. For example, if the court base color is blue, apply Pickleball lines in a shade of blue that is lighter or darker than the surface color. This makes the lines less distracting to tennis players.

What Is a Custom MultiSports Game Courts?

When it comes to active sports, most games require a large area of land e.g., tennis or soccer. Then it may also be challenging when different family members have different sports preferences.

That’s where multisports game courts come to your rescue.

Multisports game courts have a customized design that caters to all your favorite sports. And it is only a quarter the size of a standard tennis court. An average multi-game court is about 30’ x 60’ or 1,800 sq. ft. You can alter the multi-game court dimensions based on your requirements.

How Is It Beneficial?

Customized multisports game courts create more efficient use of space and land. When you have a limited budget, multi-purpose sporting courts are an economical solution.

Custom multi-game courts can accommodate up to 8 games. These include games like:

  • giant chess
  • badminton
  • basketball
  • shuffleboard
  • bocce ball
  • giant pool
  • tetherball
  • batting cage
  • putting green

Various combinations of these can be incorporated depending on your preference and the size of the court. Most court dimensions range from 18′ x 18′ to 56′ x 104′.

Further, these courts allow you to play different sports depending on the season. For instance, you can practice hockey on an outdoor court in January. So instead of building separate areas for the different games, you can simply take down the nets and play hockey on your tennis courts. Or add a couple of all-pro-hoops to your court for basketball games. This way, you can save land, money, and tonnes of expenses in maintenance.

MultiSports-Game-Courts-For-Pickleball-And-TennisReasons Why You Should Consider Custom Multi  Sports Game Courts

It provides a safe place for your children to play with their friends and family. Multi-sport game courts offer a great option with convenience for a healthy lifestyle in the comfort of your backyard.  Allows your kids some time away from their digital screens and gadgets by diverting them from video games, the internet, and televisions, and getting them off their phones.  It is a great way to develop, practice, and fine-tune your sports skills.  Custom multi-game court dimensions ensure optimum use of land resources while creating a fun environment that allows everyone in the family to engage in their favorite game.  Custom multi-game courts are low maintenance and a great way to make the most of your space when you have a limited budget.  Having multisports game courts in your backyard helps in developing a habit of sports and fitness that will benefit your entire family.

**Remember Sports Game Courts Lighting & Fencing For Night Time Play**

Consider this step if you wish to play at night. The standard protocol is to install two 1500-watt light poles near the court’s center.

Fencing is essential when building multiple courts. It promotes safe playing and viewing and prevents the ball from getting out of the playing area. Rust-resistant wire materials are more popular, and the preferred height ranges from 4 feet to 10 feet.

Our Pickleball Court Construction Jobs Include:

  • Clearing the land for your pickleball court
  • Grading the space to achieve proper terrain
  • Ensuring there is no slope
  • Attending to soil and drainage issues
  • Landscaping around the pickleball court, if required

  • Cost of Installing a Pickleball Court
  • The cost of installing a pickleball court varies depending on several factors including the desired size of the court, drainage, excavation, grading, and site layout which all affect the cost per square foot.
