Things To Consider When Installing A Tennis Court

By Erik Smith


Installing a tennis court at a place of business or private residence requires some thought and planning ahead of time. One of the main things people wonder about is tennis court construction cost. Many things go into determining the overall cost of installing a court. Court size, location and optional additions will all factor into the final price. The material used also affects the cost. Clay tennis court construction, for example, is often less expensive than other types.

There are several different materials used to make tennis courts. Which one a person chooses is usually decided by the person's budget, and also their main intention of the use of the court. One of the more popular choices used is clay. Other choices might be suspended courts, grass courts or concrete ones. Each different surface has its own different characteristics that require the players on them to adapt as best they can to them.

Clay tennis court construction remains always as one of the more popular choices for so many people. For starters, the installation costs involved are lower than the other materials offered. This is sometimes the final piece of news that will help make the decision to proceed for that person who has been on the fence. If there is any downside at all to clay voiced by anyone it is that it does require a bit more attention to proper maintenance than the other surfaces. Most people though feel this is really not a big deal.

When choosing a contractor it is wise to opt for one that is experienced in clay tennis court construction. A qualified contractor will be able to correctly lay the dimensions of the court out. He will also be able to help determine the best location for the court. It is often suggested that courts be layed out running in a northerly and southern direction instead of eastern and western. This is because the sunrise is in the east and the sunset is in the west. At these times of the day, playing on a east/west court would be severely hampered. However, there is no time of day on a north/south court that the sun should affect a game.

Because adding a tennis court, is a huge project, many people have a difficult time making a final decision. In cases such as these, it may be best to consult with a reputable and experienced contractor who can explain material needs and cost. This additional information may make a decision less stressful.
