Synthetic Turf Tennis Courts

Synthetic Turf Tennis court is a surface comprised of polypropylene or polyethylene grass fibers infilled with a specially graded green sand top dressing. It is an ideal surface for customers with older courts that have severe structual cracking. Because heavy equipment is not required for installation it is also ideal for in hard-to-access locations. However, it can also be installed on a new concrete, asphalt or aggregate base.

The resulting surface is slower and more forgiving, much like a clay court, without the maintenance and foul weather issues inherent with them. The specially designed sand filled surface holds firm, even after a heavy rain, reducing wait time to minutes instead of hours. The sand level and size may be adjusted to the customers preference on ball speed and foot play. A court with more sand will be slower and create a slip and slide effect more like a clay court. A court with less sand will be faster and offer more stability. If you would like more information or have questions on whether this surface is ideal for you, feel free to contact us.

Cushioned Tennis Courts

A cushioned tennis court is a system with a typical asphalt or concrete base with several layers of cushioned rubber applied before the acrylic finish. This special cushion barrier reduces impact and fatigue on player's knees, ankles and feet. It is also a more resilient surface and is more resistant to surface cracking and peeling due to harsh climate changes and U.V. effects.

The amount of cushion depth can vary depending on how much of a "cushiony feel" the customer wants. Sports Courts NZ uses Deco Turf cushioning systems from California Products. They have been a world leader in the sport court surface industry. DecoTurf’s multi-layer cushion tennis surface has been selected for use at the world’s most prestigious events including the US Open since 1978, the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, Davis Cup and Fed Cup matches, and at many of the finest facilities around the world. DecoTurf has a well-established network of trained authorized applicators around the world.
