Tennis Court Installation Prep: Site, Fencing, Lighting

In part one of this two-part blog series, we looked at some of the simple ways to prepare for an upcoming tennis court installation anywhere on your property. From partnering with a great court manufacturer to ensuring the ideal space is available and ensuring the right permits are acquired, we went over several of the most vital initial steps to take as you prepare for tennis court installation.

At Courts Unlimited, we’re happy to offer the very best commercial and residential tennis court options for clients around Utah, in addition to options like basketball courts, pickleball courts and more. Let’s go over some other important prep considerations for your upcoming tennis court installation!

Site Preparation

While we discussed the evaluation of your space to ensure it’s optimal for a tennis court in part one of our series, another key factor here is site preparation. This can include tasks like grading, leveling and other basic soil prep for the area where the court will be installed.

In addition, if your court will require any drainage or irrigation systems to maintain proper conditions, these should be mapped out and planned for well before installation day. These are areas where our team will be happy to assist you with expertise and guidance.

Fencing Needs

Another area to think about with your tennis court installation: Fencing needs. While fencing is not always required for a residential court, it’s a great idea to have some type of fencing in place to protect both the court and any players from outside hazards.

If you’re installing your court for commercial use, this step will be even more important due to potential liability concerns. You’ll need durable fencing that meets all safety standards and keeps players safe during use.

Lighting and Other Features

Finally, it’s important to consider any additional features you might want for your court in advance. This can include lighting options for evening or night play, bleachers or seating areas, and even a nearby pavilion or other gathering space where you and others can relax before or after games.

These are areas where our team can assist you with both the design and implementation of various features. We have a wide range of options for every potential need within your court installation, ensuring it’s a perfect fit for all your specific needs.
