How do you spend your free time? For far too many people it is easy to slump in front of the television set every evening and settle down on the sofa to binge on the latest box set from your streaming provider. You know that you should be trying to do something more active but often the effort of going out to the gym or the local sports centre is just too much. Alternatively, maybe there are times that you would love to go out and exercise but the local leisure centre isn't open or is fully booked so you can't go. If you find yourself struggling to use your local sports amenities then there is a simple solution. Why not contact a company who can arrange a tennis court construction on your property?

Planning tennis court construction

If you have been thinking about all of the advantages that can come with building a tennis court on your property, then you could be tempted to start clearing some land and laying out your own court, but it isn't as simple as that. Tennis court construction involves a lot of technical expertise and it is best to work with a company that specialises in tennis court construction to ensure that you end up with a tennis court that will be fit for service for many years.

Plan the drainage properly

With any tennis court construction project arranging the tennis court surface to achieve the right drainage will be critical. Your chosen construction company will have to plan the slop of the court so that the rainwater runs freely off the court and does not gather into pools making the surface unplayable. If water starts to gather on the court surface, not only will it be impossible to play, but the water could start to breakdown the acrylic court surface and cause it to require replacement far sooner than it otherwise would.

Don't forget the maintenance basics

Once your tennis court construction company have completed a proper court surface for your court, you are ready to start playing, but you will still need to schedule a regular maintenance regime to keep your court in great condition. Removing any debris from the surface of the court and ensuring it is cleaned as needed is the best way to provide your home tennis court with a long playing life and ensuring you can play tennis any time you feel like it.
