TENNIS COURT FAQs

Court surfacing longevity has many different variables. Many indoor or outdoor clubs that have users on them every day will see the surface wear at a faster rate than will a residential court. Busy clubs with constant play may last 2 to 3 years, depending on use. Residential courts rarely get worn out to the point that commercial courts do. In residential settings, the surface will physically last forever, but similar to house paint, after 5 or 6 years in our harsh desert sun, the coatings may start to fade. At this point you may want to think about resurfacing to revitalize your court. Additionally, the type of slab used for the court has the biggest effect on longevity. A post-tension concrete slab will outlast all other concrete and asphalt courts.

Surfacing a new court involves the following. We start with a slab that has a light to medium broom finish. If there are saw cuts or joints in the court, those are filled with a special acrylic filler. If not, this step is skipped and we move right to sanding the entire court with a large, walk-behind floor sander with a 12 grit sanding pad. After, the court is blown off to ensure it is completely clean. Adhesion promoter is then applied to the entire court surface to ensure bonding between the bare concrete and the acrylic. Following, the base coat of acrylic resurfacer is used to hide any imperfections in the slab, cover any patches, and acts as a base coat for the following color coats. After base, courts are often laid out and boundaries are marked. Color coats come next and there are always two coats of this product. Once all the color coats are applied, the lines are laid out and striped with a two-part system consisting of a primer and the white, textured line paint. The court then needs to cure for 24 hours before the customer is ready to play!

Each court is different when it comes to resurfacing. The condition of the slab, condition of the acrylic material previously applied, and what the desired outcome from the client is all taken into consideration. Asphalt courts are the worst here in Arizona and do not last. These courts are often found to be cracked up, often times beyond repair, but attempts are made to get these courts to be less of an eyesore and less of a danger to players. It is always addressed up front that there is no “fixing” cracks in asphalt or concrete courts, and that the cracks will always return. Whether it is an asphalt or concrete court that we are resurfacing, the court is often times full of these cracks. The cracks are ground with hand or floor grinders to ensure that they are fairly level on each side of the crack. Any loose debris is then removed from the crack, and depending on the width and depth of the crack, cement or an acylic crack patch material is then used to fill the crack. The patch material then dries and is ground again, following by more patching, to ensure the smoothest repair we can. Once all the cracks are addressed, attention is turned to acrylic coatings. It is then a similar process to a new surface, starting with one to two coats of acrylic resurfacer, followed by the color coats and striping. Emphasis is put on the fact that old, cracked up courts, whether they be asphalt or concrete, will always have return of the cracks. Asphalt has no reinforcement in it, and concrete, whether it be rebar reinforced or post tension, expands and contracts with swings in temperature, which cause the cracks to reappear and continue to grow.

Hands down the best type of slab to use when building any type of game court is a post-tensioned concrete slab on a solid base. Any other concrete slab that is used will need to have relief cuts placed throughout them, in the form of sawcuts (always avoid tooled joints if you are going to build anything other than a post tensioned court,) and those sawcuts will crack the coatings and be visible through the coatings due to expansion and contraction of the concrete. Asphalt is a dated way of building courts and does not fair well here in Arizona. We understand that post-tension is the most expensive form of concrete slab to build, but when you are building the best courts, that is the only way to go. If you choose to build a court that is not a post-tensioned concrete slab, understand that you will have cracking along all of the relief cuts that are placed throughout the slab.

Choosing colors is often the hardest thing to decide when surfacing or resurfacing your court. If we can offer any guidance, we would start by asking if you want your court to stand out in your landscape, or, if you would like it to blend in with your landscape. Some customers like it to look like they have the US Open in their backyard. Others like more natural beige and green colors to blend in to the desert landscape. Some like the modern look of a blue and gray court. We recommend looking through our portfolio of jobs whether that be on our social media pages or our website, for the most accurate representation of colors you may like. The online court building tool is helpful, but often times computer or phone screens alter the way the color is actually perceived in real life. Once the contract is signed with the colors the customer chooses, it is not the responsibility of the company to change the color based off how it looks when it is applied.
