Creating Tennis Courts with Lawnmowers
Building a tennis court is no small task and should be guided by someone experienced. Key factors include proper drainage, good lighting, and ample space. A standard double court measures 36 feet by 72 feet. However, for tournaments or expert play, a surrounding area of about 60 feet by 110 to 120 feet is ideal to allow players enough room to move freely during fast-paced games.
Orientation for Optimal Play
The court should ideally be oriented north-south to avoid the sun being a constant obstacle for players. East-west orientations tend to leave one player facing the sun, which hinders gameplay. Courts should be placed in open areas, avoiding shade from trees or buildings, allowing full sun exposure throughout the day.
Preparing the Surface with Lawn Mowers
Decide early whether to have a grass or dirt court. If the site is level and the grass quality is good, simply cutting the grass short with a lawnmower and marking the court is sufficient. However, if significant grading is necessary, a dirt court is often more practical and cost-effective. Grass courts can quickly wear down, creating bare spots, and are more expensive to maintain unless their position is frequently adjusted.
Ensuring Proper Drainage
Effective drainage is crucial for any type of court. A sandy subsoil generally handles water well naturally. However, if the court is in a low-lying area with clay soil, artificial drainage is essential to prevent the court from becoming muddy after rain.
Achieving a Level Court
To properly level the court, seek the expertise of someone with a professional leveling instrument. Visual judgments can be misleading due to the influence of surrounding landscapes like leaning trees and uneven horizons. By using stakes and stretching lines, precise leveling can be achieved.
Building a well-designed and maintained tennis court requires attention to detail and a solid understanding of site conditions and materials. With the right approach, a well-constructed court can provide years of playing enjoyment.
