Do you have a tennis court that needs reconstructing? Tennis courts are hard wearing and should last for many years when they are correctly maintained, but when problems start to appear with the surface you may need to consider having it entirely reconstructed. Some of the problems that may require reconstruction include:
If you are interested in having a home tennis court constructed you need to make a decision on the surface you want to have. Undoubtedly the hard court is the most popular surface for courts in the UK, but you also have a range of options such as synthetic grass and artificial clay. With the variety of possibilities available it can be difficult to make a decision. So here are some good reasons to choose a hard court.
One of the things that often discourages people from having a tennis court constructed on their property is that they assume that getting planning permission to build it would be a hassle. But it is interesting to learn that actually in most scenarios there is no need to get any form of planning permission for the construction of the court.
When you have your own home tennis court, it’s important to keep it in good condition. The best way to do this is to have a number of rules written down and visible. This allows anyone who uses the court to know what is expected of them.
Many people love the idea of having their own private tennis court constructed. But some people worry that if they have a court built it will lead to them overplaying the game and developing the painful condition of tennis elbow.

Good maintenance is an important aspect of owning your own tennis court. Being able to play on the court any time you like is certainly a lot of fun, but it’s vital that you keep it in top condition. If you don’t put in the effort with the upkeep of the court you can shorten its lifespan and make it less appealing to play on.
Hard courts are the most durable style of tennis court but even they require maintenance to stay at their best. For the most part this means regularly sweeping the court and removing detritus such as leaves, pine needles and more. But even if you carry out regular maintenance, there will be a natural build-up of dirt and organic materials on your court and the only way that you can get rid of this is through power washing.
Compared to a real grass tennis court, artificial grass is an extremely low maintenance option. But that doesn’t mean that you can do absolutely no work and assume it will still be fine to play on week in, week out. If you’ve got a synthetic grass court there are a few things that you can do to maintain it, so that the surface retains its characteristics and will have a long lifespan.
