About Me
Colin's Construction Blog: Building a House

Hi, there! My name is Colin. Last year, I finally completed some construction work on my home. For many years, I had been meaning to do lots of jobs around the place. I wanted to install a new bathroom downstairs. However, I had no idea how to do this so I avoided everything. My wife continued to complain about the lack of progress so I eventually contacted a team of contractors. A plumber, an electrician and a construction team visited my home and completed the work. As they did so, they taught me an awful lot about the best way to complete the job. I hope you find my blog useful.

Do you need to think about a tennis court repair?

If you have a tennis court at your home, sports centre, or club, then you will appreciate the benefits that can come with regular exercise and friendly sporting competition, but to allow full use of any tennis court, you must ensure that the court is maintained to an appropriate standard. If you have owned a tennis court for any length of time, you will know that after a while the court will start to look a little worn as it is subjected to the rigours of regular matches and you will have to take the time to rectify problems as they occur and arrange for a tennis court repair service so that the court doesn't fall into disuse.

What can go wrong with your tennis court?

Any tennis court that has been used for a while could well benefit from the attention of a tennis court repair company, although, not all problems could need professional attention. You should be regularly carrying out basic maintenance including checking that the net is in good repair and sweeping the surface with a tennis court broom to keep it free of debris. You must prevent the grime from becoming ingrained. These are all simple things that you can do yourself, but there are times that a more serious tennis court repair is needed.

Does your tennis court need to be resurfaced?

If you want to enjoy a tennis match, then you must be able to run around on the court without the risk of tripping over an uneven part of the surface, splashing into a puddle or finding that the ball refuses to bounce correctly. All of these problems can occur if the surface of your tennis court was constructed incorrectly or has become damaged in some way. If you believe that the surface of your tennis court needs attention, then asking a tennis court repair company to resurface the court is likely to be the best option.

What faults can occur with a tennis court surface?

If you notice water starting to pond on the surface of your tennis court, then this is likely to be an indication that the surface slope isn't right. A properly designed slope will allow the water to run off the court and not gather in the middle where it could eventually start to break down the surface of the court. A similar problem can occur if the drainage from the tennis court has not been adequately considered and the court is left to become waterlogged and damaged. A tennis court resurface will always be needed eventually but the periods between each resurfacing will be much shorter if the court is not correctly designed.
