TigerTurf Helps With Choosing The Right Tennis Court System

A tennis court in our home garden encourages families to get outdoors and burn up some energy together. The social and health benefits are obvious and the fun is guaranteed! There are several tennis court systems to choose from and in this article TigerTurf look at the different tennis court surfaces in terms of performance, durability, maintenance and aesthetics.

TigerTurf synthetic tennis and multi-sport surfaces produce ball speed, spin and bounce that is consistent over the entire surface. People will enjoy a high standard of play all year-round and get back on the court soon after rain on a TigerTurf tennis surface. It’s hard to beat a good quality artificial grass surface to play tennis on – cool in summer, non-slip in winter.

Low maintenance is one of the best reasons for choosing an artificial grass tennis surface rather than a natural grass court, as all that is needed is to spray moss if it appears. There is no irrigation required and the TigerTurf maintenance teams can groom the court annually if preferred

A natural grass or clay tennis court will need intensive maintenance, which is likely to cost significantly more in the future than it would to maintain a synthetic tennis surface. A natural surface requires easy regular access for irrigation equipment, rollers, mowers, fertilisers and sprayers. Clay needs specialised maintenance.

A TigerTurf synthetic grass court can be installed with the surface of your choice, incorporating the playing characteristics preferred. Choosing a low maintenance, durable surface with consistency of performance all year-round will add significant value to any property, and, more importantly, to family life.

Tiger Turf’s medium pile surfaces, including favourites Tournament and Tournament 1000, are long lasting, low maintenance and fit into any home and landscaped setting, and are suitable as multi-sport surfaces. Their texturised short pile surfaces, such as Advantage and Trophy are highly durable surfaces suitable for, not only tennis, but a range of other sports.  With suitable line markings for hockey, tennis, netball and basketball, your TigerTurf tennis court can be turned into a multi-sport training ground.

Tiger Turf also produce acrylic surfaces and advise that the pace of acrylic surfaces in general depends on the amount of sand added to the painted surface. The quality of the initial base construction will also affect the length of time it takes for the surface to dry.

Acrylic tennis courts can be used all year-round and the weather shouldn’t affect its durability. Acrylic tennis surfaces require very little maintenance to keep them in good playing condition, and removing debris, sweeping the surface occasionally and having repairs made as soon as they become necessary will all extend the life of the surface.

TigerTurf installs Mapei acrylic sports surfaces – durable, all-weather sports surfaces with high resistance to UV light. These quality surfaces produce reliable bounce and ball speed, with good traction. The surface dries quickly, is resistant to scuffing and is easily cleaned.
