Start with the site. Then the specification.

Distinguish full-size singles courts, regulation doubles courts, adapted community courts, practice walls and portable demonstration installations. They serve different purposes and must not be presented as interchangeable.

A standard singles playing area measures 9.75 m by 6.40 m. Obtain the complete installation envelope from your designer, including foundations, structure, access and circulation. For competition use, verify the applicable specification and certification directly.

• Assess drainage, surface performance and slip risk in wet conditions.
• Consider wind, glare, orientation, neighbouring activity and lighting.
• Specify cleaning, corrosion protection and replacement components.
• Agree playable-weather limits separately from structural wind resistance.
• Set a practical closure and reopening process with the operator.

A relocatable court can be useful for temporary activation or phased investment. Ask about the supporting surface, foundations or anchoring, transport, assembly, utilities and permissions.

Obtain written confirmation of what is included, the intended installation duration and what changes when the court moves. A court kit price alone is not the installed project cost.

• Playing format and evidence of compliance for the intended use.
• Court package, freight, installation and groundworks responsibilities.
• Warranty exclusions, spare parts and maintenance requirements.
• Weather limitations, accessibility and operating guidance.
• References that the supplier has permission to share.
