COURT MAINTENANCE 

Maintaining an acrylic tennis court involves several steps to ensure the surface remains smooth, safe, and suitable for playing. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to maintain an acrylic tennis court:

  1. Cleaning: Regular cleaning is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of an acrylic tennis court. Use a low pressure washer to remove dirt, dust, and debris from the surface. Avoid using cleaning chemicals, as they can damage the court’s surface.

  2. Sweeping: After cleaning, use a broom or brush to sweep the surface in a back and forth motion. This will help to remove any remaining debris and spread any puddles of water evenly.

  3. Cracks and holes: Check the surface for any cracks, holes or other damage and repair as necessary. This will prevent further damage to the surface and ensure that the court remains level and smooth.

  4. Resurfacing: Resurfacing the court is typically required every 3 to 5 years, depending on usage and maintenance practices. The resurfacing process involves applying a new layer of acrylic coating to the surface to restore its original appearance and playability.

  5. Watering: Watering the court regularly is necessary to maintain its slip resistance and durability. Use a hose to sprinkle the surface evenly and avoid pooling of water in any one area.

  6. Netting and lines: Check the netting and lines regularly to ensure they are secure and in good condition. Repair or replace as necessary to prevent accidental tripping or slipping.

  7. Sun exposure: Protect the court from excessive sun exposure to prevent fading and damage to the surface. Consider installing shade structures or planting trees around the perimeter of the court.

By following these steps, you can maintain an acrylic tennis court that is safe, playable and aesthetically pleasing for many years to come.
