Sports Courts Design and Installation Questions

  • How long does it take to build a court?

    For synthetic grass combined with asphalt, concrete, or road base, expect a construction timeline of approximately three weeks, subject to weather conditions. Acrylic surfaces with a concrete base require three weeks for base works, with an additional 28 days needed for the concrete to cure before applying the acrylic surfacer.

  • What surface is better? Synthetic or acrylic?

    The choice depends on the sport being played. Schools typically prefer acrylic hard courts for their multipurpose nature, while residential settings may opt for synthetic grass, especially for tennis.

  • Is concrete better than Roadbase and Asphalt?

    In terms of longevity, yes, concrete is superior. However, roadbase is acceptable as a base material for synthetic grass. Roadbase is cost-effective but not as durable as concrete.

  • What is easier to maintain as far as surfaces go?

    Acrylic surfaces are easier to maintain compared to synthetic grass. Synthetic grass requires regular sweeping to maintain the pile condition, and a specialised "clean sweep" broom is available at an additional cost.

  • Will I need to consider drainage?

    Yes, proper drainage is essential for court integrity. A natural flow of at least 1% is recommended. Existing courts should be assessed during resurfacing to prevent mould buildup and surface damage.

  • Can my existing court be resurfaced, and how long will this take?

    Yes, existing courts can be resurfaced, typically within a week, depending on whether it's synthetic or acrylic. Issues with the base, especially with synthetic grass, may arise during the process, but these will be addressed promptly.

  • Can we replace our accessories at the time of court resurfacing?

    Absolutely! We offer a wide range of high-quality Australian accessories for various outdoor sports, ensuring your court is fully equipped and ready for action.

  • Can you help with accessing grants?

    Yes, we collaborate with government and non-government organisations to assist clients in applying for and obtaining grants for sports facility projects.
