The site is excavated by laser controlled machine with a fall in one direction. (a porous Tennis Court is a drain with a finish).
STAGE TWO
If necessary, a perforated plastic pipe is laid in stone to the perimeter to catch water coming from above and extract water from court base. A geotextile weed barrier is laid on the excavated base
STAGE THREE Pressed concrete edgings are laid to the perimeter on concrete with stone under, to allow water out to the drain
STAGES FOUR & FIVE
40 - 20mm Granite is rolled to consolidate at a depth of 150mm.
To clay sites a capping layer of gritty stone is laid to a depth of 100mm to stop the clay shrinking and moving.
Galvanised trapdoor lid net post sockets are set in concrete
STAGE SIX
Holes are drilled in the ground and the fence post's are concreted all the way down. The edgings are then haunched all the way round so that the fence foundation acts as a pile foundation for the edge too.
STAGES SEVEN & EIGHT
A 40mm depth of 20mm play base macadam is laid and rolled.
The next day a 6mm open textured play course is laid by our unique powered straightedges and rolled to a fine finish.
An acrylic or polyurethane finish is applied on top of the macadam for Tennitex, or carpets laid on top for Tenniturf or Texplay II.
FINISHED
