Here a few things questions you should ask yourself upon deciding to alter or build a new tennis court,

What do I want?
Before you even start a project with a sport construction company it is imperative that you write down your needs and have some sort of an idea of what you want the project outcome to be. You should ask yourself questions like: How many courts do I need/ want? Do my project circumstances require a hard court, soft court or a cushioned court? Do I need the tennis court all around the year round or only when there is good weather? Consider your geographical location as well; what does your climate permit?

Where do I want the court?
Before getting into the specifications it is essential to select the location for the tennis court construction. Factors such as direction the court faces and the measurement of the area are important factors. If the court is faced towards the wrong direction then it cannot be played on in winter season due to the lower sunlight where the players will be blinded. There are other factors such as whether there are trees in close proximity, or type of soil and neighborhood issues, that you have to consider.

How much do I want to spend?
Set up a budget for your project priorities. Remember, Location plays an important part in setting up a budget, take time to include site factors like permit requirements, water management, excavation and fill needs, access and the availability of utilities. Allow sufficient funding for court fencing and lighting as well, ask yourself: Do I want spectator seating? What kind of court fencing does my court require? Will I need windscreens? Do I want any awnings or cabanas installed? You have to know what you want and what your specifications are BEFORE you can know how much you are willing to spend.

What kind of surface do I want?
Choosing a surface is the most important step in tennis court construction. There are various factors in tennis that are decided by the type of surface such speed of court, expenses on routine maintenance, prices for installation or whether the court is playable in rain as well, etc. There are mainly three types of tennis court surfaces such as Porous types, Non-porous types and Cushioned non-porous type. For example if you have knee problems then you should go for a cushioned court rather than hard court. It depends on you to decide which type will best suit your needs.
