<\/p>\n

What are the measurements of a tennis court? How to choose the type of flooring (red field, concrete, etc.)? This guide aim of providing useful suggestions for designing a tennis court, focusing on the most important aspects such as the types of flooring, the measurements of the court, the reference standards, reference lines, net, etc.<\/p>\n

To avoid making mistakes, I suggest you to download the free 3D model created with this BIM software for architectural design and to follow all the information I have collected to facilitate your work.<\/p>\n

Tennis court design: 8 design tips<\/h2>\n

A series of specific parameters must be considered to plan the ideal tennis court<\/strong>. Some of them will be relevant in case of an indoor project design:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. accessibility<\/strong>, well connected by public transport and roads, presence of parking lots<\/li>\n
  2. possibility of carrying out further expansion and renovation<\/strong> works (such as integration of other courts or venues)<\/li>\n
  3. environmental health<\/strong>, quiteness, green areas<\/li>\n
  4. absence of strong prevailing winds<\/strong><\/li>\n
  5. absence of constraints<\/strong> of any kind that prevent courts to be covered with both seasonal or permanent solutions<\/li>\n
  6. environmental morphology, levels and tolerance of surface regularity<\/strong><\/li>\n
  7. connections to technical systems, water, electricity networks<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    \"Tennis

    The court surface must have suitable morphological and geological characteristics<\/strong>. In addition, it must be sufficiently flat, have good stability and absence of problems with standing water.<\/p>\n

    It is the designer responsibility to enhance the appearance of the court and prolong the life of the surface by preventing earth movements and reducing relating maintenance works.<\/p>\n

    Glare must\u00a0be\u00a0limited\u00a0<\/strong>to\u00a0avoid\u00a0a decrease in visual performance. Therefore, the sun should have a lateral position with respect to the main axis of the field.<\/p>\n

    Tribunes and seats for the public should be arranged according to the edges of the field, with special attention to the longer sides.<\/p>\n

    The possible presence of surrounding buildings must not cast shadows on the courts that can affect the visibility of players. In case of strong winds presence, tree and hedge barriers must be installed.<\/p>\n

    \"Tennis

     <\/p>\n

    The ideal environmental context<\/strong> for a tennis court should be set in green areas with the presence of plants and hedges. In this regard, we need to consider some design criteria:<\/p>\n
