Building a Tennis Court in 2 minutes 

Yup. Bewildering. Beautiful vid and court, for sure. But, there is a reason, obviously, why tennis court fences are 10 ft high. And even at that height, balls find a way to go ever them.

You would lose balls on every, single point, surely? Mind boggling.

I think the height isn’t that much of an issue. It’s not standard, and if you’re not very experienced, itll probably be difficult to keep all the balls. However, players with decent control typically don’t misfire to the sides. I recently played doubles with some teammates and even when we weren’t playing seriously and we’d continue the rally from out of bounds, the balls really never touched the area of the fence and all of them would accumulate behind the baseline.

@@Insomnia_tic seems like you never experienced heavy topspin cross court shots

I would definitely go for the maximum run off for the sides. I think 1.5m each side from memory. ours is great for singles and tight for doubles as it can be a bit tight on the fence side

Depends on where you are, you will just need to call around different artificial grass mobs and ask

That's crazy. Did it include other things? Fences or retaining walls?

yes it is, I figgured I would rather pay hundreds of dollars for tennis balls then spend thousands on a fence and block the view

@@DamianCandetti you could always do netting, it doesn't quite block The view and can be installed over a tense cord/rope that is attached to 2 pole on both ends of the that white fence

if you use a plate compacter or roller you should not be able to stick a finger through at all wet or dry. Did you use dolimite for the base? Keep in mind the courts are normally not perforated so there should be no water going through once installed.

@@DamianCandetti I guess they just used regular DG without any bonding additive. I better not walk on the turf when wet.

I have just got a couple drains on the lower sides, however with 400sqm of water it really needs more

I think it was around 14k, but this was before everything became stupid expencive

Prices have gone up, I was quoted 30/40k and did it all for around 17k

roughly 11 ton and it is a special sand but cant remember off the top of my head sorry

I was quoted 35-40k by multiple people and completed it for something like 15k

its road base (fine gravel) then compacted hard, but no concrete. then fake turf

What ia The height Of The grass?

I just didnt get it installed in time for the video, It hangs between the house and the white fence.

standard courts I got quoted around 30-50k, I did it for a little under 20 as I used my own machines to do the grunt work. That's grass and base install only. no nets no fencing etc

@@DamianCandetti thanks for the info! So maybe having my own tennis court someday is actually attainable-ish… Haha thanks for the video :)
