For All Your Tennis Court Needs
Court dimensions
Standard domestic tennis court 33.53m (110ft) x 16.48m (54ft)
LTA recommended size 34.75m (114ft) x 17.07m (56ft)
LTA full size 36.58m Championship (120ft) x 18.20m (60ft)
Ground Levels/Conditions
Methods of construction will depend on site conditions and the nature of the underlying soil, sandy soils will in general require less foundation stone than a clay soil. This will in turn have an effect on cost.
Tennis courts built on a reasonably level site will be easier and more cost effective to construct than courts built on sloping sites.
Planning Permission
Most new tennis courts in the rear of a private garden will not require planning permission, however there are a number of exceptions so please refer to our planning page.
Orientation
An outdoor court should preferably be positioned with its length running as near as possible north-south. This avoids looking directly into the sun during the early morning and evening periods. However site constrictions will often mean this cannot be achieved.
Construction Time
Most courts can be built and ready for play in a 3-4 week period, however in the case of colour coated courts a period of at least 4 weeks should be allowed after surfacing before the colour coating is applied. During this time the court will be fully functional, as we will have applied temporary lines.

Testimonials

The team at Coloured Courts are amazing! I had a few companies come out to talk about my project and they are the only ones that seemed to genuinely care.
Joe Heath
I've been using Fred and his team for over a decade now to maintain, clean and resurface my court to keep it in pristine, playable condition all year round.
Richard Barrett
When I moved into my current house, the tennis court installed was very run down. Coloured Courts were able to resurface the court for me. Highly recommended.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I Need Planning Permission?
The need for planning permission depends on your local authority, but may only apply to the fencing surrounding for courts in a private garden.
What About Maintenance?
We provide a maintenance service that ensures your court stays at the highest possible standard for the longest period of time possible.
This Programme works best as a preventative treatment for moss and algae but if your court is already in a poor state from these things additional attention may be required.
How Long Will My Paint Last?
Your paint forms the wearing course, taking the abuse of play and the environment in place of the macadem. You can expect your court to be repainted every 5 years.
How Long Will My Court Surface Last?
This will be most affected by environmental factors (such as surrounding trees) and standard of maintenance, which results in quite a big range in surface lifetime.
For Macadam Courts, whilst the LTA suggests a surface lifetime of 8-10 years, we often find courts outlast this, and usually reach 12-15 years before needing substantial work.
Whilst Carpets can go on for many years more.nim ab voluptate id quam harum ducimus cupiditate similique quisquam et deserunt, recusandae.
