Designing an Outdoor Court in Your Backyard

For designing an outdoor court in your backyard, there are certain factors that need to be borne in mind in order to design a great court.

Outdoor Surfaces:

Sport Deck:
It serves as the perfect surface for all types of racquet sports players. Sport deck has a longer life than the traditional acrylic courts. It also serves as an appropriate substitute for most hard surfaces. Sport deck provides multiple benefits. It offers excellent ball control and pace of play. Additionally, it reduces joint stress and fatigue due to its patented Lateral Forgiveness. Due to these reasons, it has established itself in the market for nearly two decades.

Sport Base:
Sport Base serves as a concrete replacement for a Game court or outdoor court surface. It is known for its high performance. It is made from 100% recycled material. It is specifically used as a Game court system.

Sport Game:
Sport Game caters to multi sport play. This athletic surface technology is designed to produce excellent traction and low abrasion. It is safe and affordable. It helps reduce joint stress and fatigue through a Lateral Forgiveness without compromising on ball bounce and response.

Acrylic Paint:
In order to protect underlying asphalt systems from climatic changes, acrylic coating systems are used. They are multi-layered latex based paint systems that restore the surface structure. They also serve to enhance playability by improving the play speed besides providing a vibrant color scheme.
Optionally a cushioned system with layers of rubber particles may be used to absorb the shock and reduce the impact on the player's body. These systems are as consistent and durable as their non-cushioned counterparts.

The center of the court and the perimeter are contrasted with the help of bright white playing lines.
The array of coating systems provided by Sports Builders includes acrylic coating systems which include Annual color coating systems, standard coating systems, and cushion coating systems.

Acrylic Color:
It is an acrylic all weather emulsion for coating tennis, basketball, and multi sport recreational surfaces which have concrete or asphalt bases. These coatings are sand filled and completely non-slip. Playability factors are created by injecting super fine silica sand into the material. This also reduces streaking or highlighting of the surface.

Base/Course Rubber:
It is essentially an acrylic emulsion coating comprising rubber particles. This is used for providing cushioned thickness on the initial court surfaces. The court surface is made resilient by using coarse rubber particles in the initial coats.



Texture/Fine Rubber:
This a type of acrylic emulsion. Its purpose is to make the surface resilient and provide playability factors on a finished tennis court. It consists of fine rubber particles that fill the voids due to the base rubber. Fine rubber serves the purpose of creating comfort for the players and slowing the pace of play.

Line Painting:
The first coat is that of the primer. The primer is a clear 100 %  emulsion. Through the primer crisp clear lines are formed sealing the gaps between the masking tape and the court. After this two textured line paint coats are applied. The line paint is a special formulation comprising silica sand. The silica sand helps it match the texture of the surrounding court area.
