Whether you’re creating your own tennis court or maintaining an existing one having the correct equipment is paramount. Ultimately if you’re goal is to create a reconstruction of a professional tennis court. You’ll need to invest in high-quality gear and not skimp on any expenses or equipment so that the court looks professional and so it can help you and others elevate your gameplay. If you’re a novice to the tennis world and are unsure of where to start, you will need the following:

  1. A professional tennis net
  2. Tennis net posts
  3. Umpires chair
  4. Tennis court windbreaks
  5. Wooden scoreboard
  6. Water removers & court cleaners
  7. Tennis court surround netting

From the more evident pieces of equipment to the more advanced gear, we’ve created this article outlining seven tennis court equipment essentials that you should consider for your own court to make it look the part and take your sport to the next level.

 

A Professional Tennis Net

Arguably one of the most important purchases you will make for your court is a professional tennis net. Not only can a net be aesthetically pleasing, but the net you choose will also have to be practical as it can significantly impact your gameplay. Here at Edwards Sports, we offer a range of tennis products from nets and posts to parts or fixings and various other tennis court supplies. 

So, we understand the importance of sourcing the best equipment possible for your court; with these values in mind, you could consider purchasing one of our championship tennis nets for a court that feels akin to a professional setup like Wimbledon. Contact us for more information about any of our nets or products, a member of our team will be happy to help you with any queries. 

 

 

Tennis Net Posts

Another essential purchase for your court will be a pair of tennis net posts. You’ll have to consider whether you’ll want your net posts to be permanent or portable and if you’re more likely to play singles or doubles matches. As if you’re more likely to play singles, you may want to consider investing in a set of single sticks as well so that your net meets the height requirement for singles matches. Here at Edwards Sport, we stock a range of high-quality tennis net posts in varying materials and the replacements for such – take a look at our full range for more information. 

 

 

Umpires Chair

If you’re looking to recreate the feeling of a professional court, one piece of equipment that you’ll need is an umpire’s chair. Our umpire chairs have previously been supplied to the Olympic Games and are perfect for creating that professional tennis court atmosphere on your own court.  

 

 

Tennis Court Windbreaks

Much like the name suggests, tennis court windbreaks help to shield your court and players from the wind. Playing without windbreaks can severely affect your gameplay and other aspects of the game, such as the service toss and predicting the direction the ball will go in. 

It also helps players stay in the zone by not getting distracted by movement outside of the court and will help your court look more professional. Here at Edwards Sports, we provide traditional and bespoke windbreaks in varying colours and can even print logos, text etc., on them for an upscale feel – contact us today for more information about this service. 

 

 

Wooden Scoreboard

Investing in a wooden scoreboard, to keep track of tennis scores, may sound like one of the most evident suggestions on our list, but it can be easily forgotten when sourcing other pieces of equipment for your court. Many people may overlook the purchase of a scoreboard as they may feel as though the investment would be unnecessary since they could keep count themselves or use other means. However, scores can easily be forgotten and lead to disagreements throughout the game. Consider purchasing one of our wooden scoreboards to eliminate the risk of this and give you more time on the court. 

 

 

Water Removers & Court Cleaners

Cleaning your tennis court is essential for maintaining aesthetics and avoiding the build-up of safety hazards. Therefore, ensure that you invest in good quality water removers and court cleaners so that you can keep your court looking excellent and safe for players. 

Allowing a build-up of dirt, debris or water on your court can not only impact gameplay but also cause unsightly problems like mould growth and cause players to slip, trip, fall or, worst-case scenario, cause a severe injury. 

 

 

Tennis Court Surround Netting

Surround netting is an equally important piece of equipment on a tennis court. Tennis court surround netting can promote safety, prevent unwanted visitors from stepping onto the court and designate the playing area when multiple games are being played. If you’d like to learn more about the benefits of the tennis court surrounding netting, don’t hesitate to contact us with any queries that you might have – we’d be happy to assist! 

 

Summary

To summarise, whether you’re a novice to the tennis world or a seasoned player, know that if you create your own court, it’ll be worth it in the end, and it’ll be a fantastic asset for improving your gameplay. 

However, you will need all the formerly listed equipment for your court to be a successful replica of a professional setup. If you’d like any assistance along the way, consider following our blog for more tennis-related posts or contacting us for more details about our services/products.
