When it comes to the subject of tennis court maintenance, Leicestershire tennis fans know that taking care of your court is a vital part of getting the most out of the game.
The same goes for most things in life – when something is not properly looked after, you won’t get the best out of it – and this fact remains the same for tennis courts of all surface types.
While surfaces, such as grass, might require more regular maintenance (often on a daily basis), every tennis court needs to be properly cared for to some extent.
Don’t let poor maintenance ruin your game
A poorly maintained tennis court can ruin a game for a whole host of reasons – and when you’ve made the large investment of having a tennis court installed, then this is the last thing you want to happen.
Get the planning right in the early stages of having your tennis court installed to maximise your court’s potential and once it’s in place, it’s important to stay on top of the upkeep.
Here we explore how and why poor tennis court maintenance in Leicestershire can spoil things for the people using the court….
- Safety
This is the number one reason why you should carry out regular maintenance of your Leicestershire tennis court. Ensuring the court is always clear of any debris will help the surface to stay even and safe to play on. Tennis courts can also become damaged over time and if not properly repaired, the damage can create a hazard for those who play on it.
- Enjoyment of the game
Even if you manage to avoid a sprained ankle from playing on a poorly maintained tennis surface, you won’t get as good a game as you might from playing on a well maintained court and it will be much less pleasurable to play on.
- Longer life
If a tennis court is no longer safe to play on, then the game is over before it’s begun. Proper maintenance of your tennis court will ensure you not only get the most enjoyment out of your tennis court but that it will serve you well for a long time to come. Believe it or not, you can add years of life to your tennis court, just by taking proper care of it.
- Prevent problems from becoming worse
Small issues with your tennis court can often turn into large (and much more expensive) ones, if ignored and left to get worse. It’s the same as not carrying out regular maintenance of your court – problems only get worse over time.
Let your court grow old gracefully
Trying to cut corners, when it comes to your tennis court maintenance in Leicestershire, may mean you’ll save money in the short term, but it makes it more prone to decay over time.
