Court construction
NewCourtConstruction
Every new court is built on post-tensioned concrete: a structural crack-free foundation proven over 50 years.
Building it right from the start
One of the most critical decisions a facility owner, school district, or homeowner will make is selecting the proper construction method for a new court. Athletic surfaces are subjected to extreme environmental stresses, soil movement, and temperature fluctuations. Without the proper foundation, even a brand-new court can quickly develop costly structural cracks and uneven playing conditions.
The gold standard: post-tensioned concrete construction
At Trans Texas Tennis, we build every new court utilizing the Post-Tensioned Concrete Method, proven over the last 50 years as the industry’s most reliable solution for a structural crack-free foundation. Engineered to perform in virtually any soil condition or climate, post-tensioned slabs use high-strength steel cables embedded in the concrete. Once tensioned, these cables place the slab in permanent compression, holding the surface together tightly and delivering a trouble-free, high-performance court that outlasts traditional asphalt or standard concrete by decades.
Innovative features & advantages
- Superior crack control Built with high-tensile steel cables under active compression to resist ground movement and structural cracking.
- Active & positive reinforcement Provides structural strength throughout the entire slab, dramatically extending the lifespan of the facility.
- Seamless, uniform surface Engineered without unsightly expansion or control joints, providing a smooth, continuous field of play.
- Precision planarity & slope control Allows for precise grade control to eliminate water accumulation (“birdbaths”) and optimize water drainage.
- Integrated infrastructure Structural fence posts and net post sleeves are poured directly into the slab for maximum stability and clean aesthetics.
- Inter-court integrity Utilizes specialized metal keyways between adjacent courts for smooth transitions and long-term joint stability.
- Unrivaled base for surfacing Delivers a stable, non-porous foundation that maximizes the adhesion and longevity of premium acrylic color coatings.
