2. Inspect the base
Use the subfloor-preparation guidance to identify cracks, levels, contamination, moisture and drainage before flooring selection.
3. Select permanent, modular or roll-out pathway
Compare permanence, drainage, repair, storage, seams and playing feel against the venue's operating model.
4. Coordinate venue systems
Plan nets, dividers, fencing, lighting, cameras, player circulation and future court capacity together.
