Start Project BriefSports & Courts · Sand Sports
The strongest sand-sports projects start with the sports mix and civil platform, then select posts, sockets, nets and venue infrastructure around that brief. One well-planned sand court can support several activities, but only if the changeover and site systems are considered before construction.
Record whether the court is dedicated to Beach Tennis, Beach Volleyball, Footvolley or intended to switch between several sports.
That decision affects post sockets, net adjustment, boundary systems, equipment storage and the way the venue handles changeovers.
Playing sand, grading, depth, drainage, sub-base and edging are site-specific. They should not be treated as generic imported kit components.
Local rainfall, groundwater, surrounding levels and maintenance access all influence the correct build-up.
Permanent commercial courts should resolve sleeves, anchors, post profile, tensioning hardware and corrosion protection together.
Where several sports will share a court, use a compatible adjustable platform rather than adding separate independent post foundations after the fact.
Lighting poles, glare, spill light, ball-stop netting and gates need to work with run-off, circulation, spectators and neighbouring uses.
Resort and public sites should also consider how sand migration, cleaning and pedestrian traffic affect the surrounding landscape.
Benches, shade, bag storage, hospitality edges and spectator areas can make a sand court much more usable without changing the playing rectangle.
Multi-court venues should plan arrival, waiting, changeover, maintenance and future expansion before the first court is built.
