Technical overview

Key court dimensions

Use these figures for concept planning, then confirm run-off, fencing, lighting, drainage, accessibility and the selected surface system for the actual project.

Court-size information is for project planning. Final clearances, run-off, fencing, lighting, drainage, accessibility and local requirements should be confirmed for the actual site before installation.

Court planning drawings

Use both the playing dimensions and the surrounding project envelope.

The dimensioned plan and illustrated guide can be used during early feasibility checks before the final court, surface, run-off and infrastructure package is confirmed.

Project fit

Plan the whole court, not only the white lines.

Run-off + circulation

The 13.41 × 6.10 m playing rectangle is only the marked court. Allow space for safe movement beyond the baselines and sidelines.

Surface + base

Concrete condition, drainage and required playing feel determine whether modular tile, roll-out flooring or another surface pathway is suitable.

Net + centreline planning

Fixing points, portable-net storage and centreline alignment should be coordinated before final court marking.

Fencing + lighting

Fence setbacks, access gates and light-pole positions should sit outside the playing envelope without creating obstructions.
