Court performance evidence

Performance belongs to the tested system.

The updated 12 October 2026 quotation identifies FCM80V1 yarn, and Taishan confirms this is the exact product represented by the ITF Category 5 test report. The classification describes the tested system, not an ITF endorsement of future courts.

REFERENCE LAB REPORT01/02-24-L-GLA-1400-AREPORTED COURT PACE RATING46CERTIFICATE EXPIRY1 October 2027

ITF court-pace classification is not ITF endorsement or approval. Project suitability depends on the exact supplied construction and supporting base.

Design and delivery

Specify the whole court, not just the turf.

Base and drainage

Reported court pace relates to laboratory samples on a rigid asphalt or concrete base. Site levels, water management and construction details require project-specific design.

Infill and joining

The quoted sand infill is 12 kg/m². Taishan can manufacture some court lines into the turf; the final line layout and remaining joining tape and adhesive must be confirmed against the court kit. Installation guidance supplied is generic football-field guidance, not a tennis-specific installation specification.

Supply-only project pathway

Apollo supplies turf and agreed accessories only; installation and site works are by the customer's appointed contractors. Taishan quotes a minimum order of 1,000 m², roll widths of 2, 3.75, 3.8, 3.83, 4, 4.75 or 5 m and project-defined roll lengths. The manufacturer provides an eight-year warranty letter subject to coverage, exclusions and project terms.
