APOLLO COURT SYSTEMS · TENNIS
Complete tennis court systems for clubs, schools, resorts and multi-court facilities.
Apollo brings the tennis playing surface together with nets and posts, fencing, windscreens, lighting, officials equipment, player infrastructure, covered-court options and wider venue systems. Start with the court use and supporting base, then build the package around how the facility will actually operate.

Product details
Start with the playing surface, then coordinate the complete court.
Tennis court projects should be planned around the supporting base, drainage, desired court feel, level of play, exposure, operating hours and maintenance model. The exact surface and supporting systems are then confirmed for the project.
01Court playing rectangle
23.77 m longReference full tennis-court playing length. Overall facility footprint is larger and depends on run-off, fencing, access, officials, spectators and the applicable competition standard.

08Base
Prepared asphalt · concrete pathway subject to exact build-upBase flatness, drainage, cracking, joints and moisture conditions must be resolved before the playing surface is specified.
09Net + post pathway
Permanent · socketed · removable · mobileCourt equipment is selected around the operating model, event requirements and whether the facility needs seasonal or multi-use conversion.

Fencing · gates · divider nets · windscreensHeight, mesh, gate positions and windscreen porosity are coordinated around containment, visibility, wind exposure and circulation.
11Lighting

Apollo is supply-only. The client and destination project team provide the site information and remain responsible for local surveying, base works, drainage, foundations, electrical work, installation, commissioning and statutory approvals. Exact competition compliance is confirmed against the selected product and current project documentation.
Complete tennis facility
Build beyond the playing surface.
Apollo can coordinate the systems around the court so the project brief covers play, perimeter, lighting, operations, shelter and venue infrastructure rather than leaving each package disconnected.

Hard acrylic, elastic cushion or rubber-sheet cushion?
These pathways solve different briefs. The comparison is about construction and project fit, not an overall quality ranking.

ATHREN COURT · tennis surface systems
Permanent tennis surfaces from hard acrylic to premium cushion.
Approved ATHREN visuals explain the surface construction and colour pathways. Final colours and technical build-ups remain controlled by the selected system and approved project samples.
Applications + project fit
Plan tennis as a facility, not just a painted rectangle.
Base + drainage first
Cracking, ponding, settlement, movement joints and moisture should be resolved before the surface build-up is selected.
Single court or court bank
Gate positions, internal separation, lighting poles, benches, scoring and circulation change as the project grows from one court to a multi-court facility.
Club operations
Storage, ball management, officials equipment, maintenance tools and player waiting areas affect daily court turnover and staff workload.
Resort + hospitality
Surface colour, fencing, landscape interfaces, shade, lighting and player furniture can be coordinated around the guest environment.
Competition pathway
Where organised competition matters, Apollo confirms the exact surface, equipment and supporting evidence required for the quoted system rather than applying broad category claims.
Covered play
Air domes and clear-span sports structures can be considered where weather protection or extended operating hours justify a covered-court solution.
