A tennis court tent covers an open court so that play can continue in rain, snow and strong sun. Clubs, hotels, schools and private facilities use it to enclose a court for the winter or to build a new indoor court.
How much height does the court need?
One of the most important dimensions in a tennis tent is the clear height, because on high lobs the ball comes close to the ceiling. We make the clear height between 6 and 12 m. We take the height the club or user wants as an input to the project and design the frame to match. Widths run from 12 to 36 m and lengths from 24 to 60 m; a single court or several courts side by side can be covered.
Daylight or lighting?
The cover is UV- and water-resistant PVC membrane. If you want natural light by day, there is a translucent cover option. For evening play, lighting is added to the project, with its layout considered together with the frame.
The interior in summer and winter
In summer, hot air collects under the roof. Natural or mechanical ventilation is planned for this. For winter use, an insulated cover is added. Which one is needed depends on the months in which the court will be used.
The size of a court tent is set not only by the lines of the court but also by the player's run-off space and the height of the ball.
Installation over an existing court
First the ground and the court dimensions are inspected on site. A structural calculation is carried out for the snow and wind load of the region where it will stand. Galvanised steel or aluminium profile is chosen from that calculation. Then the frame is erected and the cover is tensioned and fixed. Because the frame is modular, it can be taken down and erected again if needed.
Options for covering football and basketball pitches are on the sports tent systems page. On request we use PVC fabric in class DIN 4102 B2 (normally flammable); the certificate is available on request. The price is given in a quote, depending on the number of courts, the size, the cover and the insulation. Write to us with the size and location of the court, and we will design the project and prepare a quote.
