The site is prepared to proper elevation, slope, tolerance, and compaction for the tennis court slabs Stone screenings are laser-graded over the prepared sub-grade to set the final slope to an exact tolerance For overlays, the stone screenings are placed directly on top of the existing court surface and laser-graded to set the proper elevation Forms are set in place and the thickened edge is excavated A vapor retarder is placed over the entire court area The cable tendons are placed over the court area per engineer’s specified spacing The cables are in place in both directions and anchored at one end to the form boards Net post sleeves and center-strap anchors are placed in concrete starter courses, the cables are set on plastic chairs, and metal keyways are installed at the net line and the alleys between courts The concrete is pumped into place and spread between laser-set points using a vibratory screed After floating, the concrete is finished using a double-trowel followed by a broom When the concrete has reached a specified compressive strength, the cables are stressed, the cable ends cut, and the holes grouted Fencing is installed prior to the start of surfacing. Fence posts may be pre-set prior to pouring the slab, or may be “stabbed” into place during the slab pour. After curing for a minimum of 28 days, the concrete is cleaned, acid-etched, primed, and patched A sand-filled acrylic filler coat is applied over the entire area to provide a uniform underlayment for the color texture coats The acrylic color texture coats are applied The courts are lined, nets and posts installed, windscreen installed, and are ready for play
