CONSTRUCTION:  COURT SLAB

The two most popular choices of  materials used in the construction of tennis courts are concrete and asphalt.  Although clay and grass courts have some benefits regarding playability, they require considerable maintenance and are quite expensive.  

Regarding the popular choices, the main distinction between concrete and asphalt is that concrete has greater structural integrity than does asphalt.  Although concrete initially costs more than asphalt, the cost of future asphalt repairs can more than offset the initial higher cost of concrete.

The composition of the underlying soils is an important consideration in the choice of the slab.  Many times, concrete will be specified because concrete is fortified with steel or post tensioning.
