The effects of winter on your tennis court
Cold temperatures, icy winds and rainy conditions all have the potential to have a detrimental impact on your tennis court. Melbourne’s wintry weather takes its toll on us, so you can imagine what it does to tennis courts, especially those facing the elements. What kind of impact can the weather have?
- A few leaves here and there is no drama, but imagine a constant build-up of fallen leaves, dirt and other debris. Over time, this can potentially damage the surface of your court.
- Damp conditions can encourage the growth of unwanted moss or mould on your court, leading to changes in the surface.
- Over time, your court will sustain wear and tear, but dramatic temperature changes can also affect the court’s surface, leading to changes that may affect play.
Addressing any issues now, will mean your court is ready and up to playing standard as soon as the weather warms up!
High pressure cleaning
High pressure cleaning is one of the most effective ways to rejuvenate your tennis court after winter. It takes care of the dirt and debris build-up that a broom may not be able to handle. Pressure cleaning also removes any slippery and unwanted growths, restoring the court’s grip and safety.
This type of cleaning ensures the surface is free of unwanted contaminants, preparing the area for any other necessary treatment or repairs. High pressure cleaning is also an environmentally friendly option as it uses minimal, if any, chemicals, relying mainly on water pressure to achieve your desired result!
Heading down the resurfacing path
While cleaning addresses immediate concerns, resurfacing ensures your court remains in top condition for years to come. Resurfacing involves repairing and restoring the court’s playing surface, addressing cracks and other wear and tear issues. If you want your court to go the long haul, this may be the option you need. At Ultracourts, we’ll assess your court and decide the best course to take.
Preparing your tennis court for summer involves more than just dusting off your racket.
