Each enclosure will have two (2) gates, 4' wide. Additional gates can be added for an additional fee and must be specified upon order. You may also change the size of these gates. These gates will have a standard padlockable latch. Our website includes many different styles of gate latches. If a different style is preferred, it must be specified at time of order and cost will be added to the price of the kit.
Can we install the gates in a different location than shown on the drawings?
Gates may be installed in a different location, however it may or may not affect your material list. Always layout your project and check post quantity prior to concreting anything.

Do you carry replacement parts should something need replaced?

Are the net posts included?
If you specify the diameter, length, and quantity upon ordering, they will be provided in a matching color. We allow two posts per playing court at no additional cost.
The tennis court fence is 10' high and my gate is only 7' high, what do I do?
This is normal. Gates are only 7' high intentionally. You will need to stretch approx. 3' x 4' of fence above the gate. We do not include 3' high fence or 4' high tension bars. You will need to cut these two pieces of fence out of the ten foot high fence provided. Tension bar pieces may also be cut from the 10' long ones. Cutting out pieces allows for a more accurate cut and leaves little room for spaces where tennis balls could escape.
Other than a padlock, how can I secure access to my tennis court from people I wish to keep out?
Other options are available, please consult with one of our sales representatives for advice prior to ordering.
Is there a special surface for playing tennis on or is asphalt typical?
Unfortunately we cannot offer any assistance in planning or preparation of the surface of play. Our expertise is limited to fence and fence related products. The same applies to rules of play and painting. Please consult an expert in the field of tennis or hard surfaces.
Do you know of any installers in my area or companies that carry your products?
We do not keep a nationwide network of installers, nor could we keep track of them. We suggest checking your local yellow pages and Better Business Bureau for general contractors prior to hiring anyone.
Do you have accessories to go with our new tennis court fencing kit?
Absolutely, we carry a full line of sporting goods to compliment the game of tennis. Feel free to browse our online catalog for tennis accessories.
