Sandhurst Private Client
Astro Turf Court Conversion

The brief included a full upgrade of the fencing structure, replacement of ageing court components, and the installation of a durable, all-weather playing surface.

Starting Point

Before & Groundwork Phase

The original court showed clear signs of age and fatigue, including surface deterioration, staining, and underlying structural wear. As with all NineCourts projects, the focus began with proper groundwork and preparation — the foundation of any long-lasting installation.

Before

From a Tired and Cracked Slab to a Stable Base

Key works completed:

  1. Removal of loose and damaged surface areas
  2. Cleaning and preparation of the existing slab
  3. Core drilling for new fencing uprights
  4. Installation of reinforced concrete footings
  5. Alignment and setting out of the new fencing structure

This phase ensures that everything installed thereafter is supported by a stable and properly prepared base.

Scope of works:

  1. Installation of new chain link fencing, fully tensioned and secured
  2. Removal of old centre line poles
  3. Installation of new centre line posts
  4. Supply and installation of a new tennis net system

Each element was installed with careful attention to alignment, tension, and long-term durability, ensuring the facility performs as intended.

  2. Bi-colour grass finish for a natural appearance
  3. Designed for high foot traffic and multi-sport use
  4. Consistent, clean playing surface with clear line markings

The result is a low-maintenance, all-weather court that offers both durability and visual appeal — suited to private use while maintaining a professional standard of finish.
