Fencing Restored to a Safe, Durable Finish

The fencing structure was restored to ensure safety, durability, and a clean finish. Posts and framework were realigned and reinforced where required. Steelwork was treated and refinished, while the mesh was re-tensioned to remove sagging and restore a neat, uniform enclosure.

Paved Walkway Upgrade: The paved area alongside the court was improved to create a clean, functional boundary — ensuring safe movement around the court while enhancing the overall presentation of the facility.

A Consistent Playing Surface with Improved Traction

Hardcourt surfaces deteriorate over time due to weather and regular use. The St. Peters court showed typical signs of wear, including fading and surface fatigue.

NineCourts carried out a full resurfacing process to restore performance and appearance:

  1. Surface preparation and cleaning
  2. Repair and levelling of worn areas
  3. Application of bonding and reinforcement layers
  4. Acrylic colour coating for grip and durability
  5. Precision basketball line markings

This process delivers a consistent playing surface with improved traction and long-term durability.

Equipment

Basketball Post Installation

As part of the upgrade, NineCourts supplied and installed two custom-built, professional-grade basketball posts.

Each unit is manufactured from high-grade steel and permanently installed into reinforced concrete foundations to ensure stability and safety. The system includes a tempered glass backboard for true ball response, along with a heavy-duty spring-loaded hoop and chain net suited to outdoor conditions.

The posts are fully treated and coated to withstand the elements — providing a robust, long-term solution for a high-use school environment.

The Result

A Refined, Well-Balanced Facility
