A complete court upgrade for St. Peters Preparatory in Paulshof, Sandton — restoring a heavily used school facility into a professional, durable, and visually refined basketball court.
NineCourts was contracted to upgrade the primary basketball court at St. Peters Preparatory in Paulshof, Sandton. The project focused on restoring a heavily used school court into a professional, durable, and visually refined facility.
This was a complete upgrade, ensuring that every element of the facility matched the standard of the finished court.
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.
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:
This process delivers a consistent playing surface with improved traction and long-term durability.
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 completed court at St. Peters now delivers a clean, professional playing surface, reliable grip, durable infrastructure, and a refined finish suited to daily school use.
This project stands as a clear example of how proper refurbishment and attention to detail can restore a court to a high standard — extending its lifespan and elevating its overall appearance.
