Types of Tennis Court Roof Structures

When covering tennis courts, several types of tennis court roof structures offer flexibility and protection:

With the right structure, you can create a space where athletes can train and play regardless of the weather. Your first decision will be offering a completely controlled environment or a covered outdoor experience. The decision will come down to what will provide your users with the best game experience and training environment.

  • Tensile Membrane Roofs: These lightweight, durable fabric structures provide excellent protection while allowing natural light to filter through. They are cost-effective, and our team can custom-design them to cover single or multiple courts.
  • Steel Roof Structures: Known for their strength, steel shade structures are perfect for facilities looking for a long-term solution. These roofs are typically robust and offer excellent weather resistance.
  • Indoor Tennis Facilities: Indoor tennis courts are the ultimate solution for facilities looking to offer year-round tennis. They offer a fully enclosed environment, shielding the court from all external weather conditions. 

Enhancing Your Tennis Facility with Integrated Features

Modern tennis court roof structures go beyond basic shade. Our design team can incorporate a wide range of optional extras to elevate the user experience.

Many incorporate LED lighting, allowing play during the evening or in low-light conditions. AV and PA systems, as well as scoreboards for facilities hosting competitions, are also popular. Integrating these features enhances the court experience for players and spectators alike. 

Our design team can also customise your court covers to meet your aesthetic goals. A variety of materials, finishes and colour options are available to complement the surrounding environment, creating a cohesive look across the facility.
