Ive read a few tennis court threads but have no found a definite answer so i would like to hear from a few of you that have experienced this! I do not have an exact square footage as it is about an hour away so i had the customer forward some pictures over. This will be our first tennis court. Plan is to pre treat with a 50/50 roof mix and follow up with a low psi surface cleaning or soft rinse depending on how well the mix treats this court. Is there another process or different material i should be using on this?
Wow that is quite the undertaking.
yes this appears to be a ton of surface cleaning and a ton of pre treat material. I wish i had exact sq ft so i could price it better but unfortunately i do not
@theotherguy Now that looks like fun and I’m not being sarcastic…thats the kind of project that I love…never done a tennis court before but I’ll bet it’ll look amazing when you’re done!..I’d say roof mix soft rinse and some squeegees to push all the extra water off but I have no tennis court washing experience just guessing…they actually make a rolling squeegee specifically for large areas like that…I think their called a Roldri.
If you do it I want to see some after pictures
If you can find it on Google maps you should be able to measure it. Unless it has a bad pic with trees in the way.

Standard double courts are around 12k to 14k sq’.

Is that surface pitted, or is it just lichen? Some tennis courts just need to be completely resurfaced if they’re too far gone.
Spray on 4% mix of SH with power solve (from Hydro-Chem)
Leave it like a roof…next day spray again…leave it.
I just did two tennis courts a few weeks ago for like this, one was just as bad as your pic and it came out great

First , let me say I don’t have a ton of experience. I did one (four courts in a row). I pretreated with 1% SH per the paint manufacturer recommendation. I then used a surface cleaner at about 1200 psi. Units turned out pretty good, manager was happy. Biggest lesson was, it took longer than I expected due to the dirty water. Courts being level, water and mud just sat there. I had to either sweep the water to the side or rinse it to the side. I was working solo. A helper with a broom would have made life easier. Hope this helps. Let us know how it turns out.
