Reasons to Have a Fence Around a Tennis Court - Classic Turf

If you’re going to have a tennis court, you should consider having a fence around it. The primary function of the fence is to keep tennis balls contained within the court area. Otherwise, you’d spend more time jogging to retrieve balls that went far away than you’d spend playing tennis! Furthermore, if the tennis court is located near a cliff, a pond/creek/river, or a well-trafficked street, the fence does its job of containing both the tennis game and tennis balls. A fence makes a great “catcher” of balls.

Other reasons tennis courts have fences include safety, security, and aesthetics. For instance, the fence helps define the overall space. It sets up much-needed boundaries. When people are within the fenced-in area, they’re there to play tennis. Those who want to watch can be outside of the fence. Therefore, tennis games don’t interfere with passersby and/or whatever is going on outside the fenced area. Fence gates can be locked in order to only allow those with keys onto the courts. This way, the courts are used for their intended purpose rather than as a place for skateboarders  to fool around, for example.

When a tennis court is fenced in, some people choose to add evergreen vines to their fences in an effort to obscure the view of outsiders. This works well when privacy is of utmost importance. Many tennis courts on residential property have fences to enhance the look of their property while also serving as a nice place to escape to, away from the house, the road, and society in general.

Classic Turf Company makes custom metal fence systems. Rather than using standard round pipes and fittings, Classic Turf chooses to go with 2-inch square tubing for posts and rails. Welded at the joints, these fences have a seamless look and are quite durable. They come with a 20-year structural warranty.

If and when you’re thinking of adding a fence to your tennis court, Classic Turf can talk with you about options. Perhaps you want a metal fence or a wooden one. How high do you want your fence to be? Where do you want gates placed? Do you prefer a black, green or brown metal finish?

About Sports & Athletic Fence

Whether it’s keeping a foul ball from getting too far away from the field or shagging stray tennis balls, athletic fence is a must around sports fields. Pacific Fencing and Wire has decades of experience outfitting fields, hardtops, and other sporting areas with fencing for a variety of uses.

Athletic fencing can be made from a variety of materials, including chain link, vinyl-coated wire, and more. The type of fence you choose will depend on the sport being played, the level of play, and your budget. For example, tennis courts will require a different type of fence than a baseball field. We’ll help you select the right sports fencing for your needs.

We’ll work with you to ensure that your sports fencing installation is up to code and meets the specific needs of your athletic program.

We also offer netting systems, windscreens, backstops, and other sports field accessories.

Baseball/Softball Fencing

Nothing beats taking in a baseball or softball game under the summer sun, and the Portland area produces some of the best teams in the region. But a foul ball or errant toss can ruin the experience for an unlucky fan. That’s why backstop fencing and along the edge of the field are so important.

Pacific Fence and Wiring will install fencing for backstops and along the edge of the field to your specifications. If you need a home run fence, dugout fencing, or additional netting behind home plate or up the baselines, we can help there too.

Tennis Court Fencing

Tennis is a great sport to keep in shape and enjoy the outdoors–unless you have to spend all of your time chasing unforced errors and zippy winners all over the place. We install fences to keep balls from getting too far away from the court as well as provide security for the courts when not in use.

If the fencing is tall enough, we will also install sheets to help keep the wind at bay or to keep well-struck balls from sticking in the chain link fencing. These mesh sheets also provide a bit of privacy while playing.

Athletic Fence For Other Fields

Many tracks, football fields, and other high school campuses have fencing around their fields to protect them from anything other than players and spectators. We install fencing to protect unauthorized vehicles from getting into the field or other shenanigans.

All of our sports field fencing options include gate entrances as well as a variety of chain link gauges and coatings in a range of colors. Let us know what you’re thinking and we can design-build the perfect sports field fences for you.
