Similar to this kind of thing. Multi purpose surface.



Was wondering what the costs would be.

My next door neighbours-to-be at the block have just built one almost identical to that with the lights and everything.

If I get the opportunity I'll ask them the cost although I don't want to seem nosy.

Hi Ste,

No expert but I would say in the ball park of bloody expensive.

I was thinking of building a tennis court, nothing as fancy just a bit of turf, but I don't really like tennis.

Default Re: Anyone built a tennis court?

I got a reply, regarding the tennis court !! That court in the pic above... gulp ( ping pong table here we come )

*extract of email.

Hi Steve,



Our normal court size is 33m x 16m and our normal court base is an engineered designed road base base with synthetic grass surface.



The court depicted in the photo is a concrete and acrylic surface.



Road base court with 3m fence 4 x 1000 watt pole lighting system net posts and net (excluding rebound wall and earthworks) is approx $55,000 inc GST



Concrete court with 3m fence 4 x 1000 watt pole lighting system net posts and net (excluding rebound wall and earthworks) is approx $63,000 inc GST



We do have a lower cost 6 x 400watt pole system which is neighbour friendly and approved by the council would save you around $2000 .



Side swing basketball system supplied and installed is approx $5,300 inc



For our company to provide an accurate quotation on the earthworks component, I would need to inspect the site.



I can drop in and see the proposed site at your convenience



Thanks for your enquiry





Ray

Kids will be pleased !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So are you getting him round to do a site inspection then?? If you did have it built what do you think (knowing what my daughter is like) the chances are that the kids would use it a few times & once the novelty wore off - never use it again!!

Staggering isnt it.

FARK !!! I felt like replying saying, Oi my name aint Boris Bleedin Becker !
