The construction of your tennis court sub-base and base is a civil engineering project. Therefore there are several long established engineering principles that should be followed, particularly pertaining to soil compaction, drainage and consequential stability. Do not deviate from proven methods of construction. The idea that you get what you pay for is entirely relevant here. The fence posts should be soundly embedded in concrete footings designed to meet the requirements of the existing soil conditions. Similarly if light poles are required, a suitable foundation design will be necessary to allow for wind loading, overall torque and weight of the fitting. |
This is our new Caterpillar 307C excavator. These pictures were taken on the day we took delivery. The CAT was driven off the back of a low-loader and the keys handed to our man Charlie, who is a real black belt when it comes to excavation.
The excavator delivers two great benefits - it works quickly but also, it's very light which makes it ideal for court construction. Heavier machines compact the ground, which can cause problems when the court is laid and the ground subsides.
