Why Us

Lighting and fencing planned around court layout and intended use

Courts that are too dark to use safely or lack clear boundaries create frustration and limit when the space can be used.

Common Challenges

  • Court too dark for safe evening play

    Existing lighting is failing, poorly placed, or absent, making the court unusable after dusk.

  • Balls leaving the play area constantly

    Missing or damaged fencing means balls roll into yards, streets, or landscaping during play.

  • Wind disrupting play conditions

    Open courts in Richmond face wind gusts that affect ball trajectory and player comfort.

How We Help

  • LED lighting with 50,000+ hour lifespan

    LED fixtures last 10-15 years vs 2-3 for halogen, cutting replacement frequency and energy use by 60-70%.

  • Fencing that defines the court boundary

    Chain-link or mesh fencing with posts set in concrete keeps balls in play and marks the court perimeter clearly.

  • Lighting positioned for even coverage

    Fixtures mounted at regulation height and spacing eliminate dark spots and glare across the playing surface.

  • Wind screens that reduce gusts

    Mesh wind screens attached to fencing cut wind speed by 30-40%, improving ball control and player comfort.

FAQ

Common Questions About Court Lighting & Fencing

Courts without lighting are unusable after dusk, limiting play to daylight hours only. Attempting to play in poor light increases injury risk from tripping, collisions, or misjudged ball trajectories. Installing LED lighting extends usable hours by 3-4 hours per evening during fall and winter months.
Courts without fencing lose balls into surrounding areas during play, causing interruptions and potential property damage. Balls rolling into streets create safety hazards. Fencing defines the boundary, keeps balls in play, and prevents disputes with neighbors over stray equipment.
Recreational tennis courts require 30-50 foot-candles of light, while basketball courts need 50-75 foot-candles for safe play. LED fixtures mounted at 20-25 feet provide even coverage without glare. Fixture count depends on court size and layout, typically 4-8 poles for a standard tennis court.
Temporary lights work for occasional use but lack the coverage, stability, and energy efficiency of permanent LED systems. Portable fixtures create uneven lighting, require setup before each session, and cost more to operate. Permanent installations provide consistent coverage and lower long-term energy costs.
Tennis courts typically use 10-12 foot fencing to contain lobs and high shots. Basketball courts need 8-10 foot fencing for boundary control. Chain-link mesh is standard for both, with posts set in concrete footings. Wind screens attach to fencing to reduce gusts and improve play conditions.
LED lighting systems require dedicated circuits and proper grounding. Most installations need a licensed electrician to run conduit from the main panel to fixture locations and install weatherproof junction boxes. Voltage drop calculations ensure fixtures receive consistent power across the court layout.
