I like this idea a lot.

[@harrycallahan9143]

I thought it was gonna have a nice Wimbledon like finish and then it was ruined : /

[@SpiritDonkey]

They have to put sand on it.

[@jayp123]

It's for drainage and to keep the carpet in place. There's almost no point of going for this surface as the sand will affect playability

[@tutorials4u99]

Why is sand needed? The end result looks terrible. The green color is great but gets ruined in the process.

[@miloandwarren]

Hi Daniel, with out the sand, the court would play very slow and lots of bad bounces resulting in a very unenjoyable game of tennis. The sand gives the court a hard surface to give the ball a good and normal bounce, an artificial grass court plays very much like a real grass court with out the odd bad bounce.

@@miloandwarren than why not put green sand to look like a tennis court and not like chihuahuan desert

[@serdaremir2870]

@@miro1860 i was looking for this question :) they could prefer shorter than avaiable grass i mean

[@hectorbarraza6348]

After how long does the court turn green again?

[@everythingcool101]

what glue do you guys use!?! please would love to know because im trying to repair my court!

[@miloandwarren]

A lot of court owners use roof and gutter silicone to repair their court, it's waterproof and holes really well, hopes this helps.

[@-Munditimum-]

Much respect for the guys who do the labor for these courts. I just wish that sand was green in color, so that it would keep the court green, but all in all great job!
Thank you for the video, truly enjoyed it! Cheers!

[@kkaarthickit]

Can you please tell where you brought these synthetic grass material and how much it costed.

[@miloandwarren]

The synthetic grass surface is made in New Zealand and the only information I have is that it is "T1000 Olive synthetic surface with 75mm baselines". I don't know what the surface it self cost, but for the completed installation including the synthetic grass was $46,500.00 Australian dollars (November 2020). Custom Court Constructions purchase the synthetic grass from New Zealand and did the installation, for more information their email is [e-mail]

[@mickeysealtoe9719]

so....What about drainage?

[@ahbduljhabar7071]

what is that?

[@calvin9187]

Is no one going to talk about the club's name? Blackbutt...what a name lol

[@miloandwarren]

Blackbutt is a small country town in Queensland Australia, The Tennis Club is "Blackbutt Tennis Club" a non-profit organization.

[@fet0566]

why don't just build real grass tennis court, it would be easier and cheaper.

[@muchacho87]

Lol

[@GlenRwodzi97]

Expensive maintenance

[@mickeysealtoe9719]

Pretty whack just play clay.

[@shafqatishan437]

Clay is slowest court, this is the fastest court
