  • Cory Mecham has been dreaming of serving on sod for almost 20 years. With the closest court being in Baker City, Oregon, he decided to get a hold of his mower and do something about it.

      dont forget grass courts have to grow the grass out of sand not soil or you wont have the proper bounce

    Wait! Did they say just 4K to build? Omg 😍😍😍 18months is much longer than I thought--but you can’t beat that price point

    he needs to redo it with a more sandy soil mixture to get the professional court bounce that wimbledon has

    Totally awesome! It's much better for your body than asphalt and concrete.
    We at least need artificial grass or carpet.

    Kids probably wanted a pool. Upon looking at the cost, he immediately turned off the computer and decided what this backyard needs is a tennis court 🤔

      Pools too expensive to maintain. Insurance goes up because of neighbors and animals drowning.
      Tennis court much better. Future careers pay better in tennis

      The Standard Tennis Court dimensions are 78 ft. x 36 ft. (23.77m x 10.97m)
      it looks like he has about an extra 2 ft. on the sides, so i'd say its 82 ft. x 40ft. (24.99m x 12.91m)

    I remember my sister, who lived in Duesseldorf at the start of the new millennium, telling me about shares, she had bought for a hotel complex, so she could always go on holidays there for free. She had spent several thousand DM. For that money, she could have build a tennis court somewhere in the world, so she could always go there and play tennis for free or watch 'what's-up-videos'. I had no idea, that there is a special type of grass seed for tennis courts, until I saw it in a show today. The tennis courts near the high rise building, where I was born and ate my first slices of bread, had rubber coating and invisible electric fences, to keep people away from the courts, unless they were a special type of human for a special type of race. I understand, why women wear short skirts playing this sport. They can afford it, because Tennis is a Defense Science and Technology Sport.
