For a number of years the most cost effective way of cladding a tennis court has been with a 50mm aperture chain link but not anymore! JB Corrie stock 45mm chain link designed & manufactured specifically for the premier tennis courts.
For those with long memories, you will recall that the 45mm aperture chain link was the recommended choice in the old British Standard BS1722 Part 13 specification.
At that time, 45mm aperture chainlink was commonly used because it goes a long way to ensuring that the tennis balls stay within the court area. In some cases a well hit serve will see the ball travel straight through a 50mm aperture link.
So why use chain link for tennis courts? Chainlink is still the most cost effective and best tennis court perimeter cladding as it is able to deaden the power of the ball, dropping it to the floor, rather than rebounding it into the playing area.
