What is artificial grass tennis court?
Artificial grass tennis court is an imitation of natural grass court. Its structure is a bit like carpet, except that the bottom layer is nylon woven fabric, and bundles of nylon short fibers are planted on it. In order to keep the fibers upright, fine sand is used as filler between the fibers. This kind of court requires a flat and solid base with a good drainage structure. In addition, because its white boundary is directly spliced with the surrounding court, it eliminates many maintenance troubles such as marking, making it an all-weather court. The maintainer only needs to comb and tidy it up frequently and add fine sand in time.
