1. Thoroughly Clean the Surface

Before winterizing your tennis court, start with a deep clean. Remove all debris, including leaves, dirt, and sticks, as these can trap moisture and lead to mold or algae growth. Use a gentle, court-safe cleaning solution and a pressure washer (if appropriate for your court’s surface). For hard-to-reach areas or stubborn stains, Tennis Court Supply offers a range of cleaning tools to make the job easier.

2. Inspect for Damage

Cracks and chips can worsen during winter due to freezing and thawing cycles. Carefully inspect your court for any imperfections and address them promptly with quality repair materials. Our crack fillers and resurfacing products are designed to work with all types of tennis court surfaces, from hard courts to clay.

3. Ensure Proper Drainage

Standing water is the enemy of tennis court longevity. Check your court's drainage system to ensure water flows away from the surface. If necessary, clear out drains and channels to prevent blockages. Poor drainage can lead to surface erosion or freezing damage during winter storms.

4. Apply a Protective Cover

For courts in regions prone to heavy snow or ice, consider investing in a durable, weather-resistant court cover. This protects the surface from harsh weather conditions and reduces cleanup time in the spring. At Tennis Court Supply, we offer premium covers tailored to fit various court dimensions, ensuring maximum protection.

5. Winterize Accessories

Don’t forget about the accessories that enhance your playing experience. Nets, windscreen ties, and posts can deteriorate in extreme weather. Remove nets and windscreens, store them in a dry area, and inspect them for wear and tear. Replace any damaged items to be ready for spring matches.

6. Plan for Spring Improvements

Winter is the perfect time to plan upgrades for your tennis court. Whether it’s adding new lighting, upgrading your net system, or resurfacing the entire court, preparing during the off-season allows for a seamless transition to spring play.
