Tennis Court complete

Okay I finished the tennis court (got the lines painted on and the net up) last week on May 30th. I like the new sandstone color but at least one friend complains they can't see the balls as well coming off the lighter colored surface. Doesn't bother me and I like the look more than the green court. The main thing is that it keeps the surface temperature cooler so the surface lasts longer. I have now started on improving the drainage by placing the latia posts up on the bottom rail of the pipe fence. This keeps them off the ground so water and leaves can escape off the court rather then being trapped there. Had a couple of boys over last Saturday and we got the far side done, should finish this project in a a couple of weeks. Another project is to put a door on the far side of the court so we don't need to walk so far to pick up balls that get hit out.
