Clay Court Irrigation

Clay Court Irrigation

Har-Tru clay tennis courts require a properly designed sprinkler system to maintain adequate moisture levels for optimal playing conditions. The base material, under the Har-Tru surface, is designed to store moisture. When the surface begins to dry out, evaporation pulls this water up into the Har-Tru surface to maintain the proper moisture level. This process is dependent on an adequate watering schedule for your particular application.

Active Sports' tennis court construction professionals can help you design, build and maintain your Har-Tru clay tennis court. We use and supply sprinkler system components manufactured by Signature (formally Nelson), Hunter and Rainbird. See the chart below for details on the various sprinkler models.
