Tennis Court Construction in Montana

A full 60'×120' post-tension court with tournament-grade acrylic surfacing — engineered to stay flat and true through decades of Montana winters.

Tennis courts are the most demanding build in the sport-court trade: a 60'×120' pad leaves nowhere for sloppy concrete work to hide. A hairline of frost heave that a patio would shrug off becomes a bad bounce at the baseline. That is why we build tennis courts exclusively on post-tension concrete — steel cables tensioned through the slab keep the entire 7,200 square feet in compression, so Montana's freeze-thaw cycles can't open cracks or telegraph seams through the playing surface.

Over that foundation we apply a 100% acrylic color system in multiple coats, with pace and texture dialed to your preference — from a slower, knee-friendly club surface to a fast tournament finish. Regulation striping, net posts set in engineered footings, 10-foot fencing, windscreens, and LED lighting complete the facility. Montana Court Company handles the entire scope under one contract, licensed and insured, with a written warranty. We build across Montana, Spokane, and Coeur d'Alene.

Residential tennis courts typically run $80,000–$150,000 depending on earthwork, fencing, and lighting; post-tension construction is standard, not an upcharge.

Why Homeowners Choose Us for Tennis Courts

Post-Tension Is Non-Negotiable

On a slab this large, post-tensioning is the only reliable defense against freeze-thaw cracking. Cables in compression keep 7,200 square feet monolithic and flat for decades.

Tunable Court Pace

Sand gradation in the acrylic system lets us build your court fast, medium, or slow. Tell us how you play; we will build the surface to match it.

True Regulation Facility

A 60'×120' pad provides ITF-standard run-back and side room around the 36'×78' playing lines, with net posts and center anchors set to exact specification.

Complete Enclosure Options

Ten-foot galvanized or black vinyl chain-link fencing, tensioned windscreens, and lockable gates keep balls in, wind down, and the court private.

Play Longer Each Season

Proper slope and drainage dry the court fast after mountain storms, and optional LED lighting extends play past sunset — meaningful in a Montana October.

Documented Warranty

Licensed, insured, and backed by a written workmanship warranty on slab and surface. A tennis court is a six-figure asset; ours come with paperwork worthy of one.

Our Process

How Your Tennis Court Project Runs

Site Evaluation

A tennis pad needs significant flat area and thoughtful orientation — ideally north-south. We survey grade, soil, and drainage before proposing placement.

Engineering & Design

We finalize pad dimensions, post-tension layout, surface colors, pace, fencing, and lighting into a scaled plan and fixed-scope contract.

Earthwork & Base

Excavation, engineered gravel base, and compaction testing come first. On a court this size, base integrity determines everything above it.

Slab, Cure & Surface

The post-tension slab is poured and stressed, cured roughly 28 days, then coated with multiple acrylic layers and striped to regulation.

Fit-Out & Walkthrough

Net posts, fencing, windscreens, and lighting are installed, then we walk every line with you and hand over warranty and care documents.

FAQs

Tennis Courts Questions, Answered

How much does a tennis court cost to build in Montana?
Most residential tennis courts run $80,000–$150,000 depending on earthwork, fencing, and lighting. The 60'×120' pad is roughly five times the concrete of a half-court basketball pad, and post-tensioning adds engineering cost that pays for itself in longevity. Sites needing significant cut-and-fill or retaining walls trend higher. We provide exact numbers after a site survey.
Why do you insist on post-tension concrete for tennis?
Because the slab is enormous and the sport is unforgiving. Conventional concrete relies on control joints that crack — acceptable in a sidewalk, ruinous under a tennis bounce. Post-tension cables squeeze the slab into compression so it behaves as one crack-resistant panel. In Montana's freeze-thaw climate, it is the difference between resurfacing on schedule and rebuilding in ten years.
What surface options do I have?
We install 100% acrylic color systems in two to three coats over an acrylic resurfacer, in classic combinations like US Open blue-green or custom colors. Court pace is adjustable through sand texture: more texture slows the ball and softens footing, less speeds play. Cushioned acrylic systems that reduce joint impact are available as an upgrade many of our over-40 clients choose.
How long does tennis court construction take?
Typically eight to twelve weeks. Earthwork and base take one to two weeks, the post-tension slab is poured and stressed within days, but concrete must cure about 28 days before acrylic application. Surfacing, striping, fencing, and lighting fill the remaining schedule. Within Montana's April–October season, courts started by midsummer finish before the snow flies.
Can one court work for both tennis and pickleball?
Yes. A tennis pad swallows a 20'×44' pickleball layout easily — we stripe pickleball lines in a subordinate color and can install a portable or blended net system. Some clients stripe four pickleball courts across one tennis footprint for family tournaments. We design the striping hierarchy so tennis lines stay visually dominant and neither game feels like an afterthought.
