There are countless advantages to owning a CAL-CAP® court over any other tennis surface, but the bottom line is savings. Because the CAL-CAP® court practically takes care of itself, you can save up to 900% annually on maintenance costs alone!

The budget for a properly maintained overhead irrigated court should include water, TCM (Tennis Court Material), lines, labor, roller, and a lift every 3-5 years, which amounts to approximately $8,000 per court, per year. A CAL-CAP® court can be budgeted for $1,500 per court, per year.

Here are a few of the cost advantages of a CAL-CAP® court:

  • retention and distribution of rainwater decreases water requirements drastically
  • sub-surface drainage and watering system practically eliminate surface migration of TCM, greatly reducing the need for top-dressing, rolling, brooming, and the use of wetting agents like calcium chloride.
  • a lift is rare for a CAL-CAP® court
  • increases line life by nearly 300%
  • less maintenance greatly reduces labor costs
  • down time is minimal
