Frequently Asked Questions
What are the official tennis court dimensions?
An official tennis court is 78 ft (23.77 m) long. For singles, the court width is 27 ft (8.23 m). For doubles, the court width is 36 ft (10.97 m).
How high is a tennis net?
A tennis net is 3 ft 6 in (1.07 m) high at the posts and 3 ft (0.914 m) high at the center.
How far are the service lines from the net on a tennis court?
The service lines are positioned 21 ft (6.40 m) from the net on each side.
How much total space is recommended around a tennis court?
For higher-level tennis court planning, guidance commonly allows around 21 ft (6.40 m) behind each baseline and 12 ft (3.66 m) at each sideline. This gives players enough run-off area around the marked court.
Can I build a custom-sized tennis court?
Yes. Swish can build tennis courts in custom dimensions for homes, training spaces, schools, clubs, and multi-sport areas. This is especially useful when you want a tennis-style court in a space smaller than a full official layout.
Which Swish tile series is best for a tennis court?
For sports with smaller balls such as tennis, we usually recommend Swish Elastic Tiles. They are especially suitable for these sports while also remaining an excellent option for multi-sport courts.
Can I add custom colors, logos, and multiple sports lines to a tennis court?
Yes. Customers can choose custom colors, add 1 logo at no extra cost, and include line markings for multiple sports on the same surface. This makes it easy to build a tennis court that also works for pickleball, basketball, or other games.
How do Swish tennis court tiles install, and what surface should be underneath?
Swish tiles install like a large puzzle and are designed for DIY-friendly assembly. The base should be solid and stable, such as concrete, pavers, or a properly prepared compacted base. Grass is not suitable. The underside pad system helps improve comfort, shock absorption, sound reduction, durability, and minor surface leveling.
