Sports Courts and Outdoor Play Specialists

If it’s for sport or play, these professionals will be able to help you create a bespoke feature to fit with your garden or outdoor space. A treehouse or wooden playhouse is the perfect escape for adventurous children and if you hire a custom tree house designer they’ll be able to create a magical hideaway for them, relieving you from any DIY nightmares.

For a more grown-up play area, a tennis court, netball court, basketball court, or any other sports court, is a great way of utilising outdoor space to exercise, practice your hobby or start learning a new sport (in the privacy of your own home!). Tennis court construction doesn’t have to be as cumbersome as it sounds when you hire a sports court designer. They will handle all of the design, logistics and tennis court installation, liaising with you every step of the way, in order to put together your dream outdoor sports area.

Why would you need to hire a sports court specialist?

Tennis court installation can be very technical; there are many materials, measurements, specifications and technology to consider and it is not a project to take on lightly. The same goes for other sports courts such as netball and basketball courts, football pitches and golf courses, but by hiring a professional who is experienced in sports court construction, you’ll feel much more confident when building your outdoor sports area. Hiring a tennis court construction or other sports court specialist who has worked on similar projects to yours is always important, but with sports court builds it is especially essential as it means the professional will be familiar with national regulations, standards and rules for tennis court installations and other sports fields.

If you want to give your children a place to play that rivals the local playground, then you can talk to playground designers and contractors who can provide you with playground equipment and will install a fantastic playground design catered to your children’s requirements and preferences. A playground designed by a professional will be safe but fun, and will usually outrival any shop-bought climbing frame or higgledy-piggledy DIY play area.

Why should I use a professional to build my treehouse?

It’s often tempting to give in to your children’s pleas for a treehouse by heading out to the garden’s largest tree with some MDF and a hammer, but not only is it less work but much safer to contact a custom tree house designer to build your children’s ideal treehouse. Treehouses and treetop climbing frames can be complex builds and dangerous structures for children if not constructed correctly. Take a look through the previous projects, reviews and ask questions of the climbing frame or treehouse designer to make sure you are confident in their previous work.
