Our Process
After 15 years of trying various techniques, we have arrived at what we believe to be the very best way of tennis court lining:
For a hardwearing, resilient, and highly visible line throughout the court, our paint is manufactured with extra texture for surer grip. After marking the tennis court with tape to create the sharpest of lines, paint is applied with a roller.
Due to the nature of an open textured tarmacadam court (particularly on older courts), and the fact that the surface is neither smooth nor quite often flat, there is a chance that the paint can ‘bleed’ from one missing granule of tarmac into another – although we firmly believe the pros to our methods by far outweigh the cons.

- For tennis clubs and commercial tennis courts, regular marking attracts new customers or players

- The professional appearance of your court will boost your reputation
The Court is Composed of Several Primary Tennis Court Markings, such as:
Baseline
The baseline runs along each end of the court. Whether you’re serving or waiting for your opponent’s serve, each point begins behind the baseline.
Doubles Sideline
This runs along the outer edges of the court when the full 36ft width is in use for doubles matches.
Singles Sideline
Marking the full width of the singles court and running its full length, this line is parallel to the doubles sideline and 9ft inside it.
Service Box
Marking the full width of the singles court and running its full length, this line is parallel to the doubles sideline and 9ft inside it.
Centre Service Line
The centre service line is the line dividing the two service boxes.
Service Line
The ball must land inside or on the service line or centre service line and within the relevant service box for it to remain in play.
Doubles Tramline
Doubles players have this additional playing space between the doubles sideline and the singles sideline.
Baseline Centre Mark
When you serve, it’s beneficial to stand immediately to the side of the small baseline centre mark to achieve maximum court coverage when your opponent returns.
Net
The net is slightly lower in the centre, so the extra height must be taken into consideration when shots are hit down the line, while volleys are played closer to the net.
