POST TENSION CONCRETE  
THE ULTIMATE SYSTEM
FOR CRACK FREE
TENNIS COURTS!

2. What is Post Tension Concrete?
Post tension concrete is concrete reinforced with steel cables. The steel cables are stressed to the required force AFTER the concrete has been placed.
Post tension slabs are self- sufficient and do not rely on the ground or structure they sit on to maintain their structural integrity.

3. Post tension concrete compared to asphalt:
Ability to span unstable soils without major sub-base preparation
Resistant to settling and/or heaving
Eliminates heaving of net post footings
Perfect slope for drainage
Not effected by the breathing of the soils like asphalt
Eliminates the liability of structural cracking
Ability to reconstruct over existing courts without any major excavation or transporting of material

4. Step by Step Installation
All penetrations, form work, two layers of 6mil poly sheeting are installed followed by the post tension cables.

5. Step by Step Installation
Placement of concrete slab.

6. Step by Step Installation:
Finishing of the concrete slab.

7. Step by Step Installation:
Each post tension cable is stressed one day after the concrete is placed and then again seven days later. Each cable receives a force of 33,000 pounds per linear inch of cable. By stressing the cables you are placing the concrete slab in compression.

8. Step by Step Installation:
Installation of fence posts and perimeter curbing

9. Step by Step Installation:
Installation of surfacing

14. Tennis Court Surfacing
Coating concrete is different then coating asphalt
Tennis court paint is a water based product
Moisture vapor transmission
Surfacing System must be breathable
Acrylic cushioning systems are highly discouraged
3 – 4 coat applications are recommended
Polyurethane sealers should be used instead of a water based sealer
Cushioned surfaces
