Asphalt is a readily available, cost effective solution for all-weather courts. Construction consists of a 2” base course followed by 1.5” of wearing course asphalt. Upon completion, the asphalt must dry-out (sometimes referred to as curing) for approximately 14-21 days before the coating process takes place.
In addition to acrylic coatings, asphalt provides a suitable material for a variety of surface applications including sand-filled turf and cushioned rolled goods.
Advantages of asphalt include:
- Less expensive
- Readily available
- Year-round playability
- Familiar surface for players
- Low maintenance
