TENNIS
En-Tout-Cas Tennis Courts Ltd provide different tennis court playing surfaces and multi-use games areas for home or tennis club use. They offer a range of features and benefits in terms of court life, maintenance and suitability for the games you want to play and the ability and age of the players.
For home use, we recommend either Savanna which is soft, durable and the most advanced synthetic grass tennis court surface available, or Pladek, an excellent all-around tennis surface for those who prefer a hard court. These two surfaces offer home users a great combination of lower maintenance and value for money. Our other surfaces are more suited for use by tennis clubs and those who have more specialist requirements.
We have developed the Savanna court into the most advanced synthetic tennis surface on the market. Savanna is a soft and durable tennis surface. Its specialist fibre construction gives increased cushioning underfoot and consistent ball bounce. Savanna is unique to En-Tout-Cas.
Unlike most modern tennis systems, Savanna is a half sand-filled surface, leaving enough exposed fibre so that users can appreciate its aesthetics. It also offers the benefit of keeping the sand away from the surface of the court. As a result, players stay isolated from the sand and the court plays at a consistent pace whether it is wet or dry.
