Lighting Solutions for Multi-Sport Athletic Courts
One of the most important aspects of a multi-sport athletic court is proper lighting. LED lighting for athletic courts can help extend playing time, reduce shadows, and improve safety. Some tips for improving athletic court lighting include:
-
Using LED lights for maximum and adjustable brightness
-
Incorporate motion sensor lighting to double as security lighting
-
Incorporate smart controls to make adjusting the lights easy
-
Using the proper number of poles and pole height to cover the entire court
-
Ensure proper placement for glare control
Multi-Use Nets for Maximum Space Saving
Multi-use nets for athletic courts are a perfect way to save space and increase playability. They are simple to use, allowing you to adjust the height of a net for different sports, such as pickleball, volleyball, badminton, and tennis.
They are also a more cost-effective way to create a multi-sport athletic court than having individual nets or ones that you have to put up and take down between every sport. Multi-use nets also make it easier for people of different ages and heights to enjoy sports, as the net can be lowered to accommodate a younger crowd.
Multi-Use Spectator Areas For Guests
If you want to include an area for guests to hang out and watch the games, there are a few ways to do so while saving space. Some tips for creating spectator seating include:
-
Building tiered seating that doubles as retaining walls for your backyard
-
Patio areas that can be used for BBQs or other events
-
Adjustable shade to accommodate different times of day
-
Collapsible seating that can be stored when not in use
