Portagrass Court
Our portable tennis courts use the Portagrass modules, 2.4 metre square metal frames supporting growing profile and grass. The system has been designed for maximum grass growth, ease of use and durability. The system is proven by year of use.
Tennis Australia has had a portable court since 2015. The court enables ties to be held on grass at hard court arenas. When not in use it is maintained in a nursery location. The court was prepared in Queensland and first transported the 1800 km to Melbourne. The court has been used for; Davis Cup, Australia vs USA, Melbourne 2016; Davis Cup, Australia vs Slovakia, Sydney 2016; Fed Cup, Australia vs Ukraine, Canberra 2018.
