Court fence is tall chain link built to a tighter standard than a yard fence. We build and repair enclosures for tennis and pickleball courts at schools, parks, clubs, apartment communities and private homes in Saint Paul and the East Metro, in galvanized or black and green vinyl-coated fabric.
Height is what makes it demanding. A ten or twelve foot fence is a large surface for wind, and far more so with windscreen tied to it. Posts are larger, set closer and sunk deeper than on a residential fence, with footings below frost depth so the line stays plumb. If a few posts heave, the fabric goes slack and the gates bind, and that is the usual reason an older court fence looks tired.
We also handle the parts around the fence: walk gates and a wider maintenance gate, center dividers between courts, and lower fences between pickleball courts. A fence of this height is above the seven-foot limit for an ordinary yard fence in Saint Paul and gets its own review and inspection, so we take the plan to the city before building.
Tennis court fencing in Saint Paul: common questions
Can you convert a tennis court enclosure for pickleball?
Yes. The outer fence usually stays and low divider fences and extra gates are added between the new courts.
Should I take windscreen down for winter?
It is a good idea. Screens left up through winter storms load the fence when little else is sheltering it. Removing them in fall is easier on the posts.
Can an old court fence be repaired, or must it be replaced?
If the posts are plumb and solid, new fabric, rails and gates make it sound again. If many posts have lifted or rusted through at the base, replacing the run is the better spend.
