FACILITIES GUIDE | JUNE 2020
Gates
Enough gates should be installed to allow entrance and exit at both ends of the court, to allow
retrieval of balls. There should also be access for wheelchair players and any required maintenance
equipment.
Windbreaks
While their primary role is to reduce and/or deflect the effects of wind, they provide a background
against which the ball can be seen. Thus, they should be of a sufficiently contrasting colour to the
ball (see section on colour). They also reduce glare and provide privacy. A single colour piece of
fabric is often used for this purpose.
