How do I look after my court after it has been painted, and how long will the paint last?
Subject to the use of proper footwear, no overhanging trees, and the court kept clear of leaves, the painted surface will last 6 years or more. Overhanging branches MUST be cut back, as they drip sap, and also shade the painted surface causing it to be permanently damp – not good for the paint!! Moss will also become prevalent in these areas. In these particular areas the paint will last only approximately 3 to 4 years. This is where the binder – mentioned in my court maintenance section helps greatly.
Applying moss killer twice a year, and constant removal of leaves will keep your court going strong.
An example of how over hanging trees can damage a court and every courts enemy – Moss!
