Tips to Keep Outdoor Athletic Surfaces Well-Maintained in Wisconsin

There’s no question that a home game court is a great idea. From health benefits to extra social time, home athletic courts bring joy to families around Wisconsin. And when you make the investment into a home game court, it’s essential to care for it to keep it lasting as long as possible. 

Spending a few minutes a day or a week caring for your Wisconsin athletic court will help keep it from deteriorating. Wisconsin is one of the lucky states that experience all four seasons, which, while it certainly has its advantages, can also be potentially harsh on your court’s surface material. 

C&C Courts mitigates some of that by using only the best athletic court surfaces and by encouraging our customers to perform regular maintenance. Let’s take a look at how durable athletic court surfaces are and how to keep them in pristine condition. 

Game Court Surfaces

Like any part of your home, your backyard game court needs regular maintenance. Since Wisconsin sees many changes in weather and temperature throughout the year, your athletic court needs some TLC to keep from breaking, cracking, or disintegrating. 

When you choose C&C Courts to build your game court, you will choose from one of our most popular and durable surface materials. These outdoor surface materials withstand the climate in Wisconsin, so long as you take care of them. Let’s take a quick look at the surfaces available for your Wisconsin athletic court. 

Types of Surfaces

Each surface type comes with UV stabilizers that keep your court cooler and more comfortable during the hot summer months. This means you won’t burn yourself if you sit or fall on the court. This feature sets our surface materials apart from concrete or asphalt. 

In addition, each surface material is very durable and is able to withstand changing temperatures without breaking or cracking. They also come with excellent warranties to protect against manufacturing defects. 

Athletic Court Maintenance Tips

Routine athletic court maintenance will help your court stay in good condition and last longer. In general, game courts are very easy to maintain. Here are some tips to keep your athletic court in the best condition possible:
