What is the appropriate side height for a tennis court tent? What is the typical size?

Tents have become a popular option for sports investment in recent years. Their quick approval process, portability, and low cost allow real estate developers, schools, and clubs to complete a professional-grade venue within three months, even when land quotas are tight or budgets are limited. Compared to traditional construction, tents can be easily relocated, providing plug-and-play flexibility for events, youth training programs, and commercial complexes.

Tent tennis stadiums have three core advantages:

1. All-weather protection – Double-layer PVC tarpaulin and insulation provide warmth in winter and shade in summer, increasing year-round utilization by three times.

2. Large span – The aluminum alloy structure boasts a clear span of up to 40 meters, with no columns inside, ensuring unobstructed sightlines and an excellent viewing experience.

3. Low energy consumption – Natural light strips and roof ventilation windows eliminate the need for artificial lighting during the day, saving over 15% in operating costs compared to steel-structured stadiums.

Different scenarios require different side heights, so you should choose a tennis tent size based on your specific needs:

Youth training centers: Side heights of 4–5 meters are sufficient, meeting the height requirements of ball machines and youth hitting, and are the most economical.

Amateur clubs: Side heights of 6 meters are sufficient to accommodate adult high balls and overhead lighting, ensuring a comfortable visual experience.

Professional tournaments/commercial operations: Side heights of 8 meters or higher are required, with space reserved for camera jibs, advertising trusses, and spectator stands, meeting ITF tournament standards.

Recommended general dimensions for tennis tents:

Single-sided court: 18 m wide x 36 m long, 6 m side height, 9 m ceiling height, with the option of adding 2 m aisles on either side.

Double-sided court: 36 m wide x 40 m long, 8 m side height, 12 m ceiling height, no central columns, suitable for exhibition matches.

High-end complex: 40 m wide x 60 m long, 10 m side height, 15 m ceiling height, with space reserved for VIP boxes and a dining area on the second floor.

The height of a tennis stadium's side isn't necessarily higher, but rather depends on matching the desired operational location. 4-5 meters for youth training, 6 meters for clubs, and 8 meters or higher for tournaments. Combined with a starting length and width of 18 m x 36 m, this creates the optimal balance between cost and experience, delivering a faster return on investment.
