Lighting Comparison
Low Mast Benefits– Suitable lighting levels
and uniformity– Reduced glare– Lower light pollution– Easier cleaning and
lamp replacements– More attractive
High Mast Benefits– Suitable lighting Levels
and uniformity– Less poles required– Less installation costs– Lobs are better
illuminated
Lighting Comparison
Low Mast Limitations– More expensive– Lobs are less visible
High Mast Limitations– Considerable light spill– Light pollution on
viewscapes– Blinding glare– Cleaning and lamp
replacement more difficult
– Greater setback from planning area may be required.

Surface ConsiderationsPrice– Which surface gives you the features you want and fits your budget?
Durability– How long will the court last over time? – How well will it hold up for the sport you want to play on it?
Maintenance– How much work will be required to keep your court in good shape?– How often will it require special maintenance?
Playability– What are you looking for in terms of court speed, and foot traction?
Body Impact– Average age of players– Do you have injury issues?– How much comfort do you want?
