Every lighting and fencing project starts with a site check: court dimensions, existing post condition, power access point, and fence height relative to the sport being played. Roanoke courts range from compact backyard setups to full community-size layouts, and each needs a different fence height and light coverage plan to work properly.
Chain link fencing is set on galvanized steel posts anchored in concrete footings. Fence panel height is matched to the sport, with tennis and pickleball typically requiring taller containment than a basketball perimeter. Top rail and gate hardware are included in the scope, and post spacing is set to handle wind load without flex.
LED fixtures are mounted on courtside poles at heights that cover the full playing surface without creating glare zones at the baseline or net. Surface wiring is routed to the power connection point confirmed during the initial assessment. Evening use is common across Roanoke’s warmer months, so fixture alignment is checked for even coverage before the job is signed off.

Questions about court lighting & fencing in Roanoke
Do I need new poles for court lighting, or can the lights go on what I already have?
It depends on what you already have. Existing poles must be the right height, spacing, and structural rating to carry sports lighting fixtures safely. An on-site evaluation checks whether your current poles meet those requirements. If they do not, new dedicated lighting poles are installed as part of the job.
How do I know if my court fence is too low for the sport I play?
Tennis typically requires fencing at least 10 feet tall on the sides and up to 20 feet behind the baselines. Pickleball and basketball work with lower heights, often 8-10 feet. If balls regularly clear your fence during play, it is too low. An on-site evaluation confirms the right height for your specific sport and court layout.
Will court lights create glare or dark spots on the court?
Poor fixture placement causes both problems. Glare comes from lights aimed too directly at players’ eye level; dark spots come from insufficient overlap between fixture beams. Proper court lighting uses a photometric layout calculated before installation to ensure even foot-candle coverage across the full playing surface with controlled beam angles.
Can lighting and fencing be added to an older court, or does the court need upgrades first?
Lighting and fencing can often be added to an existing court without a full rebuild. However, if the surface has significant cracking, drainage problems, or an unstable base, those issues should be addressed first so new post footings and conduit trenches are not compromised. The on-site evaluation flags any surface conditions that need attention before installation begins.
What gets checked before installing court lighting and fencing?
Every job starts with an on-site evaluation covering court dimensions, surface condition, drainage, soil stability for post footings, available electrical supply, and any setback or HOA restrictions. That information feeds into an itemised written estimate so you know exactly what the installation involves before any work starts.
How do you make sure the lights cover the whole court evenly?
Fixture count, pole height, and mounting angles are calculated using a photometric plan specific to your court’s dimensions and sport. That plan maps foot-candle levels across every zone of the surface before a single pole goes in. Adjustments are made at that stage, not after installation, so uneven coverage is caught on paper first.
Will the fence layout fit my court size and the sport I play?
Yes, fence layout is designed around your court’s exact dimensions and the sport being played. Different sports require different run-off clearances behind baselines and along sidelines. The on-site evaluation measures available space and confirms a fence plan that meets those clearances without eating into the playing area.
Can you work with my existing fence, or will it need new posts?
Existing fence posts can sometimes be reused if they are plumb, structurally sound, and set at the correct spacing for the new mesh or panels. Posts that are rusted, leaning, or set in deteriorated concrete footings need replacement. The on-site evaluation determines which posts are serviceable before the estimate is written.
Share the court location and what you play, and we’ll arrange an on-site evaluation and a written itemised estimate covering fencing and lighting as separate line items.
