Court Lighting & Fencing Questions

Yes, but it costs more. Running conduit after the acrylic colour coat is down requires cutting into finished surfacing. Scoping both elements before the surface goes down avoids that extra work and keeps the court surface intact.

Recreational play typically requires 30-50 lux at court level. Competitive play calls for 75 lux or more. The builder confirms the right fixture count and pole height for your court dimensions during the on-site evaluation.

Chain-link, vinyl-coated and powder-coated steel options are reviewed against your HOA colour requirements before materials are ordered. Bringing HOA specs to the evaluation avoids a rejection and a second installation.

Clay-heavy soil and freeze-thaw cycles in Loudoun County typically require posts set at least 36-42 inches deep. The builder confirms exact post depth during the on-site evaluation based on actual soil conditions at your site.

Retrofitting conduit after surfacing means cutting into the finished acrylic coat, which leaves visible repair lines and adds labour cost. Fencing posts installed later may also conflict with court line positions already painted on the surface.

Yes, electrical installations require a permit and must be completed by a licensed Virginia electrician. The builder coordinates the electrical permit and licensed electrician as part of the scoped project, so you do not manage that separately.
