Post-Tension Concrete Courts in Utah
A lasting court starts below the color. Ace Courts builds post-tension concrete slabs for pickleball, tennis, basketball, and multi-sport courts. Our certified team handles concrete and post-tension work in house, with acrylic surfacing, fencing, and lighting delivered by Ace Courts too. Serving Utah, Arizona, and Idaho.
What makes a post-tension court different
Steel tendons are tensioned after the concrete reaches the required strength, placing the slab in compression. That compression helps control cracking and supports a more continuous playing surface. The result starts with sound design and careful installation.
A sound slab starts with the site
We review soil conditions, drainage, grade, and equipment access before planning your slab. Post-tension is part of a complete court system; the ground beneath it still matters.

Prepare the ground for lasting play
Our in-house crew excavates, grades, and prepares the base for your court. We coordinate finished elevations and drainage with the slab plan before forms or cables go in.
The strength is planned before the pour
We set the forms and install the post-tension tendons and anchors to the project plans. Court dimensions, slab elevations, and equipment locations are coordinated at this stage. Our certified in-house team handles the details that will be built into the concrete.

Turn the slab into your playing surface
Once the slab meets the coating system requirements, our in-house team prepares the surface and applies acrylic colors and game lines. Choose a dedicated pickleball, tennis, or basketball court, or a shared layout. Fencing and lighting can complete the build with the same Ace Courts team.

The slab and the team behind it
Post-tension performance depends on both the concrete system and the people installing it. Here is what goes into your Ace Courts project.
From prepared ground to finished court
Each phase supports the next. We plan the slab and the finished court together so the details are addressed before they become obstacles.
Evaluate & plan
Tell us what you want to play and how you want to use the space. We review access, grades, drainage, and the site information needed to plan your post-tension court.
Prepare the base
Our crew prepares the court area, establishes elevations, and coordinates the base and drainage with the slab plan.
Install & pour
We coordinate forms, tendons, anchors, and planned court equipment locations before placing and finishing the concrete.
Stress & cure
Tendons are stressed after the concrete develops the specified strength. Curing and surface preparation continue before the acrylic system is installed.
Surface & complete
Our in-house team installs acrylic colors and game lines, fencing, and lighting according to your project scope, then walks through the finished court with you.
One slab. Your way to play.
Your post-tension court should fit the games you love and the space you have.

Pickleball, tennis, basketball, and shared courts
Start with your sport, then plan the slab around the playing area, clearances, and equipment. Whether you want one dedicated court or a shared layout, we coordinate the concrete with the finished court design.
Acrylic colors and game lines
Choose colors that fit your property, with clear markings for your sports. Ace Courts applies the acrylic surface in house.
Fencing that fits the court
Plan ball containment, gate access, and the court perimeter together. Our team installs the fencing as part of your build.
Lighting planned with the slab
Bring lighting into the conversation early so pole locations and infrastructure work with the court layout and surrounding space.
Equipment in the right places
Hoops and net posts should be coordinated before the pour. We turn your preferred court layout into a practical construction plan.

Details that matter beyond the pour
A good post-tension court is more than a concrete specification. It is a series of decisions made with the finished playing experience in mind.
Plan the complete court
We connect the slab plan with acrylic surfacing, fencing, lighting, and equipment. Your construction scope starts with the complete court you want to use.
Work with a certified installer
Post-tension is specialized concrete work. Ace Courts brings post-tension certification and in-house installation to your court project.

Give drainage proper attention
Court elevations and drainage deserve attention before the pour. We review how the court fits the site and where water needs to go.

Prepare for the finish
The concrete and acrylic surface have different jobs. We coordinate the transition between them so the slab is prepared for the selected coating system.
Build around your users
Backyard play and shared community courts have different priorities. We discuss your sports, access, and expected use when planning the project.
Post-tension court FAQs
Practical answers about the slab, the build, and the finished playing surface.
It is concrete reinforced with steel tendons that are tensioned after the concrete reaches the required strength. The tendons place the slab in compression, helping resist tensile stresses and control cracking.
Post-tension helps control cracking; it does not make concrete crack-proof. Site conditions, design, construction, drainage, and ongoing care all affect performance. We discuss the appropriate slab approach for your project before construction.
The slab should suit the site and intended court. Soil conditions, drainage, access, project requirements, and budget all influence that decision. We review those factors with you instead of treating every property the same.
Court size, site preparation, access, drainage, and the selected surface, fencing, and lighting affect both price and schedule. Concrete strength development, coating requirements, and weather also influence timing. Contact us for a project-specific scope and estimate.
Yes. We handle concrete and post-tension, acrylic surfacing, fencing, and lighting in house. We can plan those elements together as part of your complete court project.
