DEVELOPING CHAMPIONS AROUND THE WORLD
When you own a Har-Tru court, you share a piece of
history. Har-Tru is made from natural, green stone formed
hundreds of millions of years ago in the Appalachian
Mountains. This stone is quarried in Charlottesville, Va. just
below historic Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson.
This uniquely hard and angular stone was first used for
Har-Tru in 1932 when a test court was built in Hagerstown,
Md. It was easy to build with, easy to maintain and fast
to dry and steadily became the surface of choice for avid
tennis players and aspiring champions. Har-Tru courts
have been a part of the US Open and the 2014 Davis Cup
by BNP Paribas First Round Tie, USA versus Great Britain.
With courts and products in 23 countries and
every state in the U.S., this uniquely American surface
is the training ground for the next wave of Grand Slam
champions. Har-Tru remains dedicated to developing
these champions through a variety of activities, including
partnerships with tournaments, leagues, training centers
and grassroots programs. Our consulting activities and
seminars assist club and resort operators, as well as
contractors, provide the ultimate court experience for
current and future players.
WHAT DOES CONSULTING WITH HAR-TRU DELIVER TO YOU AND YOUR CUSTOMERS?
The Facility Analysis Survey includes gathering
and documenting historical site data, geotechnical
information, court orientation, computer-generated
3-dimensional topographical surface maps, surface
thickness and base stone measurements, analysis of the
irrigation systems, court drainage, curbing, tennis court
lighting, nets, net posts, fencing, and other court and
player amenities.
We can help you provide the ultimate court experience
for your current and future players. The Facility Analysis
Survey supplies you with the tools you need to educate
and advocate for your current and future court care
needs and expansion.

Wilson Clay court Ball
Engineered specifically for Har-Tru courts!
This ball is the culmination of many requests from customers,
many conversations with vendors and considerable on-court
testing. We are thrilled to be able to share with you Tour Clay
Green from Wilson, a tennis ball designed for Har-Tru courts and
endorsed by us! This product is enhanced with Element Guard
Technology to prevent the balls from picking up moisture and
clay. This improves performance, while increasing ball life and
visibility. It’s a must for indoor Har-Tru courts and sub-surface
irrigated courts.
european red clay
Our European Red is ideal for topdressing existing real clay
courts and covering red ClayTech courts. It has also been used
as a cap on top of existing Har-Tru courts to seal off the green
and leave the fiery red/orange finish on display. The product is
produced from crushed bricks and is imported in 55-lb bags.
nets
Har-Tru nets are made of polyester, a stronger, crisper-looking
material that drapes extremely well compared with polypropylene,
which typically produces a stiffer-bodied, duller-looking net.

PACKAGING
We offer many packaging options for both the contractor and court owner. Most of our products come in 80-lb plastic bags, with the
option of getting that product in an Easy-Lift 50-lb plastic bag, as well. The 50-lb-bag option is intended for those of us not used to
handling bags all day. Some insurance company requirements in certain areas will dictate using a 50 lb bag. Both the 80-lb and the
50-lb bags can be palletized and stretch-wrapped for easy handling and additional weather protection.
For our contractors, we also stock and load Har-Tru or HydroBlend in bulk bags. These disposable bags are available in 2000 lbs, 2500
lbs and 2800 lbs and can be taken right from the truck to the court with a forklift.

Tow Model Gator Rake
146-3684
The Har-Tru Gator Rake is one of the finest grooming and leveling
tools we have ever offered. The product is all aluminum and
stainless steel. The tine system is composed of stainless steel
rods less than 1/8 inch in diameter that put just the right bite into
your court surface, leaving a finely groomed, highly manicured
appearance. The Har-Tru Gator Rake can be towed behind a
cart or pulled by hand, depending on your needs. Weight can
be added to the top of the rake on special weight towers (must
be purchased separately) to increase the aggressiveness of the
tool and help it dig into hard-packed courts, regenerating loose
sliding material.

HAND Gator Rake
146-3685 24"
The 24" Hand Gator Rake is ideal for agitating the court surface
prior to patching and topdressing. It also works great as a
maintenance tool on small hard-pan areas and along fence lines.
COURT DEVIL
COURT DEVIL JR.
Designed to agitate the court surface without removing or
damaging existing line tapes, it also helps prevent and break up
mineral deposits, mold, algae and fungus that tighten the court
surface. It scarifies the court with circular steel blades mounted on
free-turning axles. For best results on the court, add no more than
50 lbs of additional weight. Weight 105 lbs, width 48".
This smaller, hand-model Court Devil is designed for maintaining
areas along court perimeters and beneath the net line. It is also
great for loosening localized hard spots. Weight 85 lbs, width 16".

TOW SCARIFIER
146-3413 4' wide, 2 rows of nails, 61 nails per row
This 48" wide heavy-duty tow model scarifier is truly a
workhorse for loosening the top surface on Har-Tru courts. It is
especially good for indoor courts and sunbaked Southern courts
that have excess calcium buildup. The unit is heavy enough to allow its two rows of case-hardened nails to really penetrate
the surface.
• Staggered nails on each row prevent clumps
• Sized to fit between the alley tape
• Levered wheels lift unit over tapes so tapes can be left in place
• Adjustable tow hitch fits most utility vehicles
• Adjustable steel rails lower nails as they wear down
• Removable steel plate allows for easy nail replacement
• 40D nails: 3/16" diameter by 5" long
146-3415 Replacement nails
LUTE/SCARIFIER
146-3047 30"
146-3420 48"
The lute/scarifier is two tools in one, made of all-aluminum for
scarifying, leveling and removing loose granules. It is strong
and sturdy, yet light enough to use all day and excellent for
spreading new material during topdressing. The concave shape
of the 30" wide blade allows the tool to “float” along the surface,
without grabbing or digging in.
TAPE LAYOUT CABLES
150-3032
Line tape layout is a snap with the court cables from Har-Tru. One person can locate pivot points and corners quickly, saving time and effort. Instructions included.
KNEE NAILER
150-3423
The Knee Nailer was designed
to reduce the grind of hand
nailing. It is constructed of
highly durable 11-gauge steel,
stable wheels and a removable,
1" heavy-density foam pad to kneel on. The top of the unit is
3 3/8" off the ground. By placing one knee on the cushioned
surface, an individual can roll comfortably along the length of the
line without having to constantly get up and down. With 2000
nails in one court, this little accessory provides big relief.
Court TAPE Nailing system
TAPE STRETCHER
Easy to operate, this heavy-duty pneumatic coil-type nailing
machine reduces tennis court installation time by 70%. When
pushed along a preset boundary tape, nails are set every 6
inches along the tape edge, with the process repeated along
the other side of the tape. Its adjustable dual chassis allows the
nail gun to recoil and not affect the chassis alignment. Pivoting
rear axle compensates for uneven court surfaces. Automatic or
manual control. Requires air compressor with a minimum of 5 hp
and 8 cfm. 60 lbs.
The tape stretcher ratchet has a 2"-wide
slot to insert tape for quick and easy
installation of straight line tapes by one
person. The leather pad and support strap
allow the ratchet to pull the tape straight
and taut just above the surface so it can
be nailed securely. The tape stretcher will
improve the straightness of your tape and
decrease installation time. It is especially
helpful with old tapes.

Conveniently packaged in a Lawn Buddy,
our handy tape-laying kit contains everything you will need for laying tapes: 100'
tape measure, hammer, utility knife, kneepads and a ball of string. The Lawn Buddy
is on wheels, easy to pull along and great
to sit on while nailing tapes.

This Designer tape is the best line tape
you can buy for your court, with its surespin feature and unique raised pattern,
specifically designed to allow consistent
ball spin and speed at any angle the ball
strikes the tape. It offers easy cleaning,
long life, and stability, and will not yellow
with age. The webbing is made from the
finest synthetics available, and has a pure
PVC coating. It is available with or without
preformed nail holes.
108-3677 36' Temporary Lines
108-3678 60' Temporary Lines
Our 36' temporary lines come in red to
match the red ball used on 36' courts and
to show up sharply against the Har-Tru
green. The system comes in two pieces,
an outside rectangle and an inside I. The
pieces are attached with Velcro and secured to the court surface with just
twelve nails. Nails are included with the
lines. Lines are 1" wide.
These lines are identical to the 36' lines
except they are colored orange to match
the orange ball used in 60' tennis. Ten
nails (included) secure these to the court.
One Velcro intersection allows you to
install the lines without disconnecting the
center strap. All intersections are stitched
together. Lines are 1.5" wide.
HAR-TRU CLASSIC TAPE HAR-TRU HERRINGBONE
109-601P
TAPE
The same top-quality webbing and vinyl
coating used in our Designer line tape
is also the basis for our Har-Tru Classic
tape. It has an even-textured, rubberized
coating that combines good ball bounce,
long life and easy cleaning. Available with
preformed nail holes. The Har-Tru Classic
tape represents affordable quality in a
line tape.
109-603P (punched)
109-603U (unpunched)
The Har-Tru Herringbone tape is designed
to ensure consistent ball spin and speed at
any angle the ball strikes the tape. It is easy
to install, made of long-lasting vinyl, meets
specifications, cleans easily, stays white
longer and has preformed holes for nailing
ease. It has the same long-life quality as
the Har-Tru Classic tape, but with added
texture. The balance of quality construction
and player benefits makes the Herringbone
tape the best tape value.

Easy to operate and maintain, we believe you will find CourtPac Rollers are the best
designed tennis court rollers on the market today. They are equipped with a durable
Honda engine that starts on the first pull. A hydraulic transmission that is smooth
and responsive controls speed and direction. The engine position allows the exhaust
fumes to blow away from the driver. CourtPac Rollers are easy to maintain—just add
oil! There are no chains or sprockets, and the heavy-duty polyurethane scraper bars
are quiet and will last years before replacement is needed. There is an emergency
stop button, emergency break and a safety switch under the seat. Neutral safety
switches prevent the roller from starting or jumping when in gear, making it the safest
roller on the market today. The seat is large and cushioned and adjusts to position
the driver for easy handling and maneuvering of the roller. We’ve even included a cup
holder! 2-year warranty.

power roller. This unit can be upgraded to a motorized roller by
adding the power head of the CourtPac Pro as shown on page
11. It comes with a towing tongue, hitch pin, urethane blades, and
front and rear court brushes. Shown here with optional auxiliary
wheels. It comes in a 4' and 5' width and has a 1-year warranty.

AUXILIARY WHEELS
ROLLER BRUSHES
Auxiliary wheels have been designed to ease roller movement
over difficult terrain. Leverage handles raise or lower the wheels,
lifting the roller off the ground to prevent damage. A heavy-duty
locking pin secures the wheels in position. The auxiliary wheels
will increase the life of your roller and make it much easier and
quieter to use when difficult transporting is required.
The complete brush assembly includes the brush, upright
mounting rods, floating springs, adjustment knobs and hardware.
The brushes have easy-to-change, replaceable bristles.
128-3038
This 24" x 24" hand roller is improved to give the same split-roller
action as our more expensive rollers. Dual drums can be water
filled for added weight, yet can turn on the court without damaging the surface. This is the only hand roller that can be towed in
ovals with its dual-purpose handle. A scraper brush is included
for removing any buildup on the drum. Good roller for those on a
tight budget. 1-year warranty.

DRAG BRUSHES
STEEL BRISTLE
DRAG BRUSH
DRAG BRUSH/LUTE, 7'
AUSSIE CLEAN SWEEP
The drag brush/lute combination has three
individual rows of 6" bristles. Two softer,
outer bristles move the finest particles of
Har-Tru, and a third firm, inner bristle levels
low spots and divots. Turn the brush over
and you have a 7' lute, perfect for cutting
out high spots or leveling small patches.
Every club should have one.
This unique combination tool from Australia helps pick up and remove leaves, pine
needles, stones, ball fuzz and other debris
found on your court while grooming the
court like a drag brush. The PVC tines lift
the debris and flip it on top of the unit so it
can be carried off the court. Available in 4'
and 8' widths.

The steel bristles excel at agitating the
surface of hardened indoor and outdoor
courts with sub-surface irrigation. They
help break up algae and prevent its formation. Stainless steel bristles reduce rusting
and increase this product’s durability.

DRAG BRUSH, 7'
TOW HANDLE
This drag brush has the built-in strength
and versatility with replaceable dual 4 1/2"
bristles designed to level and manicure
your court. Reverse the handle and double
the life of the broom. Other bristle combinations are available on special orders.
The tow handle includes right and left handles, a U joint, and an “S” hook. This setup
allows the drag brush to be pulled at the
proper angle and provides for easy attachment to a utility vehicle. Special knuckle
action helps prevent breakage if the brush
bumps the fence or net while in tow.

SUPER SOPPER
143-300 7-gal Mackerel

The Super Sopper takes care
of total water removal by lifting
water off the court using an
ingenious collection system
that holds up to 14 gallons at
a time. How does the Super
Sopper work? Water is lifted
from a court using a spongecovered barrel and is strained
into the center of the porous
barrel, where it can be held and
later emptied. The Super Sopper is perfect for courts that tend to
puddle in low areas and need total water removal to get courts in
play fast. It can be used on both hard courts and Har-Tru courts.
Replacement sponges available.

IRRIGATION
4-HEAD LAYOUT
We offer equipment from three leaders in irrigation. Why?
Facilities have individual needs and preferences and we want to
provide you a choice. All the heads we offer have stainless steel
risers and are highly suited for tennis court sprinkler systems.
Here are a few notes that might help you make a selection:
6-HEAD LAYOUT
30'
1 X gpm
2 X gpm
30'
8-HEAD LAYOUT
30'-40'
1. Ascertain the pressure and volume of your water source and
the size of your incoming line. Then utilize the chart on the
next page to see what heads are an option.
1 X gpm
2 X gpm
3 X gpm
4 X gpm
2. The higher the model numbers, the more water the head will
put on the court and the further the throw radius.
3. The Rainbird Falcon Series has a different head for full-circle
(FC) and part-circle (PC) rotation, so select the head that
meets your needs.
30'-40'
BATTERY OF TWO COURTS
7- OR 8-HEAD LAYOUT
4. HS means it is a high-speed head. High-speed heads
turn more quickly than standard heads, allowing them to
distribute more water per watering cycle. Due to the faster rotating speed, the distance they throw the water will be reduced.
Har-Tru consultants are available to answer your questions by
phone at 1-877-4HARTRU. We also have consultants who will
come to your facility and analyze your system and help you
design a new one. Let us do the work!

107-3656 Net Tension Gauge, Standard Bottom
Loop
Reliability, predictability and
safety! This innovative product provides a simple and reliable solution
to consistent net tension. A shot
that hits the net cord is challenging
enough. Competitive players want
the experience to be the same from
court to court, and the TNT gauge allows for greater predictability by synchronizing net tension across multiple courts.
Perhaps more importantly, the TNT gauge promotes safety. If
someone bounces or falls on the net, the cord and the posts
can be dangerously stressed. With the TNT gauge installed, the
spring yields first, reducing risk and protecting players. This
product has been used and tested at the professional and collegiate levels. Order them for your facility today.

Our adjustable center strap can be used with any pipe anchor.
Made from a high-quality synthetic webbing for long life, it

The center strap anchor is made from
black steel pipe with a pin in the top for
center strap hookup. It is coated with
green enamel paint and has an overall
length of 9". A 2" outside diameter
pipe makes it easy to attach and
detach the net strap.
Ask us about other center strap anchors.
TIP
Keeping the Har-Tru surface agitated around and under the
net can help inhibit and eliminate moss and algae. Surface
scarification is a natural remedy for all moss and algae growth.

FEATURES
Our professional line of baskets features a rod (Patent #6,945,578
B2) that flexes slightly as you pick up balls, eliminating bent wires
and broken welds. All baskets in the Professional Line except the
“Coach” include a stand option that allows you to swing the handles
down, raising the basket to waist level for ball access, and swing the
handles up, lowering the basket for ball pick up. Lid included.
DURABILITY
We recently redesigned all of our ball baskets, raising the height
of the end “V” wires—which holds our flexible center rods—to stop
premature wear at this critical point. We also trued and squared all basket components. Our unbreakable basket bottom is constructed without welds, and bottom wires have plastic wear feet—
assembled at the factory prior to shipment— for added protection
along entire contact points.

how to choose windscreens
Call us to talk about including
logos on your windscreen.
Windscreens are a functional and aesthetic addition to your tennis
courts. They provide a dark backdrop against which players can
see and react to ball movement better. They serve to break up
gusting winds and allow consistent, even air flow. Windscreens
minimize annoying distractions from nearby swimming pools,
parking lots, highways and players on adjacent courts. They give
courts a professional appearance and increase playing pleasure
by providing a consistent background and color.
With today’s various windscreen materials, the decision regarding
which one to use should be based primarily on cost and aesthetic
considerations rather than on wind reduction, because all
windscreens work well to break up gusting winds.
Another consideration is how dense a windscreen can be installed
without risking fence damage from strong winds. Nine-foot
windscreens are recommended for nearly all courts, and they
should include anti-billow tabs as well as 6" x 12" openings placed
5' to 10' apart. Six-foot windscreens generally do not look as
attractive as, nor reduce wind as well as, nine-foot windscreens.
They should only be used if the facilities are located near the
water with very strong winds, which would destroy fences with 9'
windscreens attached.
Our most highly recommended windscreen is the Mastershade
Plus. Made of knitted high-density polyethylene monofilament, it
has superior UV resistance and a special “heat-set” treatment that
allows the windscreen to lie flat and straight on the fence without
billowing. Mastershade Plus hems are 3-ply construction with
heavy-duty binding, and anti-billow tabs built into every nine-foot
piece. It is moderately priced, easy to install, very durable, and
34
www.hartru.com | 1-877-4-HAR-TRU (1-877-442-7878)
looks good over time, making it perfect for nearly all applications.
However, if privacy is an issue, you may need a more opaque
windscreen to minimize visual distractions from public
thoroughfares. The Royale Screen, made of vinyl-coated
polyester, is an excellent choice and offers a high level of opacity.
For smaller budgets, the PVC offers high mildew and sun
resistance at an excellent price, while the polypropylene Air
Master I is an excellent choice for controlling wind while providing
consistent airflow. They both look great on the court and add to
your playing pleasure.
At the high end, the nine-foot-high Pro Screen offers a particularly
attractive and distinctive look with its five-foot-high vinyl center
(for maximum ball visibility) and two-foot-high PVC top and
bottom (for optimal airflow).
vent & window patterns
Please note that when ordering windscreens with vents or
windows, you will automatically receive our standard straightline
configuration unless you specify differently at time of order. If
you prefer a high/low configuration or a different straightline
design or placement, you must inform us when your order is
placed. Call us if you need a copy of these standard designs and
placements or to ask about other configurations.

about har-tru courts

tennis court?
How should
I build
my court?
Har-Tru allows for the player to slide into
the shot, which dramatically reduces
the amount of injury and stress that can
occur in the lower part of the body on a
hard court. The court is also much cooler
during the hot summer months. From a
developmental standpoint, Har-Tru slows
the pace of the ball down as it bounces.
This forces longer rallies, which causes
the player to think through the point
more. The slowness of the game also
makes it more enjoyable for recreational
and senior players because they are able
to get to more balls and play longer into
the day.
Laser technology and its use with grading
equipment have helped modernize the
tennis court building industry. Courts
can now be graded accurately to within
one half of an inch, an 80% improvement
over previous tolerances. Additionally, it
takes only one eighth the time to build
a court. Because of these advances,
most larger and reputable tennis court
contractors either own laser-guided
grading equipment or subcontract the
laser grading out.
Typically, the base of a Har-Tru court
consists of a stable, well-graded, porous,
crushed stone material. There are guide
specifications available for prospective
builders. Some bases, such as cocina
and soft, water-soluble limestones, will
actually recalcify over time and become
impervious to water. These materials
should be avoided. Feel free to send in
potential base samples for us to approve.
Typical construction uses a two-layer
system. The top layer made of the
crushed stone screenings (1/4" to dust)
and a sub-base layer of larger, wellgraded stone (3/4" to dust).
Another option is to build your own
court with help from Har-Tru. Typically,
carpentry tools, a surveyor’s level or laser
level, screed rails and a straight edge,
rakes, shovels and lutes are the key tools
needed to construct your own court.
It isn't very complicated and just takes
some time and planning, and—of course—
hard work.

ABout hydrocourts
the irrigation system How hydrocourt
that helps you train Works
like a champion
Unmatched
Consistency
Training on clay helps mold tennis players
into champions. That’s because clay court
tennis is a learning environment that
forces you to continually broaden, test
and refine your skills to succeed.
When Har-Tru Sports purchased the
rights to HydroCourt in 1990, the
first thing we did was standardize
construction materials and installation
methods. All HydroCourt systems
are installed by company-trained and
company-authorized contractors using
the latest technology—such as laser,
guided grading equipment—to ensure
level, consistent courts.
For more than 25 years, we’ve greatly
refined the HydroCourt sub-surface
irrigation system for Har-Tru courts. Our
concept provides a highly uniform playing
surface with little to no maintenance.
HydroCourt uses a two-layer system,
where the layers are separated by a
geotextile filter fabric. The layer below this
fabric is made of 3/4" or 1/2" clean drain
rock. The layer above acts as a “wicking”
layer and pulls moisture from the clean
stone reservoir below. This top layer is a
stone screening as well (1/4" to dust).
Water introduced underneath the court is
evenly dispersed across the playing surface
through 6 independently controlled cells,
resulting in highly uniform, consistent
playing conditions all day, every day.
It’s a proven system that works from
the deserts of California and the Middle
East to the frozen winters of Canada.
It’s also preferred in rainy climates such
as the Pacific Northwest. HydroCourt is
the choice of the most discerning clients
across the globe, including the All England
Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.
