Blackbrook Tennis Centre, Taunton
The Blackbrook Tennis Centre in Taunton, Somerset had a requirement for further indoor courts and J&J Carter were responsible for the design and build of two indoor tennis facilities covering 1,258 sq m (13, 540 sq ft).
The site was very tight, requiring millimeter accuracy when installing the steel frame to comply with LTA (Lawn Tennis Association) regulations. To the west end of the structure is a protected conservation area so access to the end gable had to be from long reach access booms or rope access from the roof of the structure.
The structure is a steel portal frame with a Modular Thermal Roof System and newly developed sustainable side walling system.
