For more than 40 years, we at Har-Tru Sports have built our reputation on quality products, technical

expertise and personal service. This reputation is maintained through our constant dedication to the development of innovative new products and the improvement of currently manufactured products.

This catalog is one of the many tools to introduce you to labor saving equipment, as well as, accessories that dress up your court. Many of the items have evolved through our customer’s suggestions and ideas. We are

constantly open to new ideas and innovations that can make your court more enjoyable and easier to care for.

As the season draws near for many clubs, now is the perfect time to take inventory of your court accessory needs. We know your budgets are tight and have to be managed carefully. You may want to consider what replacement parts you need or what you have on your “wish list”. Take the time to consider what you can purchase before the end of the year.

Making the most of your Tennis budget

We all know that maintaining a Har-Tru court requires a commitment to daily, annual, and

periodic, maintenance. The first step in properly caring for your courts, is making sure that you have the proper tools that are required to do so. Having spent over five years as the Director of Maintenance at Farmington Country Club. I quickly learned that spring time was not the ideal time to replace or buy new maintenance equipment. The reason I say this is because in the spring you are busy trying to get your courts open for play and the last thing you need is to slow down that process while waiting for a piece of equipment.

I always make it a habit to tell attendees at our maintenance seminars that you must take advantage of your downtime. As the courts start to slow down in late fall and your hectic maintenance regimen eases up, this is a great time to inspect and replace all of

your old equipment. I made it a habit to replace my lute blades, replace worn and uneven drag brush bristles, and have rollers serviced, every fall so when spring time rolled around I was ready to go. Another upside to replacing and buying new equipment in the fall is that your yearly budget is coming to an end. With saying that, it’s my experience that if I didn’t use what was left, then it didn’t carry over to the following year. In late summer, I would inspect my courts to see if I had any nets that needed to be replaced, windscreens that were in need of replacing, and any other accessory that was time to be replaced. I would order this in the fall as I would potentially avoid a price increase, have it already to go in the spring, and use up any additional budget money.

BEAUTIFY YOUR COURT

Other than daily maintenance of rolling

and brushing your tennis court you

should always keep your equipment

in good working order. Always make sure your

drag brooms and line sweepers have adequate

bristles and that your roller is in proper

condition. It’s always a good idea to maintain

nets and windscreens to keep your tennis courts

looking nice. Additional things you can do to

improve the look of your courts is painting

your nets posts and benches if necessary. If your

budget allows, we do have several items that will

improve the look of your court.

REDUCE THE EFFECTS OF DROUGHT

With quite a number of states currently

under watering restrictions of some

type, it is past time to take a hard look

at how you are watering your Har-Tru courts.

Here are a few ways to help if these drought

conditions continue…

1 Reduce brushing your courts to a

minimum.

Most clubs will use an “Aussie Clean Sweep” to groom

their surface after the day’s play during a drought. If

you have never tried an Aussie, you will be amazed at

how well it actually works. Many clubs have switched

from drag brushes to the Aussie all together.

2 Use more Magnesium or Calcium

Chloride.

Both act as a moisture holding agent. A periodic

application of either MAG or Calcium will actually

absorb moisture out of the humid

summer air and hold it in your Har-

Tru court’s surface, thus reducing

the amount of water needed to

irrigate your courts.

AUSSIE CLEAN SWEEPAUS8 - 8’ ModelAUS4 - 4’ Model

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.

3 Convert your sprinkled Har-Tru Courts to

HydroCourts (pictured at left)

HydroCourt is the premier sub-surface irrigation system on

the market today and has been installed under nearly 2000

Har-Tru courts. By installing a HydroCourt, you can save over

50% of the water used by a typical conventional sprinkler sys-

tem. Contact us for more information on how a HydroCourt

actuallystartpayingforitselfinaslittleas3years.

There is no doubt that by utilizing one or more of these time-

tested options, you will improve the playability of your Har-

Tru courts and may significantly reduce the amount of water

needed to properly maintain them.

ARE YOU READY FOR THE RULE CHANGE?

The rules have changed! Kid sized racquets, low bounce balls and smaller courts.

Starting in 2012 all USTA sanctioned 10 & under tournaments will be required

to implement the modified rules.

With the ever increasing popularity in 10 & under tennis and the even larger push by the

USTA, we at Har-Tru are pleased to introduce the first permanent and temporary lines

for use on Har-Tru courts. With quick and easy installation we are hoping that more

and more facilities will introduce the 10U demographic to playing on Har-Tru. A set of

temporary lines can be installed in under 5 minutes by a single person. You can see for

yourself by going to www.hartur.com and watching our youtube video.

36’&60’PermanentLines–TAPQS60GPThe 60’ lines are made from our Herringbone tape but are colored green. These are designed for courts that are regularly used for both full size and 60’ play. The green color helps the 60’ layout blend into the court when the regulation size court is in use. These lines are nailed into the court surface similar to standard court lines.

HAR-TRU GATOR RAKES

The Har-Tru Gator Rake is one of the finest grooming and leveling tools we have ever offered. It can be pulled behind a motorized

vehicle such as a cart or tractor or it can be used as a hand tool.

The Har-Tru Gator Rake tine system lightly sweeps and grooms the surface of the court spreading the clay evenly. The rake helps prevent the buildup of clay and keeps moisture at an optimal level. These rakes are the perfect tool for indoor courts and HydroCourts. The tines are more aggressive than the steel bristle brooms.

The product is all aluminum and stainless steel. The tine system is composed of stainless steel rods that finely groom the court. All of the Har-Tru Gator Rakes come with adjustable tine cartridges that move in half

inch increments. They can be easily adjusted as the tines wear. The rake tine cartridges can be replaced easily and are user friendly.

The Har-Tru Gator Rake is made so that additional weight can be added to the top of the rake. Up to 150 pounds can be added for scarifying hard areas of the court, regenerating loose sliding material. Special weight towers (must be purchased separately) can be added for this purpose.

Our Har-Tru Gator Rake line features two very useful hand tools. The72”widetoolcanbeusedforleveling and grooming the court. This tool is perfect for the tennis player to use between matches.


10

Tow Model Gator Rake – SCR12TO

The 24” wide tool can be used for agitating the surface material along the edge of the court. These different size rakes are very useful in grooming the court.

The Cart-side rake is another time saving member of the Har-Tru Gator Rake Family. This rake will allow you to groom the edges of the court without leaving your cart. When activated, the spring loaded system extends the rake from the side of

the cart allowing you to groom right to the fence line. The cart-side rake will help keep the edges of your court agitated and will help prevent any growth of weeds, moss or algae.

All of the Har-Tru Gator Rakes are very easy to use. Each rake has its own grooming method. They will save you time and energy.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL

My customers know I am not a fan of Har-Tru court rakes but I have to say the cart-side rake and the 24” court rake by Gator-Rake are good Har-Tru court tools especially the 24” model. I would have to put the 24” Gator rake in my top 5 tools that have come out for Har-Tru courts in the last 20 years.

We like the 24” model so much that it has replacedtheoldstandard30”lute/scarifieras our edge work tool on our trucks. The 24” gator rake is more aggressive than the lute with the benefit of leaving a better groomed edge and net line. The 24” gator rake costs more than twice as much as the lute/scarifier but I believe it does twice the work in the same amount of time and one set of replaceable tines will last much longer than 2 lute blades. So you may spend more up front but you get a better return on your purchase. With the addition of a 24” rake your aluminum lute blades will last significantly longer applying new Har-Tru as they were designed to do.

I believe with the 24” gator rake if used consistently on your Har-Tru, especially sub-irrigated Har-Tru courts, will cut down on the use of corrosive algae control chemicals, another one of my least favorite court “tools”, which will extend the life of the fence and light posts.

Here at Ritzman Tennis Courts, we will be using the Gator Rake 24” until Har-Tru Sports develops an algae resistant Har-Tru material.
