The line breaks months after installation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes, a line may break several months after it has been installed. At this point, it\u2019s already well secured into the ground.<br>\u27a1\ufe0f In this case, it\u2019s better to leave it as is until the next scheduled court renovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2705 Why<strong>:<\/strong><br>A line that\u2019s already embedded in the surface won\u2019t move and won\u2019t affect gameplay, even if it may look damaged. Trying to replace it now would require significant work and might compromise the quality of the court.<br>\ud83d\udc49 We recommend waiting for the seasonal court maintenance, which is the ideal time to replace the lines completely and safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. The line breaks during installation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the most critical case: while tensioning the lines during installation<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u27a1\ufe0f In this situation, you can\u2019t proceed as usual \u2014 pulling a broken line would likely cause further damage, and it won\u2019t stay straight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2705 <strong>Recommended solution:<\/strong><br>Use a wide and sturdy plastic zip tie.<br>\u2022 Insert it through the slots on both sides of the break.<br>\u2022 Tighten it well, keeping the excess part of the tie pointing downward (so it\u2019s not visible and doesn\u2019t interfere with play).<br>\u2022 Trim the excess.<br>Now you can stretch the line as usual, and it will stay tight, straight, and stable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\ud83d\udccc Missed our guide on preventing line damage?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ve also published a dedicated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenetiks.it\/en\/when-replace-lines-tennis-court\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3629\">guide <\/a>on <strong>how to prevent damage to tennis court lines<\/strong>, with tips on proper installation and maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\ud83d\udee0 Useful tools<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Wide and sturdy plastic zip tie<br>\u2022 Utility knife or scissors<br>\u2022 A bit of patience and attention to detail<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more helpful tips on tennis court maintenance, follow our channels or get in touch with us \u2014 we\u2019re always happy to share simple and effective solutions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tennis court lines without nails can get damaged over time or during installation.
