ABSTRACT:
The deck of a paddle tennis court includes a plurality of extruded aluminum members each having a horizontal playing surface and a pair of base legs each having a foot section with an outwardly facing wedge-shaped edge. The upper deck section is attached to the I beam superstructure underneath by a plurality of clamps. A double clamp is employed from above to bridge the foot portions of the upper deck sections. The double clamps are connected by a threaded bolt and nut combination to single clamps which are attachable to the wedge-shaped edges of the transverse underlying I beams. The construction of the double clamps is such that the upper deck sections are separated from each other by a predetermined gap suffficient to allow acces to the space between the deck plates. Each court also includes a spring-loaded sidewall and a diagonal external support which is connected to one of the extended underlying I beams. The structure described is relatively inexpensive to manufacture, simple to erect and easy to maintain.
