# Courta
> Courta is an Australian retailer of DIY interlocking sports court tiles for residential backyards, driveways, and outdoor spaces. Courta sells polypropylene court tiles designed for basketball and netball, available in three performance tiers. All tiles are made-to-order and shipped across Australia. Courta is based in Melbourne, Victoria.
## About Courta
Courta was founded to make high-quality backyard sports courts accessible to Australian families. The product is sold directly to homeowners — no tradies, no permanent construction. Tiles interlock without tools or adhesive and can be installed by one person in a few hours on any flat, solid base such as concrete or pavers. Courts can be disassembled and relocated if families move house.
Courta tiles are polypropylene interlocking sports tiles suitable for basketball and netball. Each tile features an open-grid or nine-grid underside design that allows water to drain through, preventing puddles. All tiles are UV-stabilised to resist fading in Australian conditions and include anti-slip surface texture. Optional factory line-marking is available for basketball, netball, or dual-sport (basketball and netball combined) layouts at no extra cost. Logo marking is also available.
Tiles are made-to-order with a current lead time of 6–8 weeks from order confirmation. Free shipping is available across Victoria. Interstate delivery is available — customers should contact Courta for a freight quote.

The Courta Select is the most popular tile in the range and the recommended choice for netball.

The surface includes anti-slip texture and has been tested to withstand temperatures above 70°C. The Select is significantly quieter than bare concrete due to its suspended grid and rubber cushioning, which absorbs ball-bounce sound. It delivers consistent ball bounce for both basketball and netball.

The Courta Pro is the premium tier.

The reinforced 11mm locking system provides greater tile stability under intense or directional play. The extremely low thermal expansion rate (as low as 3%) means tiles resist bulging, lifting, and warping through hot Australian summers. BASF colour pigments help maintain colour consistency over time.

**Recommended buffer zones:** 0.5m–1m each side for casual backyard play; 1m–2m for competitive or active play; minimum 1m near fences or walls.
**Base requirements:** Tiles work best on concrete or pavers. A well-prepared compacted base can also work. Grass or uneven ground is not suitable.
**Ordering tip:** Courta recommends ordering 5–10% extra tiles to allow for edge cuts and future replacements.
Basketball and netball courts overlap well. A 10m × 15m slab can accommodate both sports with shared goal circles and key markings.
