i'll be damned - never knew that,,, all the ones we built OR played on were either blacktop tennis court mix w/acrylic coatings OR clay where in no PA ?

i don't know of any conc courts because there would have to be joints OR the conc will crk on its own,,, the ball landing on a crk/jnt would deflect the intended ball path & both players would get angry :mad: tennis players are the most anal athletes i ever met as everything's got to be perfect...

much of our work is condo servicing so we do this often using hydrophyllic/hydrophobic polyurethanes,,, for a diy'er, i'd recommend emecole [ NO $ interest ] they have a diy kit that'll include bang ports & material,,, you need to 'butter' & flush out the crk w/water 1st,,, drill your portholes...

IF you do repair the honeycombed area ( probably from lack of vibration/poor consolidation when the conc was placed ), make the repairs ALL the way - in other words, peel back some sod so the patch, when finished, will appear to be solid :D the d/w crk is probably due to improper jointing...

paved lots of hgwy & airport conc but never understood wire mesh was good other than: 1, adding strength while the ' green ' conc was in tension ( initial set / cure ) & 2, holding the broken pieces together when it cracked :D all the engineer's w/whom i worked thought the same however we got...

' elephant snot ' OR ' beanee-doo ' by franmar - & stay OUT of the apron/vest stores - all they're got is 6mm plastic, chip brushes, & cheap paint

1. yes but they're now called ' construction joints '; 2. in a bsmt, nothing; 3. you can do anything you want 'cause its YOUR bsmt :) but why the need for self-leveling overlay if the work's been done correctly ? self-leveling conc is very tricky stuff to do properly !

also a good suggestion however if discoloration would be an issue for you, there isn't, to my knowledge, a good uv-resistant epoxy
