The foundation carries more than the court – it determines longevity, safety, and maintenance costs. What developers need to know technically.
Key takeaways
- Levelness critical for glass & posts

- Installation with acceptance recommended
Technical requirements
Load-bearing, level ground with defined levelness. Outdoor: drainage and frost protection. Indoor: floor slab and hall structural analysis if needed.
