Beach sports

When setting up a beach court, it is important to determine in advance which sports will be played. A beach volleyball court requires different poles and nets than a beach soccer or beach handball court. When the court is used multifunctionally, flexibility is especially important.

W&H supplies materials for various beach sports and helps think through the right layout. In doing so, we look at sport type, field dimensions, anchoring, safety, edging, sand retention and maintenance.

Beach volleyball is one of the best-known beach sports and is played at recreational, club and competition level. For a good beach volleyball setup, sturdy poles, a suitable net and safe anchoring in the sand are important.

We supply beach volleyball materials for sports clubs, schools, municipalities, recreation areas and temporary beach locations. Depending on the use, a choice can be made between fixed or mobile solutions.

Beach soccer requires robust goals and materials that are suitable for use in sand. Because the game is fast and intensive, goals must stand firmly and be safe to use. The right field marking and edging are also important for a clear playing field.

We supply materials for beach soccer on permanent and temporary beach courts. In doing so, multifunctional use can also be considered, so that the field can easily be converted to another beach sport.

Beach badminton and beach tennis are suitable sports for recreational beach courts, campsites, sports parks, schools and events. They require relatively little equipment, but they do require a stable net setup and clear field marking.

Because these sports can be combined well with other beach sports, they are interesting for multifunctional locations. W&H helps think through nets, poles, anchoring and the practical layout of the court.

A multifunctional beach court makes it possible to play multiple beach sports on one sand field. Think of beach volleyball, beach soccer, beach handball, beach korfball, beach badminton and beach tennis. This makes the court more attractive to different users and increases the utility value of the location.

We supply mobile ground sleeves with which poles and goals can be firmly anchored, but can also be easily removed. This allows the field to be quickly adapted to the desired sport.

Good edging helps to keep the beach court neat and functional. Retaining bands and edging elements ensure that the sand stays within the court better and that the transition to surrounding paths, green strips or sports facilities is neatly finished.

We supply edging elements and retaining bands for beach courts. Depending on the location, the right version, height and connection to the surroundings can be considered.

A cover can help protect the beach court when it is temporarily not in use. Think of protection against dirt, leaves or unwanted use. Covering can also help make management of the sand easier.

For sports clubs, schools and recreation areas, a cover can contribute to a tidier and more manageable beach court.

For beach courts, it is important to take sand retention and maintenance into account. Wind, intensive use and weather conditions can cause sand to shift or become contaminated. Good edging, smart placement and regular maintenance help keep the court in good condition.

We help think through practical measures to keep the beach court clear, clean and easy to use.

Many beach sports materials within the supply programme fall under the quality concept Scoring with Quality. Within this concept, we offer an 8-year warranty on welded parts of aluminium constructions.

Beach sports materials are often outdoors and exposed to sand, wind, moisture and intensive use. That is why robust materials, good finishing and reliable constructions are important for long-term use.

Beach materials can be safely anchored with special ground sleeves or anchoring solutions for sandy surfaces. W&H supplies mobile ground sleeves with which poles and goals can be placed firmly, but can also be easily removed when the court is used for another sport.

Yes, that is possible. For multifunctional beach courts, W&H has developed mobile ground sleeves. These allow poles and goals to be firmly anchored and easily removed after use. This allows the same beach court to be used for, for example, beach volleyball, beach soccer, beach handball, beach korfball, beach badminton and beach tennis.

We supply various edging elements and retaining bands for beach courts. These provide a neat finish to the sand field and help keep the sand within the court better. The right version depends on the location, the use and the connection to the surroundings.

Multifunctional posts can be used for various beach sports, depending on the chosen version. Think of beach volleyball, beach badminton, beach tennis and other net sports on sand. By using mobile ground sockets, the posts can be placed and removed flexibly.

When constructing a beach court, account should be taken of the location, dimensions, sand quality, drainage, edging, anchoring of materials, accessibility and maintenance. It is also important to determine in advance which sports will be played on the court and whether multifunctional use is desired.

A beach court remains most usable through regular maintenance. Think of levelling the sand, removing dirt, checking the edging and inspecting posts, goals and nets. With intensive use or a lot of wind, extra attention may be needed to keep the sand well distributed and clean.
