Har-Tru LLC is excited to share that the company is celebrating 10 years of ClayTech in 2018 by hosting play events around the country. ClayTech is a hybrid clay court that offers all the benefits and playability of clay without all the maintenance. The surface was developed and sold in Europe prior to its introduction to the United States.

​ClayTech is a court system that gets glued to an existing hard surface and infilled with red or green clay. It can be installed and playable in as little as three days. The base is a 1/4” needle-punch textile that never requires rolling, has permanent lines, and needs minimal brushing and watering.

 

“Har-Tru is always looking for ways to create a better place to play,” said Tracy Lynch, Har- Tru’s Director of Sales. “ClayTech does just that. It is an all-weather, easy to care for, clay court that makes the game more fun and more comfortable.”

All-weather is a term typically reserved for hard courts, but the company contends that ClayTech has a greater right to that claim than any surface they have seen. There are now more than 700 ClayTech courts in 21 countries around the world and with more interest in low maintenance options, those numbers are expected to rise.

Har-Tru LLC sold more ClayTech courts last year than any year since the introduction of the surface. According to Lynch, playing is believing: “The court sells itself.”

That, he says, is why the company has decided to put on play events to celebrate the 10-year anniversary. Play events are being scheduled for June and July in Washington, D.C., South Carolina, Missouri and New England.

As dates and locations are finalized they will be posted to the company’s Web site at HarTru.com. All are invited to participate.
