Now realise I should have been more specific, the intention is to have a high fence to help stop the balls going into the neighbouring fields, so anyone had any experience with this?
Did it, more than once.
Went camping, once.
I subscribe to the âYou canât say you donât like it until youâve tried itâ principle!
Chacun à son goût 
Or get another couple of dogs and train them to retrieve the balls? Iâd stay if that were a feature of the gite!
A friend of mine has a high wire netting fence around her court, it looks hideous but I suppose it stops about 80% of the balls going into the ulu.
She had flatcoat retrievers who did that 
sweethearts.

Vero, I had a Flatcoat many years ago and I had her trained for picking up, first time I went shooting with her and fired a shot she took off and ran home and hid under the bed (was only in the fields behind our house). This was 35 years ago and I thought at the time âthat was ÂŁ600 well spentâ long and the short of it was she turned out to be a brilliant dog in any weather in rough or driven shooting, but once a terrier lover always a terrier lover.

Do you have an idea of what a tennis court costs to build?
Incest? Morris Dancing? Heroin? It sounds as if you may have some interesting experiences to share⊠

Not long back from aquagym (last of the year 
), followed by some tennis (pool and courts next to each other), apero and a BBQ at our clubhouse. Wonderful

I have no idea at all of the cost.
We had a derelict tennis court when we moved in, we ploughed it up for a veg patch.
You donât need planning permission by the way, just a declaration en Mairie.
Thank you Vero
