The Nottingham Tennis Centre in one of the foremost complexes of its kind in the UK. In order to meet playing demand the centre undertook a project to increase the facility with the addition of eight further grass courts, thus requiring significant new chain-link and other fencing items. The criteria for the new courts were that the fence coating should be durable, have excellent adhesion and have aesthetic appeal in terms of gloss and colour. Plascoat PPA 571 is a high performance costing powder that provides very long lasting, tough vandal resistant finish that met the criteria of the LTA. The coating is suitable for all manner of external applications on steel and aluminium without the need of a primer. Not only is the coating highly durable – offering a high level of resistance to UV rays, weather, contaminants, chipping and vandal attack – but its high level of flexibility (800% elongation to break) has identified it as an emerging wire fencing industry standard. The PPA 571 coating has been described as "one of the most pleasing aspects of the extension project". Plascoat PPA 571, a polyolefin elastomer meets the requirements of the ASTM (American Society for the Testing of Materials) for both fencing mesh (F668) and framework (F1063).
