The Inflatable Squash Court

A couple of weeks ago I posted a story about Steven Polli and his outdoor squash court. Well Phillip Romm of Germany has taking it one step further with his Inflatable Squash Court. Romm has created a new mobile solution for squash with the AirSquash Court, a four-wall squash court with inflatable frame and extra layers on the inside wall, which are tensioned and form a flat surface. The AirSquash Court can be placed on any flat and solid surface and fits into every estate car boot. The construction of the court takes less than five minutes and can be handled by two people. A specially designed Softball is used in order to achieve good rebound results off the front and side walls.The AirSquash Court offers an inflatable four-wall frame with around 65% of the original court dimensions - 6 meters length (inside), 4 meters width (inside),3 meters height (front wall),2.20 meters height (back wall) (original height) and three highly tensioned layers on the inside front and side walls. There is no floor integrated, so you make use of the subsurface you put the court on. Gym floors may provide perfect conditions but any surface that is clean and even proves suitable. A constantly blowing air fan supplies the court with the necessary pressure.
