From Mud to Sand

One of the newest recreation additions to Tejas is a second sand volleyball court. Our desire for this new court was to keep the sand in and the water out, and although we started with a small pond we worked our way to a very nice court. After excavating about 1 to 2 feet into the ground we dug a small trench to allow for drainage. Once the weather cooperated and things dried up, a drainage pipe was laid and then quite a bit of gravel was put down. Once the gravel was in place, a barrier was put on top to keep the sand from sifting through the gravel. Then the sand was added and the net was hung. The only thing left to finish up this court is a bit of grass and a few competitive players.
