It survived a tornado, blocks 96 percent of the sun?s harmful rays, and provides a flexible building structure to meet a variety of municipal subdivision location specifications. Universal Fabric Structure?s versatile Sporthall is just what the doctor ordered for growing Winning Touch Tennis?^? new facility in Allentown, PA.

After the success of their first Winning Touch Tennis^? installation in Princeton, co-owners Bill Kurtain and Steve Dansky included Universal Fabric Structures on the bid list to provide their new facility in Allentown . Universal Fabric Structures of Quakertown, PA builds customized fabric structures to meet commercial, industrial, military and recreational applications.

Not only were they thrilled with the indoor playing environment Sporthall provides, Sporthall also proved to offer functional stability above and beyond normal use as evidenced when their Princeton facility held up against a tornado last September that touched down nearby. While several trees were yanked up and dumped on the ground next to Winning Touch Tennis^?, the structure stood firm.

Modeled after their successful indoor tennis complex in Princeton, Winning Touch Tennis^? in Allentown offers Lehigh Valley tennis enthusiasts of all levels state-of-the-art play on their four indoor and two outdoor courts. The Allentown Sporthall is one of several planned Winning Touch Tennis? indoor tennis facilities in the offing for co-owners Kurtain and Dansky.? ?We are pleased with the responsiveness and level of service Universal Fabric Structures has demonstrated to meet the needs of our growing business and we will include them on the bid list for future projects? said Bill Kurtain of Winning Touch Tennis^?.

The Allentown Winning Touch Tennis? structure is a high-tech, player friendly tennis court facility with state-of-the-art indoor lighting and acrylic layered court surface, featuring a cheerful, bright environment.

In addition to the specialized court surface, the courts are colored the same blue and green used by the U.S. Open.
