PVC Tennis Net

Others

A PVC tennis net. The regulation figures are what matter: 1.07 m at the posts, 0.914 m at the centre held down by a strap, and a mesh small enough that a ball cannot pass through. A recreational-grade net - and UV is what will eventually finish it here, not use.

Highlights

The numbers that matter

1.07 m at the posts, 0.914 m at the centre.

Regulation heights

1.07 m at the posts, 0.914 m at the centre. The centre strap is what creates that dip, and it is not optional.

Recreational grade

A PVC net is a portable and club-practice net, not a competition-grade one. We say so.

UV is the enemy here

Not use. Take it down or cover it when you are not playing and it will last years longer.

Product description

About this product

A PVC tennis net for recreational and club practice use.

The specification that matters on any tennis net is dictated by the Rules of Tennis rather than by the manufacturer. The net must be 1.07 m high at the posts and 0.914 m at the centre, held down by a centre strap – that dip is deliberate and it is part of the game. The mesh must be small enough that a ball cannot pass through it, the top carries a white headband 5 to 6.35 cm deep when doubled, and the cable supporting it must be no more than 0.8 cm in diameter. On a doubles court the posts sit 0.914 m outside each doubles sideline.

The centre strap is the part people leave off, and it should not be. Without it the net sags irregularly in the middle and the effective height changes across the court, which changes the game.

We are describing this as a recreational-grade net, which is what a PVC net is. A club competition net is heavier, with a deeper double headband and thicker twine. That is an honest expectation to set rather than a criticism.

The one care note that matters here: UV, not use, is what finishes a net in this climate. Sustained tropical sun breaks down the coating and then the twine, and a net left up year-round will go brittle far sooner than the same net in a temperate country. Take it down between sessions, or cover it.

Mesh size, twine thickness and headband depth are not documented for this net – ask us and we will measure the stock.

Questions

Good to know

What are the regulation net heights?

1.07 m at the posts and 0.914 m at the centre, with a centre strap holding the middle down. That dip is part of the game rather than sag - a net without a centre strap plays differently across the court.

Is this a competition net?

No, and we would rather say so. A PVC net is recreational and club-practice grade. A competition net is heavier, with thicker twine and a deeper double headband. Set expectations accordingly.

How long will it last here?

That depends almost entirely on sun exposure rather than play. Sustained tropical UV breaks down the coating and then the twine. A net taken down or covered between sessions lasts years longer than one left up permanently.

What is the centre strap for?

To hold the middle of the net down to 0.914 m. Without it the net sags unevenly and the effective height varies across the court. It is not optional equipment.

Does it come with posts?

Nets and posts are normally separate. Tell us what you already have and we will confirm what else you need before you order.

How do I tension it?

Tight enough that the top is straight between the posts with no scallop, then set the centre strap to 0.914 m with a tape. Over-tensioning stretches the cable and the headband; under-tensioning gives you a low net across the middle.

How does the climate here affect equipment?

Heat is hard on strings - polyester loses tension fastest of all string types and heat accelerates it sharply, so expect to restring more often than a European schedule suggests. Never leave a racket in a car boot. Humidity is hard on grips and on natural gut, which absorbs moisture and softens. And pressurised balls go dead faster in heat, opened or not.

Do you deliver in Dar es Salaam?

Yes. We deliver across Dar es Salaam and send nationwide to Arusha, Moshi, Mwanza, Dodoma, Zanzibar and beyond by courier. Call or WhatsApp us if you need a same-day drop in the city.
