Choosing The Right Tennis Net
sportsequip.co.uk sell the widest range of standard 42ft (12.8m) doubles available in the UK, including types as used at major events such as Wimbledon, The Olympics, the US Open and many other ATP and WTA events.
Headbands
You can choose a headband made from traditional cream 'canvas', white spun polyester or vinyl coated fabric. All 3 types come sewn to a range of nets, manufactured from 2.5mm to 3.5mm twisted or braided netting, with either 2 or 4 rows of stitching - known as double or quad stitched. Quad stitched nets are stronger and typically will last longer, and this type of stitching is found in the majority of tennis nets available from sportsequip.
All our tennis nets are supplied with an integral plastic coated steel headline wire, with a loop one end and a pin the other, for fixing to the most common types of British tennis winder mechanisms. Wires with a loop both ends are also available on request, as are 33ft (10m) singles nets and a made to measure service. Please contact our sales office for further details if required.

Headband Stitching Options
Over time, many tennis nets fail because the stitching holding the net to the headband breaks. In most cases the whole net also looks tired and ready for replacement, however it can be frustrating when the net is otherwise in good condition. This is the time to consider a 'quad stitch' replacement.
Standard double stitching - Two lines of stitching along the length of the headband to hold the net. For domestic and lower use courts Quad stitching - Four lines of stitching. Only 1 line is required to hold the net in place so having a quad stitch net offers maximum life expectancy. Recommended for clubs, schools and all heavily used tennis courts
