Tennis Nets

How to Choose a Wilson Tennis Net


The type of net you choose depends on frequency of use, the length of your playing season and the type of court surface. Courts with heavy usage and/or long playing seasons need a net that will last and look good continuously.
+
 The best nets are made of braided net cord and typically have double the mesh at the top 6 rows, side pockets for fiberglass dowels (that help hold the net taut) and vinyl-coated steel cables.
+ Braided nets are better than twisted because they're stronger and absorb more energy. When a ball hits the net it drops closer to the net instead of rebounding off it.
+
Polyethylene and polyester make good net materials because they are resistant to fading from UV radiation and weather well.

The type of court surface as well as personal preference dictates which headband is appropriate. Headbands are usually vinyl or polyester duck, often with double layers and 4 rows of lock stitching to hold the layers together.
+
 Nets with polyester duck headbands are better for hard courts than for soft courts, where surface material can easily stick to and stain the fabric.
+ Vinyl headbands are more common on soft courts because they're easier to clean and more dirt resistant. However, balls can tend to skid wildly off vinyl headbands, which is less likely with a duck headband because the duck material absorbs the ball's energy and doesn't speed up the ball.

Wilson Nets Feature Superior Aesthetics & Durability

We believe our Wilson Tennis Nets are by far the best nets available because we provide superior  quality, backed with far better service.  In fact, our customers feel proud installing the best nets  available on all their courts.  If tennis courts are to be used regularly and be player-friendly, they must look tidy, clean and well maintained. The cost of the best net is small compared with the cost of losing players due to poor court appearance.  So be a hero to your players by representing and promoting quality.
+
 Net body of braided solid-core (stronger than non-core yarn) black polypropylene, 41'-6"long, with UV-resistant treatment and heat-set knots to keep its shape.  Mesh size of 1-23/32" assures that balls cannot go through the net, even under Top 10 Men's play.
+ Headband lock-stitched with four rows of white polyester thread. We use the heaviest thread any double needle sewing machine can sew, and our thread has the most abrasion-resistant thread with the greatest tensile strength of any headband thread used in the industry.  Lock-stitching results in the thread being less likely to unravel if cut. Bottom edges are turned under to provide a smooth finish on all Pro Model nets.
+  3" wide side bands, 1-3/4" wide bottom bands of 18 oz. non-glare vinyl lock-stitched with two rows of black polyester thread. Sidebands are turned under all Pro model nets. Bottom bands are turned under on all Pro models except the Super Heavy and the 4 Super Deluxe Pro models.  All Tidyfit models except the Tidyfit Super Deluxe Pro have 2-1/2" wide bottom bands.
+
 47' long net cable with Flexi-Loop: 3/16" cable coated to 1/4" with 3600 lb. breaking strength comes standard on all Pro nets except the 4 Super Deluxe Pro models, which (along with Value models 3745W, 239AW, 229AW and 225W) come with 5/32" cable coated to 1/4" with 2600 lb. breaking strength.
+ Side pockets with 5/8" fiberglass dowels on all Pro nets except the 4 Super Deluxe Pro models, which (along with Value models 3745W, 239AW and 225W) come with 1/2" fiberglass dowels.
