HOW TO SELECT THE RIGHT WINDSCREEN

Windscreens are a functional and aesthetic addition to your tennis courts. They provide a dark backdrop against which players can see and react to ball movement better. They serve to break up gusting winds and allow consistent, even air flow. Windscreens minimize annoying distractions from nearby swimming pools, parking lots, highways, and players on adjacent courts. They give courts a professional appearance and increase playing pleasure by providing a consistent background and color.

With today's various windscreen materials, the decision regarding which one to use should be based primarily on budget and aesthetic considerations rather than on wind reduction because all windscreens work well to break up gusting winds. The basic question that needs to be answered is, within a given budget, how dense a windscreen can be installed without risking fence damage from strong winds. Nine-foot windscreens are recommended for nearly all courts and should have anti-billow tabs as well as 6" x 12" openings placed 5' to 10' apart. Six-foot windscreens generally do not look as attractive as nor reduce wind as well as 9' windscreens and should only be used if the facilities are located near the water with very strong winds, which would destroy fences with 9' windscreens attached.

Wilson Windscreens Offer a Wide Variety of Choices:

  • If aesthetics are the primary consideration, choose either the Royale-Screen, made of vinyl-coated polyester, or the 9'-high Pro Screen. They both look great on the court and add to your playing pleasure. The Pro Screen offers a particularly attractive and distinctive look with its 5' high vinyl center (for maximum ball visibility and wind control) and 2' high PVC top and bottom (for optimal airflow)
  • In the mid-range is the PVC windscreen, which offers high mildew- and sun-resistance at an excellent price
  • If the budget is the primary consideration, then the Poly-propylene windscreens are an excellent choice for controlling wind while providing consistent airflow
  • For the smallest of budgets, the Mastershade Plus provides the best value
