Description
Overview
Where a three-quarter drop school net leaves a gap below the netting, the Tennis Net Full Drop 42' hangs the full height, which is what a tournament net is expected to do. It is listed at 12.8 m (42 ft) long and 1.06 m high, giving the extra length needed to reach posts set outside the doubles sidelines.
This is the net to specify when your club runs fixtures or your school hosts interschool tennis and wants the court to present as a competition court. Sleeves and other court fittings are in the tennis posts & nets category, including the Tennis Net Post – Ground Sleeve (Each) if you are installing new posts.

- Closes the court fully with full-drop netting from headband to surface.

Who it's for
Tennis clubs, secondary schools with competition courts and councils maintaining public courts are the main buyers. Choose it when the court will be used for graded matches, tournaments or interschool events where a full-drop net is expected.
For a PE practice court where a lighter net will do, a three-quarter drop school net from the same range is the more economical fit.
Sizing guide
Net height is taken at the centre of the net. The height guide in the record pairs 1.07 m posts with a 91 cm net height at the centre. This net is listed at 1.06 m high, so set your centre strap to bring the middle of the net down to the height your competition requires.
Care, safety and set-up
Hang the net between posts, tension the top evenly and fit a centre strap to hold the middle at the correct height. Posts, sleeves and straps are sold separately. Orders generally dispatch the same or next business day, and clubs fitting out several courts can request a quote.
Frequently asked questions

The listing is for the net only. Posts, ground sleeves and fittings are available separately in the tennis posts & nets category.
