Description
Overview
The Avaro Padder Tennis Net 18' spans 5.5 m, making it the longer of the two padder nets in the junior tennis range. Padder tennis is a scaled-down version of the game played with short bats and slower balls, and this net is listed as designed for school use. Avaro is our NZ-designed house brand.
This listing covers the net. For posts and full-size options browse tennis posts & nets, or choose the shorter Padder Tennis Net 12' for a narrower court.
Key benefits
- Matches a reduced court for modified tennis, with a 5.5 m span instead of a full net.
- Easy to carry out to the court and pack away, at about 0.5 kg.
- Slots into a padder programme alongside padder bats and low compression tennis balls.
- Two spans in the range, so the net length suits the court markings you already have.
Who it's for
Primary and intermediate PE teachers introducing tennis on a smaller court, and clubs running junior sessions. Choose this net when your court needs the 5.5 m span; the 12' net suits the narrowest mini-courts. It sits in our all junior sports range with other modified-game gear.
Sizing guide
Our tennis net height guide measures at the centre of the net: 1.07 m posts give a 91 cm centre height. The listing does not state this net's depth, so check it against the posts you use.
Care, safety and set-up
Store the net dry between lessons. For several nets across a school, add them to a quote and request a quote; quantity pricing applies on many lines and funding packages are available for schools and clubs.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a full-size tennis net?
No. It is a padder tennis net with a 5.5 m span for junior and modified tennis, not a replacement for a standard court net.
How does it differ from the 12' padder net?
Only in length. This 18' net covers a 5.5 m span; the 12' version is shorter for tighter mini-courts. Both sit in the same Avaro range.
