Description
Overview
The School Tennis Net from the Avaro range is a 12.2 m (40 ft) long net with a three-quarter drop, meaning the netting does not run all the way to the court surface as a full-drop tournament net does. For a school court this is a practical choice: there is less netting to trail on the ground, snag under feet or collect debris, while the net still does its job of stopping balls at the height that matters.
It is made from single mesh on a 3 mm synthetic cord and is described as a heavy duty club or school model. The identical construction is also sold as the Club Tennis Net – 12.2m, so check the net type your court committee has specified before ordering. For posts, sleeves and other nets, see the tennis posts & nets category.

Who it's for
This net is for schools and clubs replacing a worn net on an existing court, or fitting out a new practice court where a three-quarter drop is acceptable. It is the sensible pick for PE programmes, intermediate and secondary school courts, and club practice courts where the net is up all season and needs to cope with balls, rackets and students leaning on it.
If your club plays competition fixtures and the rules for your grade call for a full-drop net, look at the full-drop tournament nets in the same category instead. If you simply want the club-labelled version of this construction, the Club Tennis Net – 12.2m is the same specification.
Sizing guide
Net height is measured at the centre of the net. The tennis net height guide in the record pairs a post height of 1.07 m with a net height at the centre of 91 cm. This net has a listed height of 1.01 m, so allow for the usual centre dip when tensioning the top of the net between posts.
Care, safety and set-up
The net is supplied as a net only; posts, centre straps and fittings are sold separately in the tennis posts & nets category. Tension the net so the centre sits at the height your court requires, and check the tension after the first few sessions as new cord settles.
Take the net down or slacken it if the court is out of use for long periods to extend its life. Orders generally dispatch the same or next business day, and schools can add the net to a quote alongside posts for a court fit-out.
Frequently asked questions
What does three-quarter drop mean?
The netting hangs part of the way down from the headband rather than reaching the court surface. It is lighter and less prone to dragging than a full-drop net, which is why it is offered as a school and club practice model.
Is this a tournament net?
No. It is listed as a school net for club or school use. Clubs that need a full-drop tournament net should choose one of the full-drop options in the same range.
How does this differ from the Club Tennis Net?
The record shows an identical description for the Club Tennis Net – 12.2m: 12.2 m long, three-quarter drop, single mesh, 3 mm synthetic cord. Choose whichever label matches your order or specification.
Can a school get a quote for nets and posts together?
Yes. Add the net and any posts or sleeves to a quote and request a quote; the customer-service team and reps help schools and clubs put together court fit-outs, and funding packages are available.
