These guidelines and photos below are designed to prevent net wear and tear and net post-breakage.

The net posts have broken at their weld joints from time to time which can be caused by over-tensioning the nets or leaning on the nets. This is problematic with the amount of tennis the club plays and requires immediate action for repair. 

When play is completed, the nets must be lowered to relieve the tension on the net posts. This is easily achieved by winding the net winder handle by one turn to lower the net.

If the nets are lowered to where they touch the court the bottom of the needs will wear due to movement with the wind.

Nets cost $260.00 each to replace, which is not cheap.

With courts 3 and 4 if you lower the nets too far i: e, nets laying on the ground the net wire will completely come out from the post and will require someone from the club to reinstall.

We all want to enjoy the use of the courts. If you could please follow a few simple guidelines, we can minimise the damage to our equipment.
