Net Winches, Cables & Tensioners

Net Winches, Cables & Tensioners for Volleyball, Tennis & Pickleball Systems

This collection is built for facility managers, schools, and club operators who need to repair or upgrade net tensioning hardware rather than replace an entire upright. With 33 active items spanning Jaypro, Douglas, First Team, and Gared, the price range runs from inexpensive parts like tape and top caps up to $1,470 for a complete worm-gear driven winch. Most shoppers arrive knowing the sport (volleyball, tennis, pickleball, or backstop/batting cage) and the upright diameter or cable length they need to match, so browse by brand and by the size callouts in each title.

Volleyball Net Winches, Reels & Storage

For volleyball courts, the lineup includes the First Team FT8100W Worm Gear Driven Winch and FT5005 Replacement Volleyball Winch, the Gared Replacement Volleyball Winch, and Jaypro's Replacement Winch Handle for uprights built 2008 and later. Facilities running electric winches can add the Jaypro Wireless Remote Electric Motor Control Receiver for 1HP winches to control tensioning without walking to each post. Once the season ends, the Jaypro Volleyball Net Storage Rack (Net Keeper, Triple Net), the Volleyball Upright Storage Wall Rack (3-upright capacity), and the Volleyball Post Transporter keep uprights organized and off the gym floor. Protector Pads for center and volleyball uprights are also available with custom graphics for competition play, and the Tri-Court Volleyball System Adapter fits Jaypro's PVB-7000, PVB-6500, PVB-5000, PVB-4500, and PVB-1500 systems for multi-court setups.

Tennis & Pickleball Net Cables, Reels & Turnbuckles

Tennis and pickleball courts wear out cables and reels faster than the uprights themselves. Douglas offers the RVC-47 Replacement Tennis Net Cable at 47 feet and the RVC-27 Replacement Pickleball Net Cable at 27 feet, along with TB-6 and TB-12 turnbuckles for fine-tuning tension. Jaypro's Ratchet Reel replacements are sized for 3-1/2 in. tennis uprights (TP-125) and 2-7/8 in. tennis/pickleball uprights (RTP-278BK/PPR10), and full winch assemblies are available for Club Tennis Uprights (Outdoor) and the Tennis Post STP-200 in a chrome finish. Round out a repair with a Replacement Top Cap for tennis and pickleball uprights, Jaypro Weather Resistant Tape to protect exposed hardware, or a Tork Manual Winch Handle if only the handle has failed.

Backstop Cable Hardware & Facility Accessories

Baseball and softball facilities running suspended or standard backstops will find Douglas's Suspended Backstop Cable Hardware Kit and Standard Backstop Cable Hardware Kit, plus raw cable stock in 1/8 in. and 1/4 in. GAC galvanized steel for custom runs. Supporting hardware includes the Douglas Pulley with Split Bracket (1-7/8 in.), the DTP-37 Take Up Assembly, the Reel-1 Replacement Reel & Hardware, and the Deluxe Replacement Reel with Handle and matching Deluxe Chrome Handle. For multi-purpose game standards, the Jaypro Rubber Rim Replacement Band Kit fits 24 in. bases.

Matching the Right Part to Your Upright

Because winches, reels, and cables are brand- and model-specific, measure your existing upright diameter (commonly 2-7/8 in. or 3-1/2 in. for tennis/pickleball) and note the manufacturer stamped on the winch housing before ordering. Volleyball systems built after 2008 use a different handle pattern than older Jaypro uprights, and First Team and Gared winches are not interchangeable with Jaypro hardware. When replacing cable outright, match the length to your net width and upright spread — the 47 ft. and 27 ft. Douglas cables cover standard tennis and pickleball courts, while backstop runs are typically cut from bulk 1/8 in. or 1/4 in. stock. If you're unsure which part fits your setup, checking the existing part number against the titles in this collection is the fastest way to confirm compatibility.
