Product Overview
The Douglas TN-28DM Tennis Net is built for high-traffic public settings such as schools and park and recreation facilities. Its top five rows use double mesh netting to reduce wear in the area where balls make the most contact, extending the net's service life compared to standard single-mesh designs.
The net combines a durable polyester web headband, preferred by professional players for consistent ball reaction, with a vinyl-coated 5/32 in. galvanized steel cable rated to 2300 lb. break strength. The 1-3/4 in. square mesh braided polyethylene netting is 3.5 mm thick and rated to 325 lb. break strength, offering strong resistance to weathering and wear. Vinyl bottom tape and side pockets are double lock-stitched with polyester thread to resist shrinking, mildew, and rot.
Made in the USA, the net ships with 1/2 in. fiberglass side dowels and lacing cord, while center straps are sold separately. It carries a 5-Year Limited warranty and meets official USTA size requirements at 42 ft. x 3 ft. 6 in.
