TENNIS POST AND NET INSTALLATION

*IMPORTANT*
1. Please read through the instructions thoroughly before installation
2. Installation, movement and use of equipment should be carried out
under the supervision of a competent person using due diligence and risk assessment.
3. Take extreme care when installing, moving and lifting components.
4. Check all parts are present with no defects prior to assembly.
5. Any safety/warning stickers must be visible at all times.
6. Never climb or swing on the product.
7. We recommend lubricating/greasing the appropriate components (winders,
sockets, inserts, nuts and bolts) to prolong lifespan.
8. Regularly inspect and maintain the equipment to ensure it is safe to use,
working correctly and increase life span.
9. This is a guide only, please refer to the latest ITF specifications
to ensure the correct measurements.

STEP 1 - Installing sockets.
Tennis post ground sockets should be set 42ft (12.80m) apart centre to centre for a
doubles net set up or 33ft (10.06m) for a singles net set up.
If a centre ground socket (for attaching the centre strap) has been purchased then
this needs to be set exactly in the centre of the 42ft or 33ft set up.
The top of the ground sockets should be flush with the finished court surface ground
level. This is to ensure that the tennis posts are the regulation height of 3.5ft (1.07m).
The diagram below shows a doubles net setup.

A concrete block 70cm x 70cm x 70cm minimum is recommended
to hold the tennis post ground sockets in place.
The concrete block should be set slightly below ground level to allow
for the sports surface. For example if you were using 30mm thick artificial
carpet for the sports surface then the blocks of concrete will need to be
set 30mm below ground level. this is to ensure the top of the socket and
sports surface are flush.
It is highly recommended that the tenis post sockets are installed 1-4 degrees
off vertical leaning away from the net. This is to ensure that the tennis
posts do not lean inwards when tensioned.
For the centre ground socket (for attaching the centre net strap) a concrete
block of 300cm x 300cm x 300cm is recommended. The concrete block
again should be set slightly below ground level to allow for the tennis court top surface.

STEP 1 - Setting up tennis posts and net.
Before installing tennis posts and net please ensure that the
concrete blocks holding the sockets have correctly set into place.
You will then need to screw the brass winder handle to the winding
mechanism using the screw provided.
Carefully slot the winder and anchor tennis posts into the ground sockets.
to attach the tennis net, take the looped end of the net’s headline wire and
place this over the hook on the anchor post.
For the winder side place the plain end of the headline wire over the pulley
wheel and down into the hole inside the brass winding mechanism. turn the winder
handle clockwise a few times to wrap the wire around the barrel of the winding mechanism.

For a tidy net finish weave the provided stainless steel lacing bars
through the tennis net holes and the welded lugs on the tennis posts.
Once this is complete attach the centre net strap and turn the winder
handle clockwise to tension the net. we recommend using a net
height measuring gauge (sold separately) to ensure regulation
net height.
