SwiftNet™Installation Instructions
Safety: Please be very certain to only put the Tensioning Boom in the Netting
when the Netting is lying flat on the ground. Never try to insert the Boom into
the Netting Top End Caps with the Netting standing up. Doing so would require
placing the Boom under tension by hand, which could result in possible injury.
Video: Please review the installation video with Pickleball Pro Glen Peterson
first before trying to assemble the system as he shows you how to do it quickly
and easily. The video can be found at:

Step 1: Open Carry Bag
Open the carry bag and remove the contents, and set them on the court for easy access.
Step 2: Open the Base Legs
Take one of the Carbon Fiber Base Legs, and fan it open around the Vertical Support on the Base. Place each
Base about one foot outside the sideline at the center of the court with the legs directed away from the
court. Open the legs to the maximum amount they can be separated as shown on the Vertical Support decal.
Leave the bases in the upright position.
Step 3: Unroll Netting
Unroll the Netting fully and place the bottom of each Post near each Vertical Support of each Base. Make sure
the Net Tightening Cord that is on top of each Top End Cap, is fully loosened and free.
Step 4: Assemble Shock Corded Tensioning Boom
Assemble the Boom fully into one long pole by inserting one section into the next until it is completely
assembled. The Boom is put together just like a tent pole. With the Netting and Boom lying on the ground,
insert one end of the Boom under the Net Cord and slide it into the receiving end of the Top End Cap on Post
located on either side of the netting. It is important to make sure the Net Cords are above the Boom before
you insert the Boom into the Top End Cap as otherwise the netting can get twisted. Do the same to attach the
Boom to the Top End Cap on the other side of the Netting.

Step 5: Attach End Posts to Base
Take the Netting with one of the End Posts with the Boom already inserted and slide it down over the Vertical
Support of the Base. Rotate the base slightly until the End Post interlocks with the pin mechanism in the
Vertical Support. You will hear it click when it engages. Now do the same on the other side.
Step 6: Tighten Net & attach Center Net Support
Note that the Net
Tightening Cord
that is on top of
each Top End Cap,
is fully loosened
before inserting
Boom.

Tighten the Netting by pulling the Tensioning Net Cord straight down through the cam mechanism in the Top End
Cap on both sides of the Netting (be sure to pull the cord down through the teeth of the mechanism before
tightening). You will see the Boom gets forced downward as you pull the Net Cord downward. Do so until the
center of the Boom comes a few inches above the surface of the court.
Take the one Center Net Support (Shaped like the letter “A”) and clip it to the center of the Boom pointing
down to the ground like the below picture. Making sure the Center Net Support is not caught in the Netting,
and the base of the Net Support is pointed downward, resume tensioning the Net Cord if needed, until the base
of the Net Support is firmly seated on the court.
Please note that over tensioning the top cord could cause one or both of the Base Legs to lift off the court
making the system unstable. The ideal tension is the point just past where the Boom brings the Center Net
Support into contact with the court.
Pull red cord straight down through the
cam mechanism so the teeth grab the
cord
Note the space between the court
and the bottom of the Center Strap
Support. As you continue to
tension the Boom, this space will
close until the Support is firmly
seated on the court.

Step 8: Adjust Center Height
Take the Velcro Center Strap that is attached to the center of the Netting and bring it under and around the
Boom. Bring the end of the strap up to the tip of the red mark on the strap and attach the Velcro. Measure the
net height in the center and adjust the Velcro if needed to achieve the needed 34” from the ground to the top
of the center of the net.
Step 7: Adjust Outside Height
Measure the height on either end of the Netting one foot in from the post. If the Netting is properly tensioned,
this will measure 36”. If this measures slightly higher than 36”, you may need to adjust the Base Legs to
ensure a proper 3-point contact, and that the posts are vertical.
Thank you very much for using the SwiftNet™! We very much appreciate your business.
