Make sure the tennis net posts are securely anchored into the court surface and that they do not move when pressure is applied to them.

Affix the cable loop at the top of the net (on both sides) to the hook at the top of the post.

Feed the excess cable length into the winding device mounted on the post. Most posts have this type of winding mechanism to help keep the net taut and maintain proper net height during regular play. If there is no winding device or you are unsure how to use it, tie the cable securely around the post several times, instead.

Run the net lacing through the grommets at the top of the post and wind them around, tying them tightly.

Tie the bottom loop cables to the hook on the bottom of the anchoring posts.

Tighten the top of the net with the winding device or by tying the loop tighter. When you are finished adjusting the net’s tension, there should be no room between the net tape and the securing post.

Measure the height of the net near the posts. The top of the net tape should be about 42 inches from the ground.

Install the anchoring strap in the middle of the net and attach it to the hook mounted on the court surface.

Measure the height of the net at the center of the court. The top of the net should be 36 inches off the ground after it is anchored.
