Garden Tennis Ready
A droopy net ruins the game. Proper setup means proper play - net at the right height, tensioned correctly, posts that don't wobble.
💡 Pro tip: Check the ground is level before setup. A net on sloping ground never looks or plays right. Sometimes repositioning a few feet makes all the difference.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of nets can you set up?
Tennis, badminton, volleyball - basically any garden net system. Portable or semi-permanent. We get them up properly so they actually work for play.
Can the net be taken down easily after?
Depends on the type. Portable nets fold down quickly. Semi-permanent ones stay up. We'll show you how your particular system works.
What surface is best for garden tennis?
Flat grass or hard surface works. The net needs firm ground for the posts. Soft muddy ground won't hold posts properly.
Can you mark out a court too?
For lawn tennis, we can position the net correctly. Permanent line marking isn't something we do, but temporary markers are easy to add.
