  • I've reviewed the instructions for Gill's Tennis Net models 884/884A and 885. This document outlines the process of installing a tennis net, covering steps from preparing the cable to lacing the net to the posts and adjusting the center strap. I'm ready to answer any questions you have about the installation process.
  • How much cable should be added to the total length between the poles?
    How much of the white coating should be stripped from the cable end?
    How much bare cable should be exposed in the cable clamp?
    What tool is used to tighten the cable clamp?
