Heavy-Duty All-Weather Build: 36-DMT Overview

The Douglas 36-DMT Tennis Net delivers maximum structural integrity for busy tennis centers and high-end residential courts. We build this net to handle the constant stress of tournament-level play and harsh outdoor conditions. Because the net uses ultra-thick 3.5mm braided polyethylene, it offers a substantial barrier that absorbs high-speed serves with ease. Therefore, it is a smart choice for facilities that want to minimize net sagging and maintenance.

Consequently, this net ensures your court stays looking clean and professional while providing a 5-year shield against structural wear and tear.

Unrivaled 3.5mm Solid-Core Braided Netting

A pro-grade net requires extra mass to stop the ball dead and keep a straight net line. For this reason, we use 3.5mm braided solid-core polyethylene for the 36-DMT net body. This thick mesh provides superior resistance to mechanical stress. Specifically, the solid-core design ensures the netting does not stretch or thin over several seasons of play. This keeps your net taut and reliable through thousands of matches.

Notably, the material features advanced UV blockers to stop sun damage. As a result, the mesh keeps its deep black color and does not become brittle in the heat. This makes the Douglas 36-DMT a dependable choice for outdoor courts in humid or coastal climates. You can trust this net to provide a professional ball response regardless of the weather.

Double-Mesh Reinforcement on Top 6 Rows

The top of the net faces the highest frequency of ball strikes. To solve the problem of mesh breaking, the 36-DMT uses double-layered netting across the top six rows. Specifically, this “Double Top” design provides a massive boost to the net’s life in the highest-impact zone. This extra layer protects your investment and ensures the net maintains its professional appearance during intense match play.

Low-Maintenance 2-Ply Vinyl Headband

This Douglas model features a 2-ply white vinyl headband for easy upkeep. Specifically, vinyl is non-porous, meaning you can wipe away dirt, dust, and rain spots in seconds. We lock-sew the headband with four rows of high-tensile white polyester thread. This ensures the top edge never pulls away from the mesh under high tension. Therefore, you get a clean, white net line that resists yellowing and staining.

Tapered Cut for Surface Care and Longevity

We use a tapered cut on the bottom tape of the 36-DMT to protect your court. This design choice prevents the net from rubbing or dragging against the acrylic court coating in the center. Consequently, it prevents premature fraying of the net and keeps your playing surface in top condition. Furthermore, the polyester-based side pockets and bottom tapes will not shrink or rot when exposed to humidity.

Professional Install Components Included

Setting up your court is simple with the included high-grade components. You receive 1/2″ solid fiberglass side dowels to hold the net edges straight and vertical. These dowels ensure the net hangs perfectly on any standard post system. Please note that this package does not include a center strap. For a regulation setup, most court owners add a pro-grade center strap to their order.
