Steel Tennis Nets
Steel tennis nets are an exceptional choice for school sports facilities, offering the perfect combination of functionality, longevity, and cost-effectiveness.
Whether used for structured PE lessons, after-school clubs, or casual play, steel tennis nets provide a reliable and professional setup that enhances students' learning and enjoyment of the game.
For Headteachers and Purchasing Managers, investing in steel tennis nets is an excellent choice. Unlike traditional alternatives such as wooden posts or polyester nets, steel tennis nets are designed to handle the wear and tear of frequent use and withstand exposure to harsh weather conditions.
It is worth noting here that treated wood and polyester can offer good weather resistance, however it depends on how well the wood is treated. And with polyester, it is not a highly absorbent material but will become wet and retain moisture if exposed to water over long periods.
This makes steel tennis nets particularly well-suited for schools, where equipment must endure daily use by enthusiastic and energetic students.
Here at AMV Playgrounds, we specialise in providing schools with high-quality, robust steel tennis nets that are designed to meet the unique demands of busy school environments.
With over 30 years of experience in designing and supplying high-quality playground equipment, we can help Headteachers and Purchasing Managers select the right steel tennis net equipment that aligns with your school’s needs for durability, safety, and long-term affordability.

Benefits of steel tennis nets for schools
Steel tennis nets are a smart and practical choice for schools looking to enhance their sports facilities. Designed with durability, safety, and versatility in mind, they provide a reliable and cost-effective solution that addresses the unique needs of schools.
One of the main benefits that steel tennis nets bring is their exceptional durability. Unlike wooden or plastic alternatives, steel frames are built to withstand the daily use in a school environment.
Additionally, steel is highly resistant to weathering (especially when galvanised or powder coated) ensuring that outdoor tennis nets remain intact and functional despite exposure to rain, wind, and extreme temperatures. This longevity reduces the need for frequent replacements, making steel tennis nets a cost-effective investment for schools with limited budgets.
Steel tennis nets also offer great versatility in school playgrounds. They can be easily adapted for other activities, such as badminton, volleyball or cricket, allowing schools to maximise the use of their sports courts.
Here at AMV Playgrounds, our 6m Mini Tennis Net and Full Size Tennis Net both have the option to buy with integrated cricket wicket, where wickets are fixed to the nets and as a result schools can use the nets for cricket too.
In addition to their practical advantages, steel tennis nets offer long-term cost savings for Headteachers and Purchasing Managers. Their robust construction and low maintenance requirements mean schools can spend less time and money on repairs and replacements, freeing up resources for other important initiatives.

Considerations for choosing steel tennis nets for your school
Choosing the right steel tennis nets for your school is an important decision that requires careful consideration of several key factors.
With the right equipment, schools can ensure that their sports facilities are safe, durable, and suitable for a variety of activities, helping students get the most out of the equipment.
Size and specifications
The size of the tennis nets should align with the intended users and the dimensions of the sports area. For primary schools, smaller nets may be more appropriate to cater to younger students, while secondary schools may require full-sized nets to accommodate older and more experienced players.
Material selection and durability
Steel tennis nets should feature robust posts and reinforced netting that can endure frequent use and exposure to harsh weather conditions. Look for products with corrosion-resistant coatings or weatherproof finishes to ensure longevity.
Safety features
Look for nets with smooth, rounded edges to reduce the risk of injury, and ensure that the structure is stable and secure to prevent tipping or collapse during use.
Low maintenance
Steel tennis nets should be low maintenance to minimise ongoing costs and any time spent on repairs.
Versatility
To maximise your investment, steel tennis nets can also be adapted and integrated with other sports equipment, for example our goal units. This not only makes better use of a space but maximises schools’ budgets.
