- Use polyethylene nets because it is resistant to fading from UV radiation and weathers well.
- Net headbands are usually made of vinyl or polyester duck. They are joined with double layers and four rows of lock stitching to hold the layers. On hard courts polyester duck headbands are preferred because duck material absorbs ball's kinetic energy and doesn't speed up the ball.
