Drag nets are typically used by tennis players to smooth the court after a match. As the season progresses and the tennis courts become firmer, drag nets demonstrate their advantages over sweeping brooms, as they achieve a nice, even leveling and distribution of the court surface without roughening it too much.
trawl net fabric
The trawl net fabric varies in material weight and mesh size. Naturally, the heavier fabric has a stronger leveling effect compared to the lighter fabric with larger mesh. However, it is also more difficult to move, especially for women and children.
The compromise between the two is the Uniplan , whose heavy fabric is only 75 cm long and therefore weighs only half as much.
Trawl net beam
The trawl net beam or profile is usually made of wood or aluminum. Wooden beams have the disadvantage of weathering over the years, but they provide the necessary weight to allow the trawl net to glide smoothly over the ground. Aluminum profiles, on the other hand, usually offer handling advantages due to their lighter weight and do not weather.
Grid mats
Special mats with PVC mesh achieve a higher roughening effect than conventional trawl net fabric and, with a sufficiently large pulling radius, also prevent moss formation in the edge areas.
These mats are only available with PVC mesh or in combination with trawl net fabric , which evenly distributes the roughened material again.
Special mats
For quickly removing leaves and blossoms from the tennis court surface, the 'Super Clean' drag mat is the best device on the market. Its special design reliably removes leaves from the tennis court, saving a significant amount of time compared to using a broom or drag net.
For artificial turf pitches, there is the quartz sand leveling mat , which allows you to distribute the sand evenly on the surface.
The increasingly popular all-season surfaces like Sportas or Red Clay Pro are well maintained with the Platzfit brush mat . It's a combination of a light scraper brush and a drag net.
