Net And Posts Types And Features |
 |
|
Clamps Types |

 |
 |
 |
||
| C-Clamps | I-Bolt | Frame Brackets | ||
| Most net post brackets use a "C" shaped clamp to attach to the table surface. (Universal use) | Some nets for roll-away tables attach the post brackets to the table using a thin bolt through the narrow gap between table halves. (Universal use on roll away tables) | Some folding, roll-away tables use "dedicated" brackets which attach to the table frame rather than the table top. These usually allow the net to remain in place during movement or storage of the table. Net sets with "standard" C-clamp type attachment to the table may not work with these tables due to table framing or carriage parts that interfere. (Dedicated) |
| Table Fit Considerations | ||||
 |
Clamp Opening - This is the maximum combined table and frame thickness that the net post clamp will accommodate. On many tables the net bracket will clamp directly to the top, requiring only a 1" or less clamp opening. On other tables the framing may extend into the net post attachment area, requiring a net post with up to a 3" or 4" clamp opening. |
Adjustability of Net - The ability to easily and precisely adjust net tightness and height are features of the best tournament nets while recreational nets may not have net adjustability. | ||
|
"Universal"
Net and post Sets- Most nets are designed to clamp directly onto
a table top of any brand. Some sets, which have extra wide clamp clamp
openings will also fit tables with thick framing in the center area.
"Universal net/posts may not fit some tables designed for use
with a dedicated net/post set. |
