Pickleball is a sport that has grown rapidly in popularity over the last decade or two. While it’s similar in nature to tennis, it has a few unique elements that make it its very own leisure sport. Pickleball can be played by family, friends, and even in competitive contexts.
However, when it comes to a pickleball court, you need to perform essential maintenance for your pickleball net. Otherwise, you’ll have to replace it more often. That results in less playtime and more expenses. So let’s talk about how to extend the life of your pickleball net.

Pickleball Net Maintenance Tips
Store The Net Properly When Not In Use
The pickleball net should be broken down and stored. This will maximize the overall lifetime of your investment in the net. It should be stored somewhere that is cool and dry. A closet, storage unit, or garage can suffice depending on the weather.
Keep it out of snowstorms, rainstorms, or other extreme weather patterns. For instance, many pickleball court operators take the net down and store it in a safe place during the winter. This is especially true if you’ve already closed down the court for the season.
Get Regular Maintenance Performed
Reach out to Talbot Tennis if you have any questions about how to perform maintenance on your pickleball net.
Cleaning it, getting rid of debris, washing it with a light detergent and warm water about once a month is an excellent start. This will keep it looking better but also performing well over time.
Make Sure Those Who Are Using The Pickleball Net Are Not Abusing Or Misusing The Net
People should not be hanging on, grabbing, or otherwise putting extra stress on the net itself. Having care when handling the net will help it prolong its life cycle.
