Description

ABSTRACT:
A tennis court structure including a playing net assembly and back net assemblies which are all readily collapsible and can be installed or disassembled in a relatively short period of time. Anchor pads for receiving the net support stanchions are permanently installed in the court surface at appropriate positions for the stanchions. These stanchions have angulated braces pivotally attached thereto which are withdrawn from a collapsed position colinear with the associated stanchion to an angulated bracing position where they are fitted together to inwardly brace the stanchion against the ground. Each stanchion is fitted within an associated pad member and latched thereto by means of a latch assembly, the net being attached at opposite ends thereof to the stanchions in a firmly supported position. Anchor pad members are also provided for removably retaining a plurality of poles used for supporting back and rear side netting for the back courts on either side of the net.
