ABSTRACT:
A tensioning and support system for a sports net assembly includes two standards spaced a predetermined distance apart and a net suspended between the standards with a net rope extending along its upper edge. A number of guy ropes support each standard. At one end of the assembly, the net rope can slide relative to the standard, but includes a sliding locking mechanism for adjustably fixing the position of the standard relative to the net rope. The desired degree of tension is first placed on the top net rope. The guy rope is temporarily attached to the top net rope to maintain tension on the net rope while the sliding locking mechanism is moved along the top rope to fix the position of the standard relative to the net rope. Finally, the guy rope is detached from the top net rope and secured to the standard to complete installation.
