What to Know Before You Get Started
How They Help Your Court
- See the ball better and increase reaction time
- Give courts a refined and pleasing appearance
- Create seclusion and eliminate off-court distractions
- Enjoy your game without gusting wind or glare
Windscreens cover the fences surrounding a tennis court. All Har-Tru windscreens work well to break up gusting winds, allow even air flow, and provide protection against sunlight and glare.
Windscreens add a professional touch to any court. They provide privacy between the court and nearby buildings, roads, players on adjacent courts, and other things you want to block from view. When a logo is added, they also help brand and identify your facility.
Windscreens provide better ball visibility. The sport of tennis takes a lot of concentration and distractions can seriously affect your game. Dark colored windscreens provide a consistent background and contrast against a yellow tennis ball. They block out disruptions that can take away your focus.
Sizes
- Standard heights are 6' or 9'
- Custom heights made to your specifications
- Lengths under 60’ are strongly recommended
- Lengths up to 150’ are available
Windscreens usually come in heights of 6′ or 9′. Custom sizes are available for shorter or taller fence segments. Lengths are available up to 150’, but single segments should be no longer than 60’ for ease of installation and maintenance.
Nine foot screens provide more coverage and are recommended for most tennis court fences. All 9’ windscreens include anti-billowing center tape, and vents are recommended to reduce wind pressure on the screen and fence.
Six foot screens place less strain on fences and are a good choice for facilities located near the water, in locations with very strong winds, or where weaker fences are an issue. Vents are not necessary for 6’ screens.
Opacity
- Closed mesh – 95% opacity
- Open mesh – 75-85% opacity
- Higher opacity increases privacy
- Lower opacity puts less strain on the fence
Windscreens are made with either open or closed mesh fabric. Denser, closed mesh windscreens have an opacity of 95%, while open mesh screens have an opacity of 75-85%.
Closed mesh windscreens provide more privacy. However, their denser weave adds weight and makes the fence more susceptible to damage from strong winds. They are recommended for areas with very little wind, or where near-complete privacy is essential.
Open-mesh windscreens provide only slightly less privacy, and are not as likely to be damaged by wind stress. They are recommended for almost any type of court to better protect the fence.
Vents
- Reduce wind pressure on screens
- Increase durability and life of the screen
- Always recommended for 9’ screens
- Available in half moon, rectangle, and square windows
Vents in windscreens are designed to prevent wind damage to the fences they cover. They allow some wind to pass through the screen, reducing strain on the fence and fasteners.
Vents are highly recommended for all 9′ screens to reduce the effects of wind and increase durability. This is especially true for denser closed mesh fabric.
Available in half moon, rectangle, or square cut windows, vents are installed approximately every 10’ along the windscreen segment.
Measuring
- Accurate measurements are essential
- Always diagram your courts
- Measure the inside area of the fence
- Get step-by-step instructions
Windscreens are custom cut to the length and height of each fence segment. Every fence measurement is different, even on different sides of the same court. Precise measurements and a diagram of your court are vital for purchasing and installing your windscreen.
A segment’s length is determined by measuring the inside area between two terminal posts. Terminal posts can be a corner post, gate post, or a post at the transition from one fence height to another.
Logos
Logos & Graphics
- Give your brand a boost
- Create a polished look
- Add your logo to any screen
- Available in a variety of sizes
Adding a logo or graphic to your windscreen creates recognition and helps brand your court of club. The main things to think about are the placement and size of your logo.
When adding a logo, make sure the image is on the inside of the screen so that it faces toward the court and is not obstructed by the posts. Image files for production should be in a vector format file (PDF or .eps).

What is the best material for my windscreen?
The choice of material depends on your location and the weather you typically have. The strength of fence you are covering also affects the best choice of material. Consult a Har-Tru expert to find the right choice for your facility.
When will my windscreen order ship?
Windscreens ship approximately 2 weeks after placing an order. All Har-Tru windscreens carry a warranty and will last for years with proper care.
Does my windscreen need vents?
To reduce billowing and increase the life of your windscreen, we strongly recommend that all 9’ screens have vents. Vents in windscreens prevent wind damage to the fences they cover. Vents allow air flow between the screen and the fence. Vents should be cut in the windscreen beginning 5 feet from the left edge, and continuing approximately every 10 feet.
