Tennis Enclosures 
Don’t spend your money on enclosures made 
with wooden posts and bulgy chicken wire. 
They are far from attractive, require frequent 
repairs, and soon entire replacement. 
A slight additional expenditure will secure 
one of our specially constructed fences made 
with stocky, rust-proof steel angle posts and 
anti-bulge heavy wire netting. 
Practically indestructible. 
Prices and full description of this or any 
other type of fence required, upon request.
