Thanks guys, I called my local rec center, and they told me it was OK with them (as long as I didn't interfere with the basketball practices). I'll have to look into buying a portable net now!

Not exactly a ladder (yet), but my site, www.tennismetro.com might be interesting to you (helps connect local players at neighborhood courts).

thanks everyone. It is a Kblade, and I'm pretty sure the tie on the cross is right, but I'll double check. The knots are loose, but that's just my inexperience showing. I didn't want to pull too hard on them for fear of weakening the string. Any tips on getting those knots tighter?

Hi all (first post), I'm a new stringer and check out what I did on my second job: As you can see, I didn't alternate my crosses correctly on the last three (and actually, on the top three too). I kept alternating my starts (under, over) on the first and last three crosses, and now realize I...
