A little more perspective
The ITF’s 2026 rules specify a center height of 0.914 meters and a support height of 1.07 meters. For doubles, the post centers sit 0.914 meters outside each side of the 10.97-meter court, giving a nominal center-to-center span of 12.798 meters. The center strap holds the lower midpoint at the selected height.
The original vector construction uses those dimensions at one equal scale, with transparent mesh openings. A smooth parabolic top-band sag connects the specified endpoints; that curve, mesh pitch, fabric and post fittings are illustrative. The measurement ends at the upper edge of the band at center, not at the higher posts.
