A cover housing for a tennis net support post includes a casing which defines an interior chamber and can, be positioned over the support post, and a cap which fits on top of the casing, the casing including upper and lower positioning means for contacting the support post therein to fix the casing in position relative to the support post and adjust its orientation, e.g. to vertical. The cap includes a slot through which a tennis net cable can pass into the interior chamber of the casing. An embodiment of the housing embodiment for covering a support post having a cable winch mounted thereon includes a vertical slot in its outer side to enable the tennis net cable to pass to the cable winch (remounted on its outer side) after having passed over the upper end of the support post therein. The positioning means can include a mounting element that extends into the side of the casing and a screw element that extends through the mounting element into the interior chamber of the casing. Eye hooks can be positioned along the inner side of the casing for a fastening cord that also extends-through eyelets in an adjacent end of the tennis net to tighten the net towards the cover housing.
A cover housing for a tennis net support post, said cover housing comprising a casing that provides an internal chamber in which the tennis net support post can extend when the casing is lowered thereover, a removable cap that can be positioned over an upper end of the casing, and positioning means which extend through opposite sides of the casing for contact with the tennis net support post therein for fixedly positioning the casing relative to the support post and adjusting its orientation to vertical:
A casing for covering a tennis net support post, said casing providing an internal chamber and including upper and lower positioning means extending through opposite sides thereof for contacting a tennis net support post therein to fixedly position the casing relative to the post and enabling adjustment thereof to vertical.
A combination of a support post for a net and a cover housing positioned over the support post, said cover housing comprising a casing that has an internal chamber in which the post extends, upper and lower positioning means on opposite sides of the casing for contact with the support post in the internal chamber, and a cap for covering an upper end of the casing.
