The Boundary Net for Table Tennis

Positioned straight across the middle of the table, this net forms the main obstacle during a table tennis match. Supported by thick posts on either side, the wide grid pattern creates a clear divider that dictates valid shots in the sport.

Rules and Design of the Net

Official table tennis regulations require the net to stand exactly six inches high along its entire length. Clamps attached to the side posts hold the cord at continuous tension so the top edge remains straight throughout long rallies.

Official Colors of Table Tennis Nets

  • Net mesh: dark blue, black, or dark green woven fabric
  • Upper net border: clean white cloth strip along the top edge
  • Support posts: metallic gray, black, or navy blue painted steel
  • Attachment clamps: dark gray or black heavy plastic and metal
