Properly taking down a pickleball net is important to ensure its longevity, maintain safety, and preserve the playing area. If the net is carelessly removed or improperly stored, it can lead to unnecessary wear and tear, such as fraying, bent poles, or tangled tension systems, reducing its lifespan and requiring costly replacements. Additionally, leaving parts unsecured or scattered can create tripping hazards for players and maintenance staff. By following the correct disassembly process—loosening the tension, collapsing the frame systematically, and storing components in a designated space—you help keep the equipment in good condition, making setup easier for future games and ensuring a smooth playing experience for everyone.
Here is a video of the correct way to do it.
