Abstract: A method is disclosed for making a tennis, badminton or similar racket net. A board being provided with projecting nails, a thread or catgut is placed on the board along the sinuous contour of the cross-strings of a net and another thread or catgut is placed along the sinuous contour of the uprights of a net, using the nails as aids for defining said contours. Loops are formed at the connection between two successive cross-strings or uprights and the thus formed net is thereafter disengaged from the board.
