POST

The 3” O.D. round pickleball post is constructed from heavy-duty 11-gauge steel. Posts are finished with a black or green baked-on polyester powder coat to resist rust and increase durability. The post features integrated welded steel lacing rods for securing the net to the post. With Douglas pickleball court net posts, a base collar is placed at 36”, which acts as a stop to ensure the net post is installed at the correct height when it’s inserted into the ground sleeve.

HARDWARE

The Douglas® Premier™ post series are all internally wound featuring a self-locking gear mechanism that prevents recoiling during winding. The main gear is constructed of plated steel while the small gear is case-hardened. The internal gear function is a 30:1 ratio, ensuring smooth and easy operation. The gear housings and caps are made of cast aluminum alloy. The posts flush mounted gear plate cover and removable handle are chrome plated.

If at some point the hardware needs to be replaced, it can easily be removed from the net post and a new gear assembly can be inserted into the post. Replacement parts include: plated steel gear assembly, replacement tennis post caps, and replacement chrome handle.

WARRANTY

5 Year Limited Warranty

Ground Sleeves

Corresponding 24″ Steel Ground Sleeves are not included but can be purchased separately.

If you are constructing a new pickleball court, it’s highly recommended to install ground sleeves in the concrete instead of directly installing the tennis posts in the concrete. In addition, if you live in an area that has winter months or periods in which you are unable to use the pickleball courts, you can remove the net posts and store them which will increase the lifetime of the pickleball posts. If at some point you need to replace the pickleball court posts, you can slide the old net posts out of the sleeve and slide a new pair directly into the sleeve.
