POST

These 3-1/2” O.D. round tennis posts are constructed from heavy-duty 8-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 tennis court net posts, a base collar is placed at 42”, which acts as a stop to ensure the net post is installed at the correct height when it’s inserted into the ground sleeve. A Sidewinder 2-7/8″ O.D. Tennis post is also available.

HARDWARE

The Douglas® deluxe reel is made from durable rust-free aluminum. The reel is simple to use and adjusts smoothly with a side-mounted removable handle. The reel mount, external gears, and handle are finished in a corresponding black or green powder coat finish. The baked-on powder coat finish is rust-resistant and increases durability.

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 tennis 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 tennis courts, you can remove the net posts and store them which will increase the lifetime of the tennis posts. If at some point you need to replace the tennis court posts, you can slide the old net posts out of the sleeve and slide a new pair directly into the sleeve.
