POST

These 2-7/8” O.D. round pickleball posts are constructed from heavy-duty 8-gauge steel and feature Allied’s® superior Flo-coat® galvanization process. 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™ XS pickleball post series are all internally wound featuring a jam-free cable tensioning hardware system. Choose from plated steel, stainless steel or brass gears. The self-locking gear mechanism prevents recoiling during winding. The internal gear function is a 30:1 ratio, ensuring smooth and easy operation. The gear housings and tennis post caps are made of die-cast zinc. The posts flush mounted gear plate cover has a removable handle.

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.

WARRANTY

5-Year Limited Warranty

GROUND SLEEVES

Corresponding 24” ground sleeves are not included but can be purchased separately. Choose from PVC or Aluminum.

If you are constructing a new pickleball court, it’s highly recommended to install ground sleeves in the concrete instead of directly installing the pickleball 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.
