First Team Guardian™ Tennis Post System

Guardian™ Tennis Post System by First Team Available in PVC Sleeve, Hinged Socket, and Surface Mount versions Built for High-Use Courts That Cannot Afford to Compromise The First Team Guardian™ Tennis Post System is engineered from 3.5" OD schedule 40 high-tensile aluminum with a black powder coat finish to stay straight, true, and structurally sound through years of heavy court use. No bowing. No flex. Just the clean, rigid post your net deserves. An Internal Winch That Is Stronger and Safer Than the Competition The Guardian's internal worm gear net tensioner winch is built entirely from heavy-duty stainless steel, making it significantly stronger than the brass winch designs commonly found on competing systems. The no-backdrive design keeps net tension locked in place, and the fully internal housing keeps the mechanism protected and out of reach of players. A Complete Package Ready for Any Court Configuration Every Guardian package ships with a heavy-duty double top six net with coated top cable and a center strap with anchor. Choose from PVC sleeves (TNPS), exclusive hinged sockets (TNSO) for flush multi-purpose courts, or surface mount hardware (TNSM) for installations where below-ground work is not possible. The TNSO and TNSM packages include a flush mount threaded anchor that closes flush with the court surface when posts are removed.
