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. #gallery-3 { margin: auto; } #gallery-3 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 25%; } #gallery-3 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-3 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */ Douglas Deluxe Reel Removable Handle Douglas Deluxe Reel Welded Integrated Steel Lacing Rods
