HARDWARE The 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” 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. #gallery-4 { margin: auto; } #gallery-4 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 25%; } #gallery-4 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-4 .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
