First Team introduces the Guardian™ pickleball post system. The unit is constructed of 3.5" OD heavy duty, 1/4" thick high tensile aluminum. Aluminum construction makes theses posts easy to remove, store and setup. The heavy-duty steel internal worm gear driven winch is easy and safe to operate and has a lockable handle or handle may be removed. Guardian package systems include a heavy duty pickleball net made from the same high quality companents we use in First Team tennis nets. Choose from Gaurdian two system options: Guardian PKPS includes standard PVC sleeves for post installation while Guardian PKSO includes First Team exclusive sockes with hinged cover lids. These sockets are particularly useful on mulitpurpose courts where a smooth flush surface is desired when post are removed.

Under no circumstances shall any basketball product carrying a strictly residential warranty be covered for non-residential use.
