Description
Overview
These galvanised tennis net steel posts with winder are a pair of steel posts with a tension winder, supplied for permanent installation. The listing describes them as designed for use in playgrounds, which in practice means school courts and multi-use hard areas where the net stays up rather than being packed away.
Fix them by concreting the posts directly into the ground, or fit the ground sleeve (TN328) so the posts can be lifted out when the court is used for something else. They are made to order from a local supplier and, as a large item, freight is quoted separately; see our tennis posts & nets range for nets and accessories.
Key benefits
- Keeps the net at the right tension through the season with the built-in winder.
- Galvanised steel finish for posts that stay outdoors year round.
- Installs two ways: concreted in permanently, or set in the optional ground sleeve.
- Supplied as a pair, so one order covers a court.
Who it's for
Choose these posts for a school or club court that needs a fixed net: a playground court, a hard area marked for tennis, or a club court being refitted. Pair them with Low Compression Tennis Balls for junior coaching sessions once the net is up.
They are not a portable or free-standing option. If you need something you can wheel away between lessons, ask our team before ordering.
Sizing guide
Net height is measured at the centre of the net. Our tennis net height guide lists a post height of 1.07 m (3 1/2 ft) giving a net height of 91 cm (3 ft) at centre. Confirm the post height for this pair with our team before you set sleeve or footing depth.
Care, safety and set-up
Set the posts in concrete or the TN328 ground sleeve before tensioning the net, and slacken the winder when the court is out of use to reduce strain on the net and posts.
This is a made to order product: it is manufactured after you order, and special freight charges apply, so freight is quoted for your address rather than charged at checkout. Add the posts to a quote for a school or club court fit-out.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need the ground sleeve?
Only if you want to lift the posts out. Otherwise concrete the posts directly into the ground. The sleeve is a separate item (TN328).
Why is freight not shown at checkout?
Special freight charges apply to posts of this size, so we quote freight for your address. Add the posts to a quote and request a quote, or contact the customer-service team.
Are the posts dispatched from stock?
No. They are made to order, so they are manufactured after you order rather than picked from the shelf. Our team confirms timing when quoting.
Can a school get help with the cost?
Funding packages exist for schools and clubs; see our funding packages page or ask your rep.
