The Guardian tennis post line is extremely durable and versatile, capable of meeting the needs of any top-notch court. The Guardian post is manufactured from 3.5\" OD heavy-duty 1\/4\" thick high tensile aluminum. Straight and true, the Guardian will stand up to high use courts and allow proper game tension on the net with no bowing on the posts. The internal worm gear net tensioner winch has a clean look and is safe for users. Our exclusive winch is made from heavy-duty stainless steel and is far stronger than our competitor's common brass winch design. A heavy-duty double top six net with coated top cable is included with each Guardian package. Center strap and anchor also included. Each Guardian package includes ground sleeves for easy post-installation and removal. Guardian TNPS includes standard PVC sleeves, while Guardian TNSO includes our exclusive hinged sockets. These sockets are particularly useful on multi-purpose courts where a smooth flush surface is desired when tennis posts are removed. Guardian TNSO also includes our exclusive Flush Mount strap anchor for the flush surface when not in use.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFeatures \u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVinyl coated cable\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack powder-coat finish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePackages include heavy-duty double top six net\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3.5\" OD schedule 40 aluminum posts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSafe and secure Internal worm gear winch will not back drive\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdjustable post collar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable with hinged lid sockets or PVC sleeves\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePackages include a white center strap with an anchor\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWhat our Experts Think\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"27\" data-end=\"1087\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"103qiei\" data-start=\"27\" data-end=\"265\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"29\" data-end=\"63\"\u003eProfessional‑Grade Durability:\u003c\/strong\u003e Built with 3.5″ OD heavy‑duty schedule‑40 aluminum posts and a robust internal worm gear winch to resist bending and hold net tension reliably match after match. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"9dqp0g\" data-start=\"266\" data-end=\"494\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"268\" data-end=\"292\"\u003eComplete Net System:\u003c\/strong\u003e Includes heavy‑duty double top six tennis net with vinyl‑coated cable, center strap, anchor, and installation sleeves — everything needed for a full court setup. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"2xfgmr\" data-start=\"495\" data-end=\"710\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"497\" data-end=\"524\"\u003eSmooth Tension Control:\u003c\/strong\u003e Internal stainless‑steel worm gear winch offers secure, back‑drive‑resistant net tensioning that’s safer and stronger than typical brass designs. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"qjgvzj\" data-start=\"711\" data-end=\"888\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"713\" data-end=\"742\"\u003eWeather‑Resistant Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black powder‑coat protects against corrosion and outdoor wear, extending performance life in all seasons. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1lidsnt\" data-start=\"889\" data-end=\"1087\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"891\" data-end=\"917\"\u003eFlexible Installation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Guardian TNPS standard PVC sleeves support in‑ground installs;
