Guardian PKSO Walk Around
First Team introduces the GUARDIAN™ pickleball post system. The unit is constructed of 3.5" OD heavy duty, ¼" thick high tensile aluminum. Aluminum construction makes these 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 components we use on our tennis nets. Choose from two GUARDIAN system options: GUARDIAN PKPS includes standard PVC sleeves for post installation while GUARDIAN PKSO includes our exclusive sockets with hinged cover lids. These sockets are particularly useful on multi-purpose courts where a smooth flush surface is desired when posts are removed. Order GUARDIAN PKSM for surface mount applications where installing sleeves below ground is not possible or not desired.
