Each post is made from 3.5\" outside diameter, 1\/4\" wall 6063-T6 aluminum tube with a black powder coat finish. That gives you a strong, corrosion-resistant upright that stays light enough to remove and store when needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSentry can switch between two sports. Pull a pin and the top cap telescopes from 36\" pickleball net height to 42\" tennis net height. That makes it a smart and practical choice for busy multi-use courts where both sports share the same space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNet tension is set with a 26:1 ratio worm gear winch that will not backdrive, so the net holds steady once fully tightened. The winch has a quick-detach handle that you can remove after adjusting. The vinyl-coated top cable runs over a 2\" pulley at the top of the winch post for smooth tensioning. An adjustable post collar and 1\/4\" aluminum net lacing straps help keep the net properly secured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PKSO package includes hinged-lid ground sockets. With the posts removed, the stainless steel lids close flush with the court for a smooth, even surface. This makes them ideal for multi-purpose courts used for other sports. The included heavy-duty pickleball net is made from 3 mm black polypropylene with a 32 oz. headband and vinyl side and bottom tapes. The posts and components carry a lifetime limited warranty, and the net carries a 2-year limited warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.5\" OD, 1\/4\" wall 6063-T6 aluminum posts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack powder coat finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTelescoping top cap adjusts from 36\" pickleball to 42\" tennis net height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e26:1 ratio worm gear winch that will not backdrive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick-detach removable winch handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable post collar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2\" zinc-plated pulley caps on both posts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4\" aluminum net lacing strap on each post\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty pickleball net with vinyl-coated top cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo aluminum ground sockets with hinged stainless steel lids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eBenefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse one court for both pickleball and tennis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChange net height in moments with the pull of a pin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep consistent net tension with a winch that holds its setting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemove the handle after adjusting to help keep the court tidy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemove posts and close the lids for a smooth, flush court surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight aluminum construction resists rust and is easy to handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDurable net built for regular outdoor play\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifetime limited warranty on posts and components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: First Team\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: Sentry PKSO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePost Material: 6063-T6 aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePost Size: 3.5\" OD, 1\/4\" wall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Black powder coat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNet Height Settings: 36\" pickleball, 42\" tennis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWinch: 26:1 ratio worm gear with removable handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePost Weight: Approx. 25 lb (winch post), 20 lb (non-winch post)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNet Size: 36\" H x 21' 6\" L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNet Material: 3 mm black woven polypropylene\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNet Headband: 32 oz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNet Tapes: 2.5\" black vinyl side and bottom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstallation: Two in-ground aluminum sockets with hinged stainless steel lids, chrome powder-coated top ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePost Insertion Depth: 10\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded: FT8100PO Sentry Posts \u0026amp; Winch, FT8000P1 Heavy Duty Pickleball Net, FT5001 Hinged Sockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShipping Weight: 165 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: Lifetime limited (posts and components), 2-year limited (net)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFAQ's\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included with the Sentry PKSO?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe package includes the Sentry posts and winch (FT8100PO), a heavy-duty pickleball net (FT8000P1), and two hinged sockets (FT5001).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this system be used for tennis?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
