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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGUARDIAN 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ePRODUCT CONFIGURATION OPTIONS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"option-title text-center m-0 p-3 svelte-1dmjmf8\"\u003eGuardian PKPS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/4175\/2116\/files\/Screenshot_2026-05-05_at_13.38.06.png?v=1778013514\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/console.firstteaminc.com\/assets\/867b5a85-edb1-4461-92e2-3f896a5482d1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eSubmittal\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"option-title text-center m-0 p-3 svelte-1dmjmf8\"\u003eGuardian PKSO\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/4175\/2116\/files\/Screenshot_2026-05-05_at_13.38.13.png?v=1778013529\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/console.firstteaminc.com\/assets\/9de11e6f-23ec-4fa4-85d8-cca7ab047591\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eSubmittal\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"option-title text-center m-0 p-3 svelte-1dmjmf8\"\u003eGuardian PKSM\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/4175\/2116\/files\/Screenshot_2026-05-05_at_13.38.20.png?v=1778013572\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/console.firstteaminc.com\/assets\/123ca9cb-1cc7-42ff-8e33-00915968bc0d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eSubmittal\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/console.firstteaminc.com\/assets\/d59274f5-805f-4eb3-b7f3-09cdf4e5bee5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eWritten Specifications\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-row svelte-1q47c4c\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"a-text\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRODUCT DOCUMENTS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/console.firstteaminc.com\/assets\/6a4493ba-ed93-4240-bdff-c3acd2c1689b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eAssembly Instructions\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/console.firstteaminc.com\/assets\/a1108886-ee8d-4f47-8efb-8f5923fe7858\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eGeneral Submittal \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"a-row svelte-1q47c4c\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuestions about Guardian™ Pickleball Post System:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-row svelte-1q47c4c\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"q-row svelte-1q47c4c\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"q-label svelte-1q47c4c\"\u003eQ:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"q-text\"\u003eWhat is your part number for a pickleball net with removable sleeves?
