Description

Galvanized Post Sleeves are used to hold tennis or pickleball posts securely in place while still allowing the posts to be removed when needed. Instead of permanently setting the post directly into the court, the sleeve is installed into the ground or court base. The post then slides into the sleeve, creating a stable, clean, and removable post setup.

Why you need them

  • Allows posts to be removable
    Post sleeves make it easier to remove tennis or pickleball posts when the court needs to be used for other activities, maintenance, resurfacing, or seasonal storage.
  • Helps create a secure post installation
    The sleeve gives the post a stable pocket to sit in, helping keep it upright and properly positioned during play.
  • Protects the court setup
    Instead of repeatedly installing and removing posts directly from the court surface, the sleeve provides a dedicated placement point. This helps keep the installation cleaner and more organized.
  • Great for multi-use courts
    Many schools, parks, clubs, and municipal facilities use courts for multiple sports or events. Post sleeves allow the net posts to be taken out when the space needs to be cleared.
  • Helps prevent water and debris buildup
    When used with matching caps, sleeves can be covered when the posts are removed, helping keep dirt, leaves, water, and debris out of the opening.
  • Built for outdoor durability
    Galvanized steel helps resist rust and corrosion, making these sleeves a strong option for outdoor court environments.

How they work

The Galvanized Post Sleeve is installed into the court base where the net post will be positioned. Once the sleeve is in place, the tennis or pickleball post slides down into the sleeve. The sleeve holds the post vertically and helps keep it aligned for proper net setup. Polish off your netting and posts with Putterman’s Net Post Trim Plate Set.  When the post needs to be removed, it can be lifted out of the sleeve and a sleeve cap can then be placed over the opening. This keeps the court surface clean and safe when the post is not in use.
