3″ Round Edwards Pickleball Net Posts (pair)

Technical Specifications: Edwards 3″ Round Pickleball Posts

Championship Strength: The Edwards Pickleball Standard

The Edwards Pickleball Net Posts bridge the gap between heavy-duty industrial engineering and specific sport regulations. While many manufacturers repurpose lighter materials for pickleball, Edwards utilizes the same 12-gauge steel found in stadium-grade tennis infrastructure.

Specifically, this structural mass ensures the posts remain vertical under the unique tension requirements of a 22-foot net. Consequently, players experience a consistent bounce and professional net response. Because these posts are shorter than tennis models, they maintain a clean, low-profile look suited for dedicated pickleball courts.

Features of the Edwards Professional Series

• Internal Winder: The brass winder mechanism is housed inside the post to prevent rust and accidental damage.
• Lacing Bars: Each post includes integrated lacing bars for secure and aesthetic net attachment.
• Precision Brass Hardware: High-grade internal gears ensure the winding action stays smooth for years.
• Durable Coating: The polyester powder-coated finish resists UV rays and chipping in outdoor environments.
• Tournament Height: Engineered to provide the exact 36-inch post height required by USA Pickleball (USAP).

Notably, these posts sold as a pair provide a complete foundational system. Therefore, facility owners can depend on the structural integrity of the steel to prevent net sag. This mass supports the high-tensile pickleball nets found in our pickleball equipment catalog.

Neutral Expert Guidance: Proper Sizing and Selection

As neutral experts, we emphasize that dedicated pickleball net posts are essential for a professional court. Although some facilities cut down tennis posts, the Edwards Pickleball series is factory-engineered for the sport.

Furthermore, these 3-inch round posts require specific 3″ round net post sleeves for a secure installation. Choosing ground sleeves allows for easy removal during the winter or resurfacing projects. Consequently, this flexibility extends the life of your equipment significantly.

Maintenance and Longevity Insights

Every Edwards 12-gauge post includes a removable handle to prevent unauthorized net adjustments. Specifically, the internal brass winder stays shielded from rain and dust within the steel housing. As a result, the mechanism remains fluid through seasons of heavy use. Therefore, maintenance remains simple, ensuring the court is always match-ready.

Installation Standards for Elite Facilities

Achieving a professional setup begins with a correct concrete foundation. We highly recommend consulting a certified contractor to ensure footers are poured to the proper depth. Notably, this prevents the posts from shifting or leaning under the stress of high-tension play. Properly installed, these posts ensure your court meets all official tournament regulations.
