What Makes the Spartan PRO Different

This is the stationary, no-wheels version of the Spartan PRO, the top of our portable pickleball net line. Every component is a step up from the standard Heavy-Duty model: a heavier frame, larger steel and a stainless internal winder. We build it for owners, clubs, schools, and parks that want the best.

• 225 lbs of structural mass. Close to double the standard model. Under regulation tension the frame stays planted, with no sandbags, ground anchors, or added weight.
• 3″ square frame rails in 3.5″ connectors and center. The frame steel is roughly double the dimensions of our standard system. Bigger steel handles tension and impact with more margin.
• Stainless steel internal winder. Sealed inside the post, never exposed to weather or tampering. Stainless gears resist corrosion and hold their geometry for years longer than brass or galvanized winders.
• No wheels. This version is built to stay on the court. If you’ll be moving the net between courts or in and out of storage, choose the With Wheels version.
• Same regulation play, same setup. Same USAPA tournament dimensions, same supportless 22′ span, same 6″ ground clearance for balls to roll under, same modular 5-foot section breakdown.

Steel vs. Aluminum

Why steel? Why not aluminum?

We build with steel, not aluminum. Here’s why.

• Aluminum flexes under tension. Steel doesn’t. Steel is roughly 3x stiffer than aluminum.
• Aluminum frames bend permanently when dropped or struck. Steel takes the hit. Portable nets get moved, dropped, and bumped. Steel absorbs the impact and stays straight. Bent aluminum stays bent.
• Aluminum doesn’t rust, but it tarnishes and pits. The dull, chalky finish that develops on aluminum doesn’t polish off. Powder-coated steel, kept up, looks like new for years.
• The tennis and pickleball industries use the same equipment standards — and both standards are powder-coated steel. Aluminum isn’t used at the commercial level. There’s a reason for that.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to set up?

First-time assembly takes about 30-45 minutes. After that, breakdown and re-setup take 15-20 minutes.

Is this regulation for tournament play?

Yes. Built to USAPA specifications — 22 feet wide, 36 inches at the posts, 34 inches at the center.

How heavy is it? How do I move it?

The system weighs 225 pounds and has no wheels, so plan on two people to move it. It breaks down into modular 5-foot sections for transport and storage.

What’s the warranty?

The Pro Heavy Duty Pickleball Net System includes a 5-year limited warranty on the steel frame against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service. Full component warranty terms apply.

Where do I get replacement parts?

Direct from us. We build these nets and stock the parts.

Should I choose wheels or no wheels?

Choose no wheels if the net will be installed on the court and left there. It costs less. If you’ll be moving the net, choose the With Wheels version.

Can I add wheels later?

No. Each system is built for either wheels or no wheels, and the post heights differ between the two.

Can you build a custom size?

Yes. Contact us with your specifications.

How does it ship?

In most circumstances, an order with a quantity of 1-2 nets will ship ground. Orders with a quantity of 3 or more nets will ship LTL freight.
