Product Overview
The First Team Guardian TNSM is a durable and versatile tennis post system specifically designed for surface mount applications, ideal for courts where installing sleeves below ground is not possible or desired. Its posts are manufactured from 3.5" OD heavy duty, 1/4" thick high tensile aluminum, ensuring they remain straight and true to withstand high use and maintain proper net tension without bowing.
The system incorporates an exclusive internal worm gear net tensioner winch, made from heavy duty stainless steel, which offers a clean look, is safe for users, and will not backdrive. Each Guardian TNSM package includes a heavy-duty double top six net with a vinyl coated top cable, along with a white center strap and a Flush Mount Threaded Anchor for complete court setup. The posts feature an adjustable post collar for flexibility.
Finished with a black powdercoat for durability and aesthetics, the Guardian TNSM has a shipping weight of 115 lbs. It is backed by a Lifetime Limited Warranty, reflecting First Team's confidence in its construction, and is available in stock for immediate shipment.
