Product Overview
The Douglas PPS-22SQ Premier Portable Pickleball System is designed for indoor or outdoor courts where permanent installation isn't desired, offering durability close to that of a permanent net system. Constructed from 3 in. square, 11-gauge heavy-duty steel posts and a 3/16 in. wall 11-gauge steel base frame, the system is finished with a black baked-on polyester powder coat for rust resistance and year-round durability.
Unlike many portable systems, the PPS-22SQ uses a Velcro center strap to maintain the proper 34 in. center net height required for regulation play, paired with the PN-30 Douglas Pickleball Net that requires no lacing rods for attachment. The system's flat stabilizer legs extend only 12 in. on each side of the court, allowing greater range of play and improved player safety compared to bulkier portable bases.
Assembly is straightforward, with post and base frame components sliding into place and secured with pre-drilled set screws, requiring only a couple of tools. The internal self-locking gear mechanism operates at a 30:1 ratio for smooth, easy net tensioning, while a transporter wheel assembly and lift-assist handles make the 215-lb system easier to move and store.
