Product Overview

In short

The Jaypro TP278 is an outdoor tennis post set built from heavy wall 2-7/8 in. O.D. steel pipe with an internal, self-locking worm gear winch. It sets the net at the official 42 in. height and is intended for schools, clubs and parks that want a semi-permanent court installation using ground sleeves.

✓ Authorized Jaypro Dealer — ships brand-new with full manufacturer warranty & support

Each post is made of heavy wall 2-7/8 in. O.D. steel pipe, 63 in. long, and is finished in powder coated black or green over a zinc undercoat for outdoor durability. A profile die cast top cap with fixed pulley routes the net cable, and welded lacing rails hold the net cleanly along the post.

Net tension is handled by a solid stainless steel internal worm gear winch with a self-locking mechanism and a removable handle, so the winch stays protected inside the post and cannot be tampered with when the handle is taken off. An adjustable height stop collar makes it simple to return to the official 42 in. net height.

The posts are designed for semi-permanent installation. Ground sleeves with end caps (P/N TP-278G) and nets (P/N TTN-3, TPL-5, CCPTN42) are sold separately, which lets you match the anchoring and net specification to your court.
