Do I need to purchase the ground sleeve separately?
Yes, the ground sleeve is sold separately. Each post size requires a specific matching sleeve: the 2-7/8" posts require the 8302-24, the 3-1/2" posts require the 8303-24, the 4-1/2" posts require the 8304-24, and the 5-9/16" posts require the 8305-24. Make sure to order the correct sleeve for your selected post model.
What is the difference between galvanized steel and aluminum posts?
Galvanized steel posts are heavier and offer exceptional structural rigidity, making them ideal for permanent, high-traffic competition courts. Aluminum posts are lighter - often 40-80 lbs less per set at the same diameter - making them easier to handle while still providing competition-grade performance. Aluminum is also naturally corrosion resistant, which can be an advantage in humid or coastal environments.
Can these posts be used for both volleyball and badminton?
Yes. All models in the Deluxe Competition Post Set are designed for use with both volleyball and badminton, featuring adjustable collars that accommodate net height adjustments for each sport.
How does the powder coat option work, and what colors are available?
Powder coating is applied in-house by PW Athletic, which allows them to maintain quality control and offer the finish at a lower cost than outsourced coating. Over 25 colors are available, including Navy Blue, Royal Blue, Black, White, Hunter Green, Red, and many more. Select the "Powder Coated" version of your model when ordering and choose your preferred color.
Is a center post available for two-court setups?
Yes. While posts are sold as pairs designed for a single court, a center post option is available that allows a single shared post to serve two adjacent courts. Contact us for details on ordering the center post addition.
What net tightening and tensioning hardware is included?
Post B comes standard with a removable net tightener with collar and a side pulley with collar, giving you the tools needed to achieve proper net tension. Post A includes brace bands and S-hooks. Together, the pair provides a complete hardware setup for professional net installation.
