Sentry is the first pickleball set to feature the ability to quickly switch from pickleball to tennis on multi-use courts. The Sentry top cap telescopes up or down with just the pull of a pin to quickly change net height from 36\" pickleball to 42\" tennis. The unit is constructed of 3.5” OD heavy duty, ¼” thick high tensile aluminum. Aluminum construction makes these posts easy to remove and store, or reset for tennis if desired. The heavy-duty worm gear-driven winch is easy and safe to operate and has a quick detach removable crank handle. Sentry package systems include a heavy-duty, pickleball net made from the same high-quality components we use on our tennis nets.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChoose from Sentry two system options:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSENTRY PKSO includes our exclusive sockets with hinged cover lids.
