PKLBIG Pickleball System, Inground

OPERATION
1.
Now that the sleeves and sleeve caps are install and the
concrete has cured, the system can be setup for playing
pickleball.
a.
Remove the sleeve caps and carefully place each post
into the sleeves until they contact the ½” threaded rod
in the sleeve. The top of the post should be
approximately 36” above the playing surface.
b.
Rotate each post until the net lacing bars are
positioned towards the court side. See illustration
below.
c.
Assemble the crank onto the winch using the crank
retaining screw.
d.
Unfold the net between the two posts.
e.
On the net hook post, hook the loop in the net cable
onto the post with the cable passing over top of the post.
f.
At the end with the winch, cut off the loop on the net
and tape cut end so it does not fray.
g.
Thread a 2 to 2-½ inches of the cut end of the cable into
the hole in the spool and begin to crank the winch
clockwise until the net cable is lightly tensioned.
h.
Tension the net until the top of the net measures 34”
[864 mm] at the center of the court.
