Removable Posts for Tennis Court
The Post may be Removed for Mowing the Court or When Not in Use
It is sometimes desirable to have tennis-court posts arranged to be easily removed from the lawn or the court when the grass is being mowed, or during the winter. The method of fixing the posts in the ground, as shown in the sketch, makes it convenient to remove the posts and still gives the necessary stability. A square wooden box, tarred to resist the moisture, is placed in the ground, and the post is fitted into it. The upper end of the box is level with the surface, and when the post is removed a wooden block is fitted into the opening. Removal of the posts permits the mowing of the grass close to them and leaves the place free from obstructions when the court is not in use.—Edward R. Smith, Walla Walla, Wash.
