With internal wind posts, the winding mechanism is inside the post and only the removable cranking handle is on the outside of the post. This design makes internal wind posts a safer choice, since they eliminate the danger of catching fingers in the reel assembly. However, they are typically more expensive. Century and Wilson do offer an external wind post that includes a ratchet guard as part of the reel assembly. The ratchet guard prevents the possibility of getting a hand or face caught as the reel spins, thus making it safer than other external wind posts.

Our top-of-the-line post, the internal wind Royale post (see below), is available as either a 3" round or 3" square post. We also offer 2-7/8" round internal and external wind posts and a 2-½" internal wind post. The shape and size of the post is a matter of personal preference or the requirements dictated by the existing sleeves in the ground.

Black or Green

Color of the posts is a matter of personal preference and is often chosen to match the color of the facility's fencing, windscreens and nets.

We strongly recommend post sleeves as they allow the posts to be removed during the off season or for alternate uses of the area. Sleeve covers prevent dirt and moisture from falling into the sleeve when the post is removed.
