PERFECT for pickleball in the driveway. Easy set up/take down. small and light. May not be sturdy enough for tennis.
So we wanted to play pickleball in the driveway but we could not leave a pickleball net assembled, we don't have the storage space. The usual picklenet or USPA nets (which are actually the same product from what I understand) look like they take a while to assemble, 8 minutes is what I read. That is 16 minutes if you are talking about putting the net up and taking it down. This net is slightly shorter at 18 foot, but is a breeze to put up and down. It has that stretchy bungee cord they use inside tent poles and it collapses like tent poles do. Those protrusions you see on the crossbar are foamy circles with slots to snap the pieces into as you disassemble the net. It ends up being in two connected pieces when you are done, very similar in size to two lighter weight folding camping type chairs you would fold up and put in a bag to carry on your shoulder. The net slips over the end poles. It has a stretchy C shaped clip that goes in a hole in the net to pull some tension. The net is pretty lightweight. The whole system is a bit light (which is nice for assembly/disassembly/carrying) but one time it started to tip in stronger wind although it has not toppled over.For an easy set up take down for pickleball on the go if you are ok with only an 18 foot wide court, this is perfection. The amount of wind it would take to knock this over is probably enough that you wouldn't be wanting to play pickleball anyway which is a game VERY affected by the wind, unlike tennis. The net is plenty strong for a pickleball hitting it even with good velocity.Now, I don't know, but I would suspect that this system would NOT work nearly as well for tennis. I think that the lightweight nature here would be a real problem: a) I don't think the net would last long with tennis balls hitting it-it's pretty delicate b) I could see a tennis ball even knocking the entire net over if hit hard enough and c) tennis is more playable in windy conditions when the net my topple over from wind.Ver másVer menos
