I have three grandsons, ages 3, 7, and 8, that like to play basketball at my house. We live on a busy street, and I am forever having to go retrieve the ball out of the street. I'm always afraid that one of these times, the 3-year old is going to go after the ball himself and get hit by a car.
When I saw an opportunity to review the 20ft. Rolbak Basketball Guard net, I knew I needed this for the safety of my grandsons, and to save me from running after the ball all the time. At 50 something, my legs get tired after several trips!
The guard net arrived in a very timely manner, and well-packaged. We opened it and laid it out to make sure all the parts were there. Then we read the inclosed, easy-to-follow instructions. We only needed a screwdriver (not included) to assemble to posts.
Once the 3 posts were assembled with the inclosed screws, we slid them into the sleeve on the net. I suggest you figure out where you are going to put the net up at BEFORE doing this. We did it in the living room, and then had to take it back apart to go outside.
When you are ready to set the net up, take a hammer or soft mallet, and hammer the stakes into the ground (if your ground is soft, you may be able to push the stakes in by hand). Stand the net up, place the poles on the stakes, thread the ropes through the grommets, and the net is ready to use.
The Rolbak net is 20ft. long and 5ft. high, and it has caught lots of runaway balls, and saved my legs some miles. This makes my playtime with my grandsons much more enjoyable. My 3-year old grandson likes to kick a kickball into the net, because it comes back at him..
I'm sure this net could be used for soccer, kickball, football, or other games, as well as basketball.
Once disassembled, the net comes with a dufflebag, making it easy to transport or put away for the winter. I think we'll take the net with us when we go camping, so that we can set up a play parameter. I'm glad I got the Rolbak net for my grandsons.
