My grandsons, and the neighbors children, love to come to my house to play basketball. I'm the only house on the block that has a basketball goal. Unfortunately,  I live on a busy street, and I'm always going after balls that have missed the net. Since the boys are still small, I won't let them go get the balls if they go in the street.

The Rolbak net has saved me from chasing the ball multiple times already. When it is properly mounted, and the basketballs are thrown at least in the close vicinity of the goal, the turn net brings the ball back to them.

The net arrived in a timely manner, and well-boxed. We opened it, and checked to make sure all the parts were included. No tools were needed for assembly.

Now, as far as assembly went, putting the net on the frame was a bit of a challenge.  We had a hard time put the net hooks on the bars after they were assembled.  We just couldn't get the net to stretch far enough. So we ended up taking the frame apart, attaching the hooks, then putting the poles back together. After that, it was pretty easy to put the frame on the goal.

I went to the local hardware store and bought a small bag of play sand to fill the weight pockets. Once these were filled,  we spread the net tight, and the boys were ready to play! They had so much more fun since they didn't have to chase so many balls.
