Assembling this was not easy - you're given a bunch of black tubes & they're not clearly labeled what is what. I was able to figure this out eventually but if you're having difficulties, check out the listing's video. It shows how it comes together. That said, once it's up, it's a nice unit! It's tall & and an optional a strike zone can be affixed to the net. I'm concerned about the clips used to attach to the net. The plastic used here feels cheap & wouldn't be surprised if it fails eventually. If/when it does, you can probably use cheap carabiners in their place. Maybe I'm not hitting with that much power but I didn't find I needed to use the hooks to secure this to the ground. I like that it came with a carrying case but was disappointed to see a hole near the handle. It's not a dealbreaker but I have a feeling this hole will spread as this gets used. Regarding the tee, the min/max height setting is 30"/40". I typically don't like tripod type tees, especially for young ones learning to hit. The way I look at it, get this for the net & the carrying case... the tee is a freebie that's tossed in. I knocked off a star for the hole in the carrying case, the unclear instructions & the plastic clips. Otherwise, I'd recommend to friends & family.
I got this to have fun at events I host. This baseball one is very easy to setup. Connecting the main supports is very easy by slipping the pools together. Next place the net on the flexible poles and strap it on the bottom. Once up the net is steady. Since I use this in a small are this 7x7 size is perfect, fits great under a canopy. Once done everything fits inside the supplied carry bag which is pretty good. This kit also come with strike zones and a ball holder. Ball holder is built ok but not very sturdy but good for this price point. The net is able to catch a soccer ball. This provides good way to practice at a close range at slow speeds. If you are going to hit the ball with all our strength you may damage the frame and I do not recommend. Sand bags or anchors will help it from tipping over. Overall fun way to entertain and play for prizes. Keep in mind this thing is very large in size. It towers above me and I’m 6 ft tall but fits in front of a 10x10 popup tent keeping guests protected from the sun while using this net. Thank you for taking the time to read my review and photos of this product. I hope it has been helpful in providing you with more information.
Took all of about 5 minutes to assemble, since I had to figure it out. Now that I know how it goes I can have it together in less than that. It's very sturdy on our patio, and on the grass with the spikes it shouldn't go anywhere. It's definitely geared more towards bigger kids playing bigger leagues. However my tee ball son loved hitting balls into it. And for throwing it's good for any age. I took some adult swings at it as well and it had no problem stopping anything I hit, without leaning or tipping at all.
