Review on 🎾 Aoneky Mini Portable Tennis Net for Driveway: Enhance Tennis and Soccer Skills with Kids Soccer Tennis Net by German Diaz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

IDEAL for pickles in the driveway. Easy to install/remove. small and light. Maybe not strong enough for tennis.

So we wanted to play pickleball in the driveway but we couldn't leave the pickleball net in place, we don't have storage. Regular Picklenet or USPA nets (which are actually the same product from my understanding) look like they take a while to assemble, 8 minutes from what I've read. It's 16 minutes when you talk about setting up and taking down the net. This net is a little shorter at 18 feet but is easy to raise and lower. It has this stretchy cord that they use in the tent poles and it folds up like tent poles. Those tabs you see on the crossbar are foam circles with slots that you can snap parts into when you take the net apart. When you're done, it comes in two connected pieces, very similar in size to two lighter folding camping chairs, which you fold up and put in a bag to carry over your shoulder. The grille slides over the outermost posts. It has a C-shaped elastic clip that fits into a hole in the mesh to make it a little tighter. The net is pretty light. The whole system is a little light (which is good for setting up/taking down/carrying) but one day it started tipping over in a strong wind, although it didn't. ok just the space is 18ft wide that's perfection. The wind it takes to tip this is probably enough that you wouldn't want to play pickleball anyway, which unlike tennis is VERY affected by wind. The net is strong enough to hit a cucumber ball even at good speed. Now I don't know but I suspect this system will NOT work that well in tennis. I think the lightweight nature here would be a real issue: a) I don't think the net lasts long when tennis balls hit it - it's quite delicate. b) I could see the tennis ball even tipping over the whole net if hit hard enough and c) it's better to play tennis in windy weather when the net is tipped over by the wind.

Pros
  • Heavy Duty Surface
Cons
  • Damaged
