Is this net stiff or does it bend in the water.

I got two years of daily use out of it including using it to hang lights in a palm tree.. (which caused its early end now that I think about it).. for the price you can't beat it.. the only real thing that frustrated me was the locking grips tend to give over time.. I had to put plumber's tape around the pole under the grip to get a more permanent hold on it..

It's really thin wall aluminum. Mine broke in about a weeks time. I'd spend the extra money on a more heavy duty pole.

It's OK in my 16-foot pool but certainly at it's limit. I would say it is fine for 14'-0" or smaller pools but I would get something a bit heavier for anything bigger.

Yes, it will bend. When you receive it, it's like a piece of material,sewn flat. It doesn't get big and not bendable until it has water in it. Mine had water in it, I left it on the patio until it was dry, and was able to fold it up into a square and put it in a plastic container for storage.

No, the cable is not stiff at all. The flat shape of the cable was a selling point for me since the shape resists tangling and tying into knots.

It is pretty stiff. It takes both my hands to bend it. I attached mine to my computer chair in the house to hold my keyboard. I love it.

It has some bend but it really is not flexible. you dont want to much flex or you can't put pressure to work the muscle.

It is firmly bent and pressed flat over itself. (Not rolled so no little curve for water to get trapped.) I have not had any problem with water getting into the bend.

It appears to made of strong cord that is slightly stretchable, could be a synthetic material that is strong. It is not rope strands and stands up well in weather. I have installed outside as a basketball court net to keep the ball from bounding out of the court. I have had no problem with it breaking or over-stretching.

Cable is quite durable when flexed (though I've only had it a few weeks). The netting surrounding the cable provides better insulation and helps reduce wear, so I guess it'll depend on how bent you need the cable to be for your application.

Its pretty rigid. It bends a little more then PVC, but not much.. The out tube, yes, thats very flexible, but the suction tube is somewhat rigid. Hope that helps.

No, it does not bend unfortunately. It is really sturdy but only good if you need a straight pole. I couldn't use it for my tent.

The tubing is quite rigid. It does not bend or kink easily. I don't have the means to measure a quantifiable quantity to rigidity, but it definitely would take some effort to bend.

It is a litttle stiff and doesnt really bend. It just sticks nicely to window. It covers ok but can be adjusted on the window.

Mine is a little stiff. I think it's suppose to be so it doesn't move by accident.

Hi Girard,The netting is soft and very flexible, like mosquito netting. I needed an 8x8, couldn't find the right color anywhere, so ordered the 10x10. Quite happy with it.Mike Foley

We have had it all summer. It has held up well. My boys (13 & 16) plus friends have been playing soccer or practicing goal kicks. So far we have no bends. The wind did tip it over once, but it has held up fine all summer. We only got the goal in April of this year.

The net is very flexible, can expand twice it size you just need to be sure there,s the small clips were to attach the net

Unless you have support on either side of the waterfall within a foot I would say, it will probably drag the net into the water.
