Has anyone had this enclosure for over a year? I'd love to find a good quality net, after going through many over the years.

It's been close to a year and has handled great. The foam pads and netting are in good shape, I see no signs of wear from age.

This will be our 2nd full summer with the net up. We have an unforgiving back yard on the south side of our house. Everything gets hammered by the sun back there....so far so good. No complaints. My kids are still little so they aren't very hard on it. But we do have lots of other kids who use is pretty heavily. Even the zipper enclosure has held up from all the tugging, climbing in and out etc. Very happy with it overall!

We have had this a year in Minnesota, however we have winter and I only have it up for 5 months because I put the whole tramp away for the winter. I believe it is very good quality and would recommend it. It looks brand new still for me after I put it back up this spring.

I haven't had it for a year but it is the cheapest net I have seen. I purchased it this year and the quality is terrible. I don't think it would stop a child from falling off at all. I am already shopping for another net for my trampoline.

My Husband had the SAME Problem after only a year! He does use it everyday for work. I was VERY unhappy it only lasted that long, as it was pricey! I got him another this Christmas though...only because he loves the storage and netting for other items he takes...(it's his Man-Purse I think)!

I have not had that problem, but I did have to add a length of tubing when I first got it so it would cover properly. You might have to try that or maybe try less tubing. I hope you solve the problem. I have been extremely pleased with mine. It is so much better than the original Barracuda.

I also have a Linksys refurbished item...it came with protective plastic, but was not in the original box. While it looked perfect, I'm sure that it was used for some period of time. Works well for me, though. My last router was also an "open box" item from a local electronics store, it was fine, too. You just have to be sure to do a "factory reset" before working with them to clear any existing settings.

Yes, it's a quality table, although ours came with no net. The table is heavy, but durable.

I had a similar issue. I ended up drilling the hole a little larger and used a butterfly/toggle bolt. It pulled up tight and has been working well for about 6 months.

I leave mine up at times and take it down when real bad weather..........sometime I leave it up during rain. Holds up very well but if you leave it out for long, heavy weather times, it will show use. Still, even if I replace every 3-4 years, great net!!!! maybe wash it down if it gets soiled.

I have not had that problem with my net. But the bottom of the net does slide up on us a little. I am looking for a small plastic cap to put on the end of the pole so I can attached the net to it to hold it down.

I've only had this for a year. If you get a lot of snow and ice, the netting will sag. It really depends on how you use it. I covered bushes and the netting held up fine. It will blow away so you need to have it anchored.

I never got a net but you could probably get a decent one from dicks sporting goods or golf galaxy. I don't think I would order one online. Good luck

It's a very poorly constructed mono net. You are much better off with a Betts. You will pay a bit more but the quality difference is huge

My son is in high school, and he uses it all the time. Ideally, I would have liked the net to be thicker, but as of yet there are no rips or tears (we have had it for 9 months). The only thing that I do not like is the way you have to attach. The lacing part is fine, and probably the same with all nets, but they give you these strap-like devices for the corners, and they just don't stay in place. Not a big deal, but an annoyance. All in all, for the price, it is worth it.

I've only had it for a year, but started it back up and it is working like a charm again this year. The bugs are really bad here in MA and it did a bang up job last year. It seems pretty sturdy, I pulled it in kind of late last year once it started snowing and it started right up. My mom has them and actually convinced me to get one and hers have worked for at least 5 or 6 years.

Yes..especially once the netting is attached. Mine is easily pushed into proper shape and generally stays that way while in use, however, particularly if it is staked down. It is an annoyance more than anything and I haven't noticed it affecting the performance.

I have used it 10 times and it has not lost its shape like the Nike Net did. But remember when the net does not want to fold just lay it down, line it up and disperse the net so that there are not thick collections. Sometimes you might have to do it twice. Also, I live in Indiana so I make sure that I keep it inside when it is cold outside to make sure that the frame remains flexible. Yes. I plan to hit hundreds of balls into the net this winter.

It will sure hold up. This is a great net. I use it for 11U baseball and 16U fastpitch teams. The system goes up fast and anchors in with four "u" tent stakes. Really compact and is up and down in minutes. The net has plenty of give so that us old guys can swing away!
