Is this net durable enought for outside use?

Yes. We used it to cover our fish pond to block a large heron who kept swooping down to prey on our koi and goldfish. No signs of wear in the year that we have been using it.

I use it to cover an iron gate to stop the cats going into next door's yard. We live in 110 degrees heat and humidity in Africa and it is still going strong after a year. So yes, it is durable!

Very much so. I use mine to top an outside enclosure for my cats. I've had them there for literally years and they're still so strong I can't tear them with my bare hands and my cats can't break them either. They haven't rotted at all. Just gotten dusty.

It's pretty sturdy. As for outdoors--sure but you need a protected outdoor duplex so that it doesn't get wet

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!

Of course. I've been hitting real balls for last 2 years and the net is still in good shape. Overall, it is a great product.

NO! It is not strong enough to withstand weather. It is only for internal (inside buildings, houses, etc) use not for outdoor use.

I would say yes. I am in IL and have mine in the elements, it seems very durable. I love mine!!

No. The net has an open bottom. The idea is that you hang it so there is a bit of slack on the ground that way you don't get any unexpected critters.

I have been using it outside, simply because it's so cheap. 1.5 years later it still works. When it was under a roof overhang, it never failed, ever! Since then I've moved it to a tree and it has been through rain, snow, and freezing rain. The only thing that stopped working is being able to pan up (down and left/right still work), but that might have happened from being dropped.

The poles are pretty solid when anchored, I've had the net for over a year and have no complaints. It's not made to be run into but could take

Ours is going to be kept outside. The only concern I will have is the sun damage to the net material. The frame is aluminum so I am not worried about rust.

I used mine outside just laid a thick tarp down under it and it worked perfectly! :)

you could use it outdoors, but I wouldn't without some protection. See e.g. http://compnetworking.about.com/cs/cablingcat5/f/cat5outdoors.htm

That's a great idea and this net would work perfect for that project. It's sturdy enough. Only suggestion it to buy the net a tad larger than the area you need to cover. Net sizes seem to run a little small.

I bought this as a gift and when I forwarded them your question, here's the response I received: I doubt it's meant for outside use. I think it wouldn't last too long. Hope this helps!

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.

This net is not portable. It is designed to install on a tennis court for permanent use.

No. This would not last outside. The top is wood and the metal is not sturdy enough for out side.
