A11N SPORTS Portable Pickleball Net System, Regulation Size with Metal Frame and PE Net, Includes Carrying Bag

We are newer pickle ball players. We play a few times per week, but we wanted the option to practice at anytime. So, we had been scouting nets for a few weeks when A11N offered a sale on their net. We decided to make the purchase.The net arrived promptly and in good packaging. We took it to a local park to test it out. First impressions...- Solidly built, but easy to assemble. We have experience in setting up nets, and the A11N net followed normal assembly. Each piece is numbered, so its clear where pieces go. Each piece has a depressable pin that inserts into its mating piece. We spent about 5-6 min on initial assembly.- Net is tight for the first setup. This took the longest part, but the net will stretch over time.- Center net support is very sturdy ... better than most nets I have played with. The support is a metal tube and base that is added after the base is assembled. No plastic yardstick.- Disassembly was very quick (3-4 min).Quality and Service: We had one quality issue with our net. The piece that secures the net and attaches to the base did not mate properly. The metal tab did not match its hole in the base. The net worked fine, but we wanted it to be right. After notifying A11N of the issue, Harper followed our request. We sent a picture of the misalignment, and they sent both a replacement net tube and a new base. I am very pleased with their service and follow up.Overall, this is a quality net that should last for a long time. We are very pleased customers.

I really like the ease of setting this net up and taking it down and storing it in the carrying bag. It has worked really well while we have been using it and has made setting up to play pickleball very convenient.After a few uses a welded piece did break. We were able to continue to use the part, but I contacted the seller to request a replacement piece.The customer service was great and they promised to send a replacement part at no cost to me. I received the part about a week later. Unfortunately, one end of the part was crushed during transit...so I contacted customer service once again. Again, they were very helpful and promised to send a replacement which arrived in about 4 or 5 days. This piece was intact and we have used it several times without incident.While businesses cannot always avoid product or shipping issues, they can decide how they will treat their customers and respond to these issues. This company treated me well and stepped up when things did not go as planned.I'd recommend both the net and the company!

I have been using this net to play pickleball with my friends over the past month. It is a very sturdy net, which is easy to install and get started with. The carrying bag is helpful to tow it around easily.The only drawback is that it is heavy to carry around, especially walking to parks in NY.

Easy to assemble, really nice carry bag, good quality. We have had a lot of fun with this! It is bigger than I thought but is regulation size. I take it to family gatherings and it gets people moving!

Put the net system up today for the first time. Easy to put up and take down. Quality is great!

It didn’t come with instructions. It is however well constructed and holds up to wind nicely Easy to put back in the x large bag. I would purchase again

UPDATE ON MY REVIEW:A11N was very responsive when I contacted them about the carrying case failure. They are sending me a new carrier. I hope I can get someone to reinforced the zipper area to try to avoid the problem again.We have had this net only since June, 2021, less than 6 months.Due to the poor quality of the carrying case for this net, I could not give this product a higher rating. The net is really pretty nice and easy to set up, but we take the net to the courts once a week and set it up and the carrying case is just not holding up. The edges of the opening were not serged or turned and stitiched before the zipper was sewn in to the case and the fabric has frayed, and it's now falling apart. This carrying case is not handled roughly and the net is always set up by the same three adults.I am going to contact the supplying company and try to get them to replace the carrying case. If I get a replacement, maybe I can take the case to an industrial upholstery shop and have the zipper area reinforced before we start using it.All of that said, a couple comments about the net. We found the poles difficult to fit together initially. The paint made it difficult to easily fit the poles together. We used some spray silicone on the connections and along with the paint wearing off at the connection points, the poles are much easier to fit together now.The next is stretched very tight. Wish there were just a little more ease in the net between the vertical end poles. About a 1/2 inch of extra net would still give a taut fit, but make it more manageable. We can set up one end of the net vertically without removing the net from the pole. But for the other end, we need to remove the pole from the net sleeve, attach the vertical pole and then really lean into the pole to pull the net sleeve over the pole. We don't set up the middle pole until each end is set up.This net is a good value and looks great on the court, but case durability should be considered and additional steps taken to reinforce the zipper area before using the carrying case very much.

The metal tubing on one of the stands was split open. There was no way to contact seller on Amazon. I live in rural area where returns are difficult and repackaging the whole net would have been inconvenient.After A couple trips to the hardware store, I was able to jury rig a fix with hose clamps. I’ve used the net a couple times now and am generally satisfied. It is sturdy and fairly easy to set up and take down. Across the top of most nets is a fairly wide, white strip. On this one, it is black and much narrower, but that doesn’t appear to affect play.UPDATE: seller contacted me after my review and sent me a replacement part, which satisfies me. Thanks.
