Jugs Sport Supply Group 1159943 38 x 38 x 2.5 Jugs Instant Screen

Outstanding Net!

Strengths: Large size, ball collection pocket, pitcher's target, heavy-duty netting, 1-yr warranty, Jugs name, stable base (won't blow over), excellent staking system, easy to set up/take down, stores easily

Weakness: Net is difficult to put in carry bag since there are no zippers. Doesn't com with instructions to set up/take down. Pitcher's target get knocked out of position and does not form a perfect rectangle

I love this net. Not only is the price great, but for a portable net, this is the best one out there. It's size is HUGE (7' x 8').

I love this net. Not only is the price great, but for a portable net, this is the best one out there. It's size is HUGE (7' x 8'). It has a stable base and won't blow over in the wind, unlike other nets. If necessary for very windy days, there are four heavy duty stakes included that easily screw into the ground. They are very easy to install. No hooking them just right through multiple holes and hammering them into the ground. The netting is very heavy duty, unlike most nets, and it comes with a one-year Jugs warranty, which has excellent support. You can get the instructions on how to set this up and take it down via the website, either in pdf format or via a quick-time movie. There is a large ball collection area so the balls don't go bouncing everywhere, and there is a nice high-visibility pitcher's target. One person can easily set this up and take it down by herself, and it fold down into a nice 37" circle for storage, in its own bag. It takes a few times to learn the procedure, but from there on it is easy. Watch the movie on the website a few times. The only bad thing is the net is hard to fit in the bag since there are no zippers, so you have to kind of fuss with it for a while and pull hard, which may eventually damage the bag. And it doesn't seem to come with paper instructions. You have to go to the website to download them. And the pitcher's target is flimsy, as it gets knocked around by the balls hitting it and gets out of position. It is also all bent up, so it is hard to get it to sit in a perfect rectangle.
