Great net, does exactly what you would expect a golf net to do, and very reasonably priced.

The top bar that holds the net up is effectively just a long modular flexible tent pole, with sharp points at each end, so for outdoor use you just bend the bar down at each end and push the points into the dirt. You can bend it more or less to make the net higher/narrower, or lower/wider.

For indoor use (carpet, concrete etc) there is a modular metal base which the top bar ends plug into - it works fine, it's not strong or thick metal but it does the trick.

So far (limited use) the net works fine with both practice balls and real ones, (including with a driver), but of course you should set it up safely so that if a ball did happen to go through it wouldn't hit the wife, or even worse the family dog. Just common sense. I'm using the Calloway HX practice balls which are heavy enough to feel good off the club but won't kill anyone.

I use mine on the small deck/verandah of a city apartment (!) so I threw away the base, and mounted two 6" lengths of PVC pipe vertically against the walls on opposite sides of the deck so the top bar can plug into each one, then can easily be removed and folded down for storage. Setup and pulldown only takes a few mins.

I don't expect this thing to last 20 years but for the money, it's fantastic.
