FAQs
Can I leave this outside permanently?
Yes, it can be a permanent fixture, but for longer longevity, it is recommended to take it down during extreme weather or winter months.
Is it suitable for professional bowling machine speeds?
Yes, the netting is specifically tested against powerful impacts from both cricket balls and bowling machines.
What tools are required for assembly?
No additional tools are required; everything needed, including pegs, is included in the package.
Can the net be set up on a hard surface like concrete?
The net requires pegging for stability, so it is best suited for grass or soil environments where the steel pegs can be anchored.
How much space does it take up?
The net measures 5 meters in length, 3 meters in width, and 3 meters in height.
Troubleshooting
Netting appears saggy or loose.
Adjust the tension on the guy ropes and ensure the fiberglass poles are fully locked into their clips.
The structure feels unstable during use.
Verify that all heavy-duty steel pegs are driven into the ground at a 45-degree angle for maximum grip.
Difficulty collapsing the poles.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the joints of the poles and remove any tension from the net before attempting to fold.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the net involves unfolding the fiberglass pole framework and anchoring it to the ground using the provided steel pegs. To ensure compatibility with different surfaces, always choose a flat, level area of grass where the pegs can penetrate deeply. For care, keep the net clean by removing debris such as leaves or twigs after each use. Before storing the unit in its carry bag, ensure the netting and poles are completely dry to prevent mold or mildew growth. Regularly inspect the netting for any small tears after intense sessions and check that all pegs are still driven securely into the ground to maintain maximum safety.
