The Net Protect is essential for my setup to stop the ball from going down a pretty steep hill. Had it installed a month ago on my asphalt driveway and so far so good. It looks awesome and has functioned perfectly. Only reason I gave 4 stars is there is no "easy" way to bring the net up to protect it during heavy wind storms. So far we have had a few windy days and it has held up perfectly. Crossing my fingers that this continues to be the case.

Works perfectly. Very sturdy. Has stopped so many basketballs from going into the blackberry bushes.

Does it's job. I upgraded the net hooks to 18inch steel rods because the net is on a hill. $20 upgrade makes the net do its job.
