Cricket Home Ground GS5 Batting Net

The net's ample in size and easy enough to put up / take down (we left ours up through the summer). The net itself is thick and strong so I can see it lasting and all the stitching seems of a high quality. We did have some bad luck with faulty poles but this was sorted with no quibbles and the service was superb. Visibility through the front is great so, basically, it does exactly what you need a cricket net to do and doesn't look too bad in the garden either!

Quite hard to put up but that’s mostly down to poor skills by us.Holds up to a hard ball and is very strong

Easyish to put up - if you've put up a big tunnel tent before it's the same principle. Probably took two of us about half an hour. Poles are sturdy, not bendy fibreglass and once up the whole thing seemed a bit taller than I'd been expecting. Despite that and most importantly though: no balls have been lost over the fence since its been up, compared to the record 3 in five minutes. Boys (8 & 12) have been properly slogging balls rather than having to try and tap them (usually unsuccessfully), and although they're not allowed hard ball in the garden, it's holding up against some hard hit tennis balls. Be prepared to move it around your garden if you have the space and don't want a trench run down your lawn.
