Now, that the home builder is building a house in my hitting path I need to put my net up.

The netting I use is Archery netting and is very durable.It's 10ft high by 30ft wide. Not referring to the black piece which won't be used.

I will be folding the net in half to help prevent any balls breaking through.


Looking for ideas to build a retractable netting posts.. The wife wouldn't be happy if it was permanent.Hence why it's needs to be on posts that can collapse and be stored easily when not in use.

Any ideas how to do this?

Finding retractable poles that can bear that weight, plus the impact of a ball throwing that weight around is going to be tough.


I'm envisioning something like a professional photographer might use for his backdrops, they're spendy, collabsible, and pretty sturdy with a 3-legged base. I don't know how well they'd hold up to the ball hitting it, or any kind of breeze. Amazon.com: Manfrotto 314B Background Support Kit (Black): Camera Photo


The other option, and what I do, is to put eye bolts into the rafters of the house, at the eaves, and use carabiners to hold up my net, at the outside of my shed.

The netting does have eyelet holes every foot or so. I've thought of using those poles that poolmen use to clean pools with.They collaspe ,but unsure of the weight that it can hold.

I've thought about using some of those heavy duty pool patio umbrella stands to hole post upright. Unsure how those would work? Might have to add some cement to them to add some weight to the stands?
