EZGoal Hockey Folding Pro Goal with Backstop and Targets, 2-Inch, Red/White

Don't waste your time buying the cheaper lighter hockey goals. The EZ goal ROCKS! Upon unboxing, assembly was daunting, and the fact that I had to lace the net by hand was quite frankly a pain. The pieces all went together well. The only thing I did wrong first time around was assmebling the back base of the goal frame (white curved tubes). These are precision fit pieces, so if you are struggling to get the whole thing to come together, you may have mixed up some pieces. I said the net was a pain to lace. It took a while. But it was therapeutic, and as I felt the quality of the netting, I had no doubt that this was by far better quality netting compared to my PVC tubing net purchased at Dick's Sporting Goods. I have seen reviews that say that excess tension can cause PUCKS to tear the net. Well, for street hockey, this isn't an issue. And even if you are an advanced player, with adequate slack, this will take slap shots well. Weight IS an issue, and once put together, you cannot transport the net separate from the backstop. Somewhere I saw an estimate of about 60lbs assmebled. the Box itself is heavy, but when the net is assebled its heavy and also spread out. So moving this bad boy around does take a lot of muscle. But the backstop ingeniously folds (read instructions carefully) to make it somewhat more compact. The side backstops fold in, but do not (from what I can tell) lock. As I moved it around, the two side panels had a tendency of opening up, so if you like to move it in the closed position, invest in some bungie cords and tack them to each other or something... And I believe the company sells rollers to attach to the front posts. I don't have these, but just keep in mind, These probably only allow you to roll the unit front-to-back. I have the net/backstop sideways in my garage, so it prob wont help me anyways. One thing you may notice, is depending on how you knotted the netting/backstop, you may get some slack forming over time. Just from folding and unfolding, the top backstop net now sags about 2 inches from the edges. Not a big deal, I can simply add tension. But it can/will happen. To me this is such a minor thing, especially since in one product, I get a great quality net, backstop, AND CORNER TARGETS! Forget about it. this is a winner for the price. Finally, the powder coat on the net is not very thick. This is my first season with it, and I haven't taken it out in snowy weather, but once it starts to get exposed to the elements, I will be cautious about corrosion.

Great quality, especially for the price. I’d recommend this for any hockey lover who doesn’t want to bust out a neighbor’s window.

I'd been considering getting this net since I got my son interested in hockey, and couldn't pass on the recent sale price. Assembly was pretty straightfoward, everything basically clicks into place. Definitely set aside some time for attaching the net to the goal and backstop, though, as that's where you'll spend most of your assembly time. We've put a few hundred shots on goal since we got it set up and it's pretty solid. It's definitely got scuff marks on the pipes from puck bouncing off, but no dents. It folds up pretty easily for moving around the garage or into the back yard, and folds pretty flat, as well, so for our house it slides up against a garage door when we need it out of the way. It's easy enough for me to carry alone, as long as I open doors ahead of me if I'm carrying it through the house to the back yard. I personally wouldn't put any slapshots into it, as I imagine the pipes wouldn't hold up well to that. But I've put tons of hard wrist shots into it with nary a dent, so it's a great net for all ages. My slapshot is terrible, anyway. Update: as of March 2019, it's still going strong. There are a couple of spots I've mended in the netting, but other than that this goal keeps on going. It survived hurricane Harvey in addition to untold thousands of shots between my son and me! Great buy.

My son wanted a larger hockey goal so that when his shots are off, the goal can still stop the puck and keep it in our basement patio. While the frame was fairly easy to assemble, there were some big pain points in the construction. Namely, the main goal. The pieces snap together and do not require any hardware, but getting the last few pieces to align correctly to connect together became super difficult. It took my kids to push up to get the pipes to be flush to work. This was far more effort than I was expecting and made for a not super fun experience. My most troublesome part of this net was the netting itself. You have to tie the netting to the the frame itself, and that was almost more trouble than it was worth. Weaving the black line between the goal and the netting was tedious, and required two different pieces of string to do. Not only that, but you have to tie secure knots to prevent the net from loosening and falling off. I was a boy scout, but I have forgotten my knot-tying skills and there were no helpful instructions for the type of knots to tie to keep the net tight and catching pucks. My wife and I have both had to retie the net multiple times because of this. Overall, the net framework is nice and sturdy, and the net does a good job at being adjustable, but tying the net to the frame was probably the most annoying part of this build. Be prepared to spend a few hours weaving the net to the frame.

Awesome set up. The goal is great quality for the price and the mesh is so secure and tight that the pucks actually ricochet back to me. I bought the goal with the side and top mesh as well so it took me well over 4 hours to put the whole thing together. Maybe if you’re a fisherman or just know your knots, you’ll be able to do it much quicker. The instructions are horrendous, but if you take the time to tie everything tight, loop by loop, you’ll love the end product. Highly recommend.

A bit time consuming to put together, especially the back stop netting, but this is to be expected. Overall, super satisfied with the product. High quality, heavy duty, easy to fold to put away along a wall. The paint is durable and the piping can take a beating from pucks. They dent but don’t crack.

A little difficult to connect the end pieces (final set up) but other than that, super sturdy, love the netting, great value!!
