Goalrilla Basketball Yard Guard Easy Fold Defensive Net System Quickly Installs on Any Goalrilla Basketball Hoop

We bought this yard guard to avoid our ball rolling down into a wooded area that has tons of poison ivy which it had been doing regularly when we first got the hoop. Set up was easy on our Goalrilla FT60 hoop, not sure how it would fit with other brands but it does come with a variety of different size adapters for various pole diameters. It stops the majority of deflected passes and missed shots and folds up quickly against the pole for times when we are not using the court (which is usually when we don't have kids, nephews and nieces and others who like to play basketball over). I was concerned that the yard guard might not look attractive but it looks fine. We are very pleased with this purchase after a couple weeks usage and have only had one ball make it to the poison ivy - that from an attempted bounce shot in the game Horse. Will see how it stands up over time.

This works great and is a high-quality product. It helps block the basketball from going into our yard. My son loves it. It has good length and height so that it protects the ball from going into the yard. It was so easy for me and my son to assemble. It works so good. Goalrilla is a great brand it this is another great product by them. It also came with a bonus little pad. The net is very strong. Very high quality metal for the poles. I recommend this to anyone who has the same problem as I did.

My son and I installed it in about 45 minutes on a Proformance 660. I was concerned we would have issues since it wasn’t the hoop from goalrilla but installation and use is fine. We were even able to put the pole pad back on that we bought for the Proforma. We can’t use the bottom pad we bought but the yard guard comes with a small bottom pad which works. Goalrilla poles must be a bit taller or the triangular base on the bottom is a bit shorter so we have a little extra netting on top but not a big deal. Instructions could definitely be much better but after a few readings we figured it out. PS instructions state that the poles are a tight fit in the brackets. That was not true for us. Either they changed the brackets and neglected to change the instructions or ours were not made right but it wasn’t a problem.

This net does exactly what it’s supposed to do when it is in tact, but unfortunately it is cheaply made, despite its high cost, and this is the second one that we have had fall apart in less than a year. The latest net stated falling apart around 6 months, starting with the straps to secure it when not in use falling off, the rods in the base continually coming loose, the net coming loose from the base. Now the top right side has torn from the anchor at the top, resulting in many of the basketballs getting past the net, and unfortunately at our house that means they roll down the hill into the river and we have lost countless basketballs. We don’t have another option other than to keep purchasing these, but it is beyond frustrating and very costly.

Easy to install. We had this up for 9 months and it has endured several snow storms and high winds and held up nicely. My son actually ran into the net and the rod that opens the system into a "bat wing" through the middle shattered. I contacted the company and they responded within 2 hours and replaced the part. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT.

The product itself is great and works as it should to return the ball, but the installation will have you saying to your son or daughter, "Hey, just get better at shooting so you don't have to go chase the ball, cuz I am not going through installing it, and then all of a sudden, it eases up, and you are done, but it took all of an hour and a half to get it right" Love it now that it is done and the ease of it folding up and out of the way is a big plus.

I have a ProShot basketball system and this was the closest I could find for a yard guard. While not designed for the pro shot (6” x 6”) post, it fit on. The only part that doesn’t have as much tension is the net connection at the top of the post. Not a deal breaker, and still does what it’s supposed to. The bottom pad fits ok, but the proshot one can be cut to work still Take some time to line up your pole pad and the Velcro straps for the yard guard to get the best fit. You will have extra parts as they give you multiple mounting bracket sized hardware.

We’ve had this net for a few months and it has held up wonderfully. Through cold, insane heat, and crazy rain/wind storms, it has budged or broken. My husband installed and said it was a bit more complicated than expected but not complicated enough to reduce star rating. My son loves it and I love that balls are no longer banging into our privacy fence- a win!
