This net is far and away better than any of the "kit" nets you will find at your local big-box sporting goods stores. It seems well-made all around with tight seams and durable fabric.

Since it is a net only, you will need to have your own post system. Personally, I used metal electrical conduit for posts ( I think I used 1/2" conduit). I placed the conduit (posts) in two standard metal paint cans and poured concrete in each can to secure the posts. Then, I used screw eyelets from my hardware store to which to secure the net. In order to keep the posts standing upright when I stretch the net, I used string tied to bricks on the outside of the posts. So, when the net is stretched tightly, the bricks pull outward to ensure good net tension.

Anyway, back to the net itself -- it comes with all the cords you will need to attach it to your post system. If you want something that will last several years of outdoor use (assuming you don't leave it outdoors 365 days/years), this is a great choice. We bought some of the "kit" badminton sets in the past. The nets and posts that come with those sets barely last one Summer.

Get this net and make your own (more durable) posts, and you'll have something that will last years. If you're using it indoors, this net is still great and should last a long time.

In summary, it's a very good quality net and I recommend it!

The item I received was not the item pictured. The one I received was much cheaper looking than the one in the picture.

We bought this badminton net for our 8 year old daughter's birthday. My husband made poles to go with it. It is a great looking product and we are very happy with it so far.
