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.

The EZ Goal with backstop and targets is a great product at an awesome price. Once put together it is a solid goal yet still light enough to move around easily. It takes a little time to assemble but it is not difficult to follow the instructions. Most of the time is spent weaving the nets onto the frame. The backstop is great for preventing excessive chasing of balls and pucks. The corner targets go on and off easily and quickly for practice or game play. I have not used with a puck yet so I'm not sure how it will hold up against heavy slap shots but I feel it will do well. It folds up relatively easy but not something I would want to do every time I want to use it. To me the fold up option is more for longer term storage.

I don't generally leave reviews, but this is such a good product for the price that I had to. It's easy to setup, but it does take about 2.5-3 hours to lace in the net. Not hard, just time consuming, and you'll get better as you go. Once setup, so goo! It's sturdy, it's light and easy to move around, and one of the biggest things for me is that it fold up really flat quickly, so it's easy to store.If you're on the edge, I hope this review helps push you over to buy it. I had a tarp before and this is waaaaaaaay more fun, which means you will practice more. Getting that "bar down" feedback is so good!

Easy enough to put the frame together but the net was a pain and didn't seem right. At first it was so tight the pucks would come flying out. After a few days it seems to have stretched and its much better. No dents yet, just scuffs. Seems sturdy enough.

The media could not be loaded. Fairly easy assembly and it feels like good quality.As I was putting the nets on I definitely thought they were too small to fit around all 4 sides of the bar BUT trust the process. The nets are supposed to be stretched to a tight position.I think you’re going to get the best bang for your buck with this net

Bought for my son, assembly was a little bit complicated but so durable love how you can fold up so nice it came with back stop so if you miss you don’t dent the wall

This is a high quality full sized net, durable and well made. It has been outside for over a year in Maine. Used daily with pucks and balls and still looks brand new. Very heavy.

Needed a hockey net for my sons outdoor practice and wanted an xl size for keeping more errant pucks from disappearing into the trees. All the used ones I could find were small or still asking $100 for completely beat up frames w/holey nets! This one came quickly and was pretty easy to set up, just takes some time to attach the nets. Also, I made the mistake of not lining up the holes on the side panels w/the main net before tightening everything, so was not able to attach the bottom hole to the net with the screws. I ended up using zip ties which will hopefully hold up over time
