Fantástica portería, la calidad de la estructura es excelente. La red podría mejorar (cuelga de más, no queda como en la foto) pero aún así cumple su función

My son shot the puck at the net and it ripped a hole in the net on the first shot. :( The wind blows the net over, and it is not easy to remove the legs if you want to fold it. It was easy to assemble, but overall not impressed.

I am a beer league hockey player and wanted a foldable net to practice shooting in my garage. Most of the other folding nets I was interested in were really expensive and seemed like they would be really complicated to assemble. This net is not made of metal. It is made of PVC pipe. Assembly takes 5 minutes. Folding this net requires you to basically take the net apart but that doesn't bother me much because I usually just leave it assembled.I use foam pucks to shoot at this (I put a weight on my stick so that it feels the same as shooting a real puck). Foams pucks do not cause any damage to this net. I do not think this net would be strong enough to fire real pucks at it. I was looking at shooting targets that fit this net and discovered that this net is compatible with the Franklin Sports shooting target which is awesome.If you are looking for a cheap net to practice shooting, you can't beat this $40 steal.

Great product! My son loves having a goal to shoot his hockey balls/pucks into! It was easy to put together and seems easy to collapse which is great since we live in a townhouse! It is not foldable persay, but can be dismantled to collapse rather. While it is sturdy and holds up it is very lightweight as well and can be blown over easily, if you put some sandbags in the corner it holds it down really well though! Overall great purchase and would buy another!

Item is as described, I have no complaints. Only thing that would be nice is if included some pvc cement for people that want to make it more sturdy and permanent but you can get that for a few bucks anyway if you wanted. You can also glue only certain joints so it’s sturdier but will still fold flat. For this you would full glue the top corners, only glue the bottom fronts on the side facing towards the back of the net, then the back ones only glue to the back post. You can glue the center pipe if u want to for extra rigidity but then you lose some flexibility once u fold it up. Try taking it apart this way first to make sure it’s what you want.

Net is not staying with frame as shown in the image. Its loose and ball get caught in it. Assembly was easy. Good for indoor play.

I'll certainly be taking the advice of a couple of reviewers and will be gluing the small side poles to the back one as they come out way too easily, but it's a good, basic net. I'm using it to shoot pucks in the back yard in between hockey seasons and it's working out great. I needed to tie up part of the netting as it's a bit too lose and kept tangling the pucks, but it's a multipurpose net, so I can't complain. Setup was actually a little harder than I thought (I generally barely look at instructions) as I had to pull out a tape measure to figure out which piece was what, but otherwise, was a piece of cake. It's sturdy, stable (once I glue in those back pieces) and, for me, was an absolutely perfect purchase. It allows me to get some shooting exercise and practice my aiming. If you're using it for a game, it *is* rather light weight, but that also makes it great for me as I can move it around easily. I didn't give it 5 stars as, well, it's not perfect, but then perfect would cost a LOT more money, and I also don't have a wicked slapshot, so I'm not likely to shoot through the back of it. For the cost though, it's awesome.

The Mylec All Purpose Folding Sports Goal is a big hit with my kids. It was easy to assemble, it is light enough to move around easily--yet stands up to the wind, and it can be "folded" to hang on the garage or shed wall for storage. The PVC framing and netting seem rugged enough to get years of use from it. So far my kids are just using it as a soccer goal, but I can see it working very well for street/field hockey, and for younger lacrosse players that don't shoot hard enough to damage the net. My family and I are very pleased with the goal.

I bought this set in Feb 2008, and I continue to marvel at its durability. It's simply a series of PVC pipes and elbows (so, perhaps I shouldn't be surprised at how well it has held up), but we use the nets for street hockey (balls, not pucks) and soccer quite regularly, at no obvious detriment to the goals. In addition, they stay outside, and have been frozen during winters, and have been run over by players, a pickup truck, a (twice), and an exuberant Weimaraner who was chasing a soccer ball and got caught up in the nets (goal!). The PVC pops out of the elbows every once in a while, but go back in place with relative ease. While the red sleeves have faded quite a bit, the nets have shown no wear.Considering how much stuff gets broken around our house, the $40 spent on these goals has been a deeply gratifying investment.** Update at 3 years of use **We still use these nets at least 3-4 times/week and the goals stay outdoors when not in use. Admittedly, this is not a recipe for longevity, and last week, part of the netting finally gave up and began detaching from the sleeve. Also, in that trouble spot, the sleeve itself is starting to unstitch. There is no damage to the PVC at this point (even though my son takes great enjoyment in scoring on me in games of street hockey and then running his body into the goal). This sort of wear and tear is what we expected 2 years ago, and well placed duct tape has gotten us through very well. So that our 3-year-old goals no longer have to suffer the tortures of the damned, we will purchase another set of these goals in the very near future.** Second update **I recently discovered that Mylec makes replacements nets, and the newly ordered fit like a glove. The goals look brand new and are ready for a thrashin'.Also, it should be said that we've developed a ding in the center PVC bar of one of the goals (it looks like my son may have chopped the bar with a hockey stick). At this writing (more than 4 years since the original purchase), there have been no shattering supports, no rupturing PVC elbows, just good fun.** Third update **(July 2013) Okay, the crossbar on one of the goals finally gave out and shattered. Oddly, a basketball was the culprit. The repairs, however, were easily made by visiting the local hardware store for some PVC -- one important note is that true PVC/Charlotte Pipe is thicker than the pipes used for these goals. I was able to get the PVC into the couplings of the goal, but it took a little work and some dish soap and a rubber mallet. If I wanted to do it right, I'd probably thin the ends of the store-bought PVC, because there's no way that I'll ever get this thing apart now. That's not a problem, because I always leave them assembled.
