I have a driving range mat and impact screen in the garage, but can't use it. Mrs mogs is doing video conferencing in the kitchen all day, and can't have the noise. Might have a ho at the weekend, as I have a few swing thoughts I want to try.

Yeah wood from b and q , a net from somewhere online and a ripstop canvas across the back for impact.
Basically a large square frame with the net over it.

Another option is 3m by 3m wooden pergola and then get the net separately , loads of pergolas on eBay .

did you cement the poles in or just sat on the ground?

 

[robinthehood]

The frame is a cube if that makes sense. Sits on the ground in the corner of my garden. The wood was just the 2.4m treated stuff from b and q. It's probs just 4x2

wondering of plastic tubing would do it, easy to take down and store away after

 

[robinthehood]

Yeah seen a few self builds out of tubing. They look a bit flimsy

 

[patricks148]

all depends on if B&Q are still open

 

[robinthehood]

Mines doing click and collect from the car park. Store itself is closed

Social distancing must make it very difficult for ho's right now. Your wife sounds very understanding

 

[sunshine]

It’s because so many people have bought one. I think 5 of my mates alone have done it

Hope you're on commission!

Same, I use the foam ones. They feel fine when struck which is good enough.

With your ball speed old boy, a couple of drinking straws should suffice

Glad I stood my ground with the wife when we had our artificial grass installed, having a hole put in was a deal breaker.

Kids swing covered with net from pond with a range mat keeps me and the daughter happy.
