Back in September, I put a net on the basketball hoop outside of school. The zip ties I hung it with are rated for 175 pounds, but somehow they keep breaking. I’ve fixed it twice already since September, and yesterday it was in sorry shape.
I went out quickly in the middle of the day yesterday and reconnected the net. Hopefully the zip ties will last. The time between fixes has gotten shorter each time. Maybe I should just commit to doing the work of installing a chain net.
If you install a steel net, your heart will break extra-hard when it fails.
Sorry to be a downer.

All the outdoor nets I’ve seen are chain. I think you’ll need one of those.
Brad, we have this or something very similar in our courtyard at work. Very durable.
