I guess these work as nets, but beware, they do not come with poles. Never assume, you know what happens.................... And I did not see any poles that you can get for these. If anyone knows the answer to that one, please contact me!

The product itself is fine, but the company who sells it is the problem. When I didn't receive the item after two weeks I emailed Douglas Net Company twice, but received no reply. After tracking down a phone number on my own - it is not posted on their Amazon page, look for yourself - the man was very nice, but could not provide a tracking number or any other information about the shipping. When it still hadn't arrived a week later I called back and he again was very nice and agreed to send a replacement, which I promptly received in 4 days. I rate them poorly because of failure to provide tracking information, which is pretty standard practice these days, for failing to reply to emails, and for not providing contact information on their Amazon page. I would not buy from them again.

There's nothing wrong with these nets. They're sturdy and will last and last. However, I wanted something to catch the critters the cats schlepp in through the cat door, and for that purpose, they're a bit oversized. I'd recommend getting out a measuring tape and making sure you want nets of this size. Also, they don't come with a pole.
