Could this work to stop folks from using a basketball hoop? We have trouble with folks using our net who leave food & trash all over.

It would definitely work for a regular sized hoop, and stop anyone from wanting to steal it.

It probably would. However, a vicious dog chained in the area would probably work even better.

Yes it can. Deer Brown middle school in Milwaukee Wisconsin did just that and it was very effective.

Hi- no, it wouldnt stay if you just placed it on top of table. The picture is not saying the whole story. The net is on a spring like mechanism, it will spring back. You definitely need some kind of crevice to hold both sides of net. Unless you tamper with the spring mechanism- in other words, pull it and brake it so it wont spring back. I will say its a great gadget/toy. I play with my kids on dining room table. You need some kind of ledge or crevice so it keeps the net from rolling back. I hope i was able to answer your question and help you.Good luck.

It would not be as effective. It is used mostly as a smacking defense. There are a few YouTube vids demonstrating on how it works.

Yes, it would work great because the baskets are closed on all sides, thus preventing things from slipping out. I use min to store paint and craft items.

I have not used it for that purpose. I think it will work though because the neting is about 7' in diameter with holes about 3/4" in size.

I don't think so but I'm not really certain. I use it over a wastebasket. Whether it does or doesn't it's great.

Yes, it could help. I had droppings under my sink where I keep my kitchen trash can. After using the bags for about 10 days I caught 2 mice in the kitchen and no more droppings under the sink. I use 1 bag under the sink and for the 1st 2 weeks I put the trash in another bag to go outside (double bagged). It works. It's worth trying on shelves but not near dishes/glasses. Find where the mice are getting in.

I believe it would work for that purpose, I'm a big strong guy, I put on gloves and pulled on the netting to see just how strong it was. I could not pull it apart. Almost two years later and its just as strong as the day I purchased it.

I'm intrigued by the idea of a net over my bike helmet. When I slow going up hills or at intersections in the spring, bugs come through the slots of my helmet and I can't hit or scratch them as they enjoy themselves biting my head. Stopping and removing the helmet takes time and lets more bugs catch up. I think I'll try it and see if the air is too restricted. Great brainstorm! Thanks!

I'm thinking it could probably work for that. It's not a super strong net and can rip if pulled on too hard. But, I'm guessing a baseball would be rounded enough and have enough surface area to distribute the impact, that the net would probably be able to withstand it without puncturing. But this is only a guess on my part. For it's intended purpose of keeping birds out of my strawberries, blueberries, and grapes it works really well and it durable. :-)

If it sags you can move poles further apart or tie the top of the net tighter to eliminate any sagging. As a family we have enjoyed playing together and whenever the kids are out playing all the neighborhood kids stop by and instantly a mini tournament breaks out.

Small wastebaskets could be put in it, I think. Or kitchen trash bags. But there's no good way to anchor those, to,ensure that they stay open at the top, unless you improvise something on the back and two sides of each section. Wastebaskets would have to be kind of narrow and wouldn't hold much ...

The net seems pretty durable but i'm not sure how much weight it will hold. You obviously need some method of supporting/attaching the net above the ground. The net was pretty inexpensive, so I would try it.

I would think that it could mess up their wings. I would try some kind of net instead.

Mark - It's funny that you had the same problems I had. I used 8" Black beaded security ties to reinforce the entire back wall of the net. So far it has worked and of couse I continue to reinforce it as I make new holes. I hope this helps.

I think that, although this could be done, the bag would interfere with the spinner closure and might be difficult to remove with garbage in it. I have a step-on trash can in my kitchen that works well to keep garbage in and pets out, if that is your concern.

it would definitely get in the way. The basket needs to clamp onto the crossbars so anything already on the crossbars would get in the way of the basket
