Although it is very good quality, with a thick plastic body, for exactly the same reason it is perhaps the worst net I have ever had. It is extremely heavy, making it practically impossible to use for more than 3-5 minutes, especially when you try to catch leaves that are far away; the overextension of the pole creates leverage and the excessive weight of the net makes it impossible to use. I have exactly the same one, but with much lighter plastic, and it is perfect; however, this one is practically impossible to use. Better get a simple cheaper one to do your job. I still use the old one with holes in the net rather than the new one!!!

It lasted for 3 seasons. After that, it started to tear even though after each use I rinse it with fresh water and before storing it for the winter I wash it with soap and dry it with a towel, not in the sun. It was worth the money.
