Hi Ian,
Thanks so much for sharing your experience!
We really appreciate your feedback — setup can take a bit longer the first time, especially when getting the net tension and guy ropes just right. The good news is, once it’s installed, your Open Goaaal® can stay up year-round and provide endless practice without chasing balls!
For next time, we’ve got a few tips and video guides that make assembly much faster (most families complete it in about 1.5 hours with two adults once they’ve seen the steps):

We’re so glad you got it up — now it’s time to enjoy the fun part: nonstop backyard soccer! ⚽
