Whether you’re setting up for a friendly neighborhood game of pickleball or outfitting a permanent court, you have many net options to choose from.
It all comes down to three key factors:
- Portability
- Durability
- Price
Making a balanced assessment of those based on your needs right now and in the future is the trick to buying the right pickleball net.
We've outlined a few options in different price points and use cases.
But just because you've installed a court doesn't mean you'll always have people to train with. The ERNE pickleball machine is the best machine on the market and it never gets tired and always shows up.
PORTABLE PICKLEBALL NETS
These net options are best for temporary courts, like your driveway or your town's municipal park. You can install them and disassemble them in less than five minutes, and they're affordable compared to most other pickleball equipment.
One word of advice: while we scoured our sources for the highest-quality inexpensive/portable nets we could find, it's not advised that you leave these nets up in the rain or extreme temperature conditions.
Always store them properly when not in use.
Dominator Portable Net
Dominator has been making durable, long-lasting outdoor basketball hoops for decades, and in the past 5-6 years the company has used that manufacturing experience to make pickleball nets.
The Dominator Rolling Portable Pickleball Net is built for players who need a high-quality, rust-proof net with the convenience of mobility. Designed with locking wheels on the frame, this pickleball net on wheels meets USA Pickleball official regulations and takes only 5 minutes to assemble.

JOOLA Symmetry Pickleball Net
The Symmetry Pickleball Net is built for the player who wants the stability of an in-ground net but still needs to pick up and go when play is done.
Your regulation-size net will be ready lightning-quick, as assembly takes just minutes. Set-up is made even easier with a tensioning system that ensures an accurate, regulation height at the sides and middle. You also won’t have to worry about reversed pieces or hard-to-read labels, as the support pole is already connected with durable shock chord.
Whether you’re creating your own indoor or outdoor pickleball court, your Symmetry Pickleball Net is ready to stand up to the bumps and jostling inherent to the game. Its sturdy metal base ensures you can enjoy those exciting net roll plays and never worry the net will fall over in a gust of wind.
Taking down your Symmetry Pickleball Net is just as quick and easy as setting it up -- and is aided by a carrying bag that conveniently holds it all. Weighing under 28 lbs., it's a portable pickleball court you can carry anywhere.

A few companies make small nets that are about half the width of a pickleball court, ideal for setting up in the driveway or back patio. They make it easy to work on your kitchen game without needing a full-sized pickleball court.

Enhance Mini Court
The mini court from Enhance Pickleball consists of a half-sized net and pre-measured straps that create a kitchen line.
