Its a 10x20' net, and my garage wall is about 9.5x20.5". I have about 1 foot behind the net. I used wire cable at the top connected with turnbuckles to eyelets in wall studs. That's nice and tight and holds the net up fine.
I installed more eyelets in the wall and used tarp clips every 2 feet down and attached those with bungee balls to the eyelets. I did that on both sides. The bottom is loose, I don't have anything to attach it to down there.
I wanted it to be able to slide it out of the way so i can park the vehicles in the garage. So I will keep one side attached to the wall and then attach the other side with the bungees when I'm ready to use it.
Any suggestions on how to tighten this thing? Its fine along the top and on the sides, but the closer you get to the middle, that's no chance it'll stop a golf ball, it'll go right through the drywall behind it, there's way too much give.
I can add more eyelets to the sides but I'm still not sure that'll work. It was all could do to install the bungees to the tarp clips where they're at. I can't imagine trying to stretch it even more and fold the sides in to shorten it, but maybe if had another person really pulling on the net while was attaching the bungees maybe? I could buy a canvas drop cloth, install some eyelets and attach that to the cable and sides behind my archery net, but l'm not sure if the ball would destroy the canvas or not since the net isn't tight enough to help stop the impact.
I really don't want to move the net another foot or two away from the wall so i can get as much ball reading as possible
