KidKusionRetractable Driveway Guard, Black, 18' | Driveway Safety; Outdoor; Barrier; Adjustable

Bought these to help keep basketballs, volleyballs from rolling onto the street. We live in relatively quite neighborhood. It was very easy to set up. We have had no issue with the quality. It works great my daughter can easily set up and put it away herself.

Pros- Very easy to install. Very easy to use. Quality seems good and I'm hoping it will last. Customer Support was very quick to reply and helpful (I had asked if they offered any type of expedited shipping, but the product shipped the very next day after ordering and did arrive sooner than estimated).Cons- Even fully extended the fencing is saggy. While very slowly and carefully retracting the fence back toward the base it gets itself caught at the end which is a little annoying.Overall I like it and would recommend it for providing a clear boundary to an area. Its also easy enough for anyone to install and use.

This is great for me. It keeps my large dog out of the neighbors yard. My dog likes it too since now he's not chained up with the possibility of tangling. He's still getting used to it - right now he sits at the fence and waits for me instead of relaxing in the yard.It is very easy to put up and take down, and very flexible where I put it, so I can move it's location easily, just by going to the local hardware and buying more plastic tubes as stakes. It has two poles, one for either side of the driveway, and they easily fit into the plastic tubes which I pounded into the ground. The product is tensioned so it easily goes back by winding up. Be careful not to wind it too high or low when retracting it or the netting may fold in the tube.Yes, there is about 4 inches below my net, because I didn't put the stakes all the way in the ground. I want it up a little so if a cat enters that it can get out without my dog trying to eat it. I have a wonderful dog, he won't try to run through the fence or eat the fence. If your dog is aggressive, a digger, or determined to get out, then this fence isn't for you.I personally think the fence is fine for balls, you have to put the poles fully in the ground and it should keep anything in that is larger than an inch or so above the ground.This is a medium to light duty plastic netting, like you would use in a window screen. If you want it for kids, I'd be worried about them playing with the netting and trying to bounce off it and then hurt themselves or the netting. Get a heavy duty plastic or metal fence instead. But if you have good kids and just want to make sure they remember not to chase a ball into the street, then this should be excellent.I don't have a good feel for how long the winding mechanism will last. May or may not last a long time. My feeling is that it should last a while if I am mindful of how I rewind it every time.

The product is very easy to install - only need about 10 minutes. It extends out to the full 25 feet easily. The only problem is in retraction. While it does retract easily, after 2 or 3 times, the netting begins to bunch up and it will not retract fully. It leaves anywhere from 1 - 3 feet hanging and unretractable. There is no fix - I tried and now it is completely useless and I have to purchase a new one. :(

I live in a mobile home park, so traffic is always a concern with cars coming and going obviously, neighbors and what not, and my son is 2yrs old and when we go outside lord knows he likes to run into the "Street" of the Park, he gets a kick out of not listening, just like your kids, so in order to let him outside to play while I wash my car or work around the house, the yard or just to play in the driveway, whatever the case may be, I needed something like this, I used an Auger Drill bit to drill the holes for the PVC pipe provided in the kit made it very easy, you can probably use a regular drill bit if you have one big enough. But once that was done slipped in the pipes and rest was history, keeps him in the driveway and balls, he occasionally gets a thrill out of throwing stuff over the fence on purpose and making me go get it, but other than that it works and looks good, when we are done playing outside I remove it and put it in the shed so it doesn't get stolen, that's probably the best part, getting to remove it and store it away. Next time I'm out I will take a picture and edit and post it here.

I wish I could rate this product a 0. I received the "gate" in and proceeded to set it up. First of all they send you two little PVC pipes that are suppose to be hammered into the ground. They are blunt, there is no way to hammer it into the ground. So then I tried digging a hole and of course when I got it deep enough the PVC pipes are just too flimsy to hold the whole thing up securely. I pulled the net out and had it set up but because the PVC pipes cant hold the weight the whole net was flopping down. When I went to retract the next back into the fixture the net immediately got tangled inside. I requested a return for the item. I had a return window and I returned it within that window, granted it was on the last day of the window but the company tried to claim it was outside of the window. The "company" returned 9 dollars of my 135 dollar purchase. They said that it was dirty and the net had holes in it and the metal pool was bent, so it was obvious that I was using it and trying to scam them. Well it's dirty because I attempted to set it up. It is made to be outside. Of course its going to be dirty when I have to dig a hole to set it up and its outside. I live on a dirt road. The holes in the net were from the net getting tangled inside of the fixture. I tried to pull it out to untangle it but its so tangled in itself that it ripped holes in the net due to a very bad design. I don't know how the metal pole got bent but I assume that it was during shipping on the way back to them. I wish I could have used it for months like they claim I did but unfortunately I could not even use it once. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!! It will malfunction immediately and they will refuse to give you a refund. This company is a scam and it should be avoided. Save yourself money and look for different options.
