Franklin Sports Badminton Set - 4 Player Portable Badminton Net with 4 Rackets & 2 Shuttlecocks - Outdoor Backyard, Beach & Park Game for Adults & Kids - Perfect for Family Gatherings, Picnics & Summer Fun

Stuck mostly at home during Covid summer with no gym to go to, I needed some alternatives for exercise, and this badminton set fits the bill. It's easy to set up; the poles consist of 3 connecting pieces of sturdy plastic; you pound the bottom piece into the ground with a mallet, then connect the 2 other sections. The set comes with 4 stakes and anchoring ties (2 for each pole) but I found that the poles were sturdy enough on their own so I didn't bother with the anchoring stakes and ties (makes it easier to mow the grass around the net). The net isn't heavy duty, but it's good enough for badminton and survived a deer running through it overnight. To avoid that happening again I unhook the net from one pole and clump it together at the other at night; it's easy to attach and detach the net. The rackets have plastic handles but are good enough considering the price for the complete set.
