For homeowners and recreational players who want to add pickleball to an existing space without permanent installation, a portable net system is often the perfect solution. Whether you're setting up a driveway game on the weekend or outfitting a multi-use court that needs to switch between sports, the right portable net makes all the difference.
EIGHTYNINE Sports offers two portable pickleball net systems — the PX and the Professional Portable Pickleball Net system— each built for a different type of player. Both are well suited to home use and recreational spaces alike, whether that's a backyard, driveway, or shared community court. Here's what you need to know before choosing.
What Is a Portable Pickleball Net System?
A portable pickleball net system allows you to set up and take down a regulation net without any permanent posts or footings in the ground. This makes it an ideal solution for multi-use courts, shared driveways, or any space where a fixed pickleball net isn't practical.
Benefits of a Portable Pickleball Net System:
-
No excavation or permanent installation required
-
Easy to set up, take down, and store
-
Ideal for multi-use courts and shared spaces
-
Available in options suited to casual play or serious, frequent use
Depending on how often you play and how competitive your games are, EIGHTYNINE Sports offers two systems built to match different needs.
EIGHTYNINE Sports PX: Built for Casual Play and Pop-Up Games
The PX Portable Pickleball Net is designed for recreational players who want a quick, lightweight setup for casual games. It features a lightweight aluminum frame and comes with a durable carry bag, making it easy to bring along for pop-up games or store away between uses.
Benefits of the PX Model Lightweight aluminum frame for easy setup and transport Locking 4" wheel assembly for smooth maneuverability, velcro center strap maintaining consistent net height meeting official pickleball dimensions (36" high x 22' long), and includes a durable carry bag for storage and transport.
For casual players who want a genuinely good net without a big investment, the PX delivers reliable, official-dimension play in a system you can set up in minutes and pack away just as quickly.
EIGHTYNINE Sports Professional Portable Pickleball Net: Built for Serious, Frequent Play
The Professional Portable Pickleball Net is designed for players and facilities that want the look, feel, and durability of a permanent installation — without the excavation. Built with 3" square heavy-duty steel and semi-permanent stabilizer legs, it offers the same professional playing standards as an in-ground system.
Benefits of the Professional Portable Pickleball Net Heavy-duty 3" square steel construction Semi-permanent stabilizer legs for added stability during play Meets USAPA requirements Internal self-locking gear mechanism with a chrome-plated gear housing Backed by a 5-year limited warranty — five times longer than the PX
For homeowners who play frequently, serious players who want tournament-level consistency, or facilities that need a net built to withstand heavy, repeated use, the Professional Portable Pickleball Net delivers permanent-installation quality in a fully portable system.
Key Factors to Consider Before Choosing
How Often You Play
If pickleball is an occasional weekend activity, the PX offers everything you need in a lightweight, easy-to-store package. If you play frequently or are outfitting a space for regular, serious use, the Professional model is built to handle that demand.
Your Level of Play
Casual and recreational players will find the PX more than sufficient for enjoyable games. Competitive players who want tournament-standard consistency will appreciate the Professional model's USAPA-compliant construction.
Space and Setup Needs
Both systems are fully portable and require no excavation, making either a strong fit for multi-use courts or shared driveways. The Professional model's semi-permanent stabilizer legs make it especially well suited to spaces where the net will stay set up for extended periods.
Built for Canadian Weather
Both EIGHTYNINE Sports portable nets are constructed with a rust-resistant black powder coat frame, built to hold up through Canadian outdoor conditions. And because EIGHTYNINE Sports is stocked locally in Canada, you're not paying U.S. tariffs or waiting on cross-border shipping to get playing.
Which Net Is Right for You?
The best choice comes down to how often you play and how serious your game is.
If you're looking for an easy, affordable way to add casual pickleball to your backyard or driveway, the PX is an excellent choice. If you play frequently, compete seriously, or are outfitting a facility that needs professional-standard performance without permanent installation, the Professional Portable Pickleball Net is built to deliver.
No matter which system you choose, both are backed by DIY Court Canada's warranty and ready to ship across Canada.
