Franklin DinkNet Portable Pickleball Net

The Franklin DinkNet turns a driveway, garage or backyard into a practice court in minutes. It is a 5 foot aluminium dink net built for drilling your dinks, resets and hands at the kitchen line without needing a full court or a full-size net.

On pre-order now, shipping early November.

What it is

At 36 inches tall at the sidelines, the DinkNet sits at the official USA Pickleball net height, so the net you practise over is the net you play over. The frame is a lightweight, weather-resistant aluminium that holds up to indoor and outdoor use.

Set it up and roll it away

A built-in wheel system lets you roll the DinkNet into place and lock it down for a semi-permanent setup, then move it out of the way when you are done. The included Oxford fabric carry bag has its own wheels, so transport and storage are easy.

Who it suits

Any player who wants more reps than their court time allows. Two of you can stand either side and dink for as long as you like, which is exactly what happened when we set our sample up in the office at Hornsby. Don't ring us straight after you unpack it, because you know why we won't pick up.

It is a drill net, not a match net. At 5 foot wide it is built for dink rallies, resets and hands, not full games. If you want to play games at home, our full-size pickleball nets are the ones to look at.

A good gift

If the player in your life already has a paddle they love, this is a present they will actually use, because it goes after the part of the game most people never get to practise. It pairs well with the Franklin Sweet Spot Trainer Paddle, which teaches your hands where the centre of the face is.
