Devices and associated methods for a portable frame for a sports net are described. In one embodiment, the portable frame for the sports net can comprise a frame including first and second base members with first and second horizontally-oriented openings operable to receive a cross member connecting the first and second base members. The portable frame for the sports net can further comprise first and second vertical openings operable to receive first and second vertical posts held at an angle other than 90° relative to a horizontal plane of the cross member.
Claims14
A portable frame for a sports net, comprising:
- first and second base members with first and second horizontally-oriented openings in the first and second base members, respectively, operable to receive a cross member connecting the first and second base members, and first and second vertical openings in the first and second base members, respectively, operable to receive first and second vertical posts held at an angle other than 90° relative to a horizontal plane of the cross member;
- a cross member comprising first and second outer tenon tongues at ends of the cross member, wherein the first and second outer tenon tongues respectively comprise first and second cross member openings shaped and sized to receive and hold the first and second vertical posts at the angle other than 90°;
- and
- first and second vertical posts operable to fit into the first and second vertical openings of the first and second base members and the first and second cross member openings of the cross member when the outer tenon tongues of the cross member are inserted into the first and second horizontally-oriented openings of the first and second base members,
- wherein the first and second vertical openings and the first and second cross member openings are positioned to hold
- the first and second vertical posts at the angle other than 90°.
