You will pour over sizing, material quality, and general appearance issues, but forget about the one thing that could add to your purchase. What would that thing be? It would have to come in the form of a warranty. If you are getting Ace driving range netting, you should be thinking about the warranty that will come along.
I have purchased golf range netting in the past and for the most part, you will get something that is reasonably effective. It will depend on how much it is being used as with anything else, but most of the driving range netting made now should be able to withstand a barrage of golfers coming into the range.
I have had this happen all the time where the netting starts to fray, and I don't have warranty in place. What do I do then? I panic and go out to get new netting which is an investment that I have to make.
I would state that you should look at going with a warranty that is going to at least protect you from damage that should not be happening. Warranty will give you time with the netting and let you relax knowing it will be taken care of.
I would never go without warranty.
