We purchased this for our 8, 10 and 13 year old to play outdoor street hockey, and indoors in our basement with soft hockey puck.  It was very easy to put together and just as easy to pull apart when we needed to pack it up and take it in the car to grandmas. I don't see how its foldable. The boys love it! This net is sturdy, stays together and the ease of being able to pull apart makes it transportable. Its also light enough that kids can carry it where they want it. I will update again in few months to let you know how it holds up. So far its five stars!
