Using this pop - up target goal is easy. First, take it out of the hand - carry bag. Set it up in your garden and use the ground pegs to secure it firmly to the ground. You can flip it over depending on whether you want to use it as a training target or a goal. When you're done with your training, just fold it up and put it back in the bag. As for maintenance, keep it dry and away from sharp objects. If it gets dirty, you can use a damp cloth to clean it.
