Getting deeper into pickle, and it's time for a net. I've played on a variety of portable nets.

My priorities:

1. Under $200
2. Stable - live in Chicago, pay in the wind in the windy city.
3. Center foot
4. Good build quality
5. Prefer supporting quality small businesses

Current picks:

1. Pickleball 3.0 Tournament Net System, with bent legs (stable in wind - I live in Chicago), center foot, and good build quality from my limited use time. MSRP $199, often on sale. I've played on this net a bunch, and like it.
2. Tourna Pickleball Portable Net. I like Tourna as a company, and would be happy supporting them. Feet are not bent. Looks like a decent build quality and good net. MSRP $140. Haven't played it.

Does anyone have/has anyone used the Tourna, Franklin, or Vulcan? Thoughts?

Other portable flat-footed nets without a center foot have a tendency to sag in the middle, I've played enough on these to know that I'm not interested in a net without a center foot.
