ABSTRACT:
A driveway safety net. The safety net includes two stakes and a net that attaches between the two stakes. When the two stakes are placed on both sides of a driveway and the net is attached between the two stakes, the net hinders balls and other toys from rolling past the net. In one embodiment, each stake includes at least two prongs that are pushed into the ground when placing the stake. Preferably, at least one prong of each stake is wider in one dimension than in another dimension so that the stake is more resistant to being pulled over in at least one direction than in at least one other direction. Each prong is curved in an arc across its wider dimension.
