Yup, I've done this too, or in some cases raised the nets upward to the top wire. Simple with ropes that run from the top of a post(on the inside), down under the bottom of the net...then up to the post on the opposite side(outside) through a pulley then back down to the ground where you can reach it. You simply pull on the top and it raises the netting up. Kind of like a theater curtain. You just do one on every pole. It's pretty quick. Keeps things off the ground, and is handy if you have to move stuff in and out on the field. Takes a bit longer since you have it on every pole but if you put a small winch every couple of poles it may be faster.
