I bent the bottom rod just past where it slips thru the front of the net at a 30 degree angle or so til it intersected with the door bar, and then bent it straight again parallel to the door bar so that the rod would line up and slide into the weld on bushing on the door bar. IIRC I had to buy a longer rod to do this, but they are available at any Home Depot or similar center. For the back of the bottom rod I welded the bushing to the main bar that goes across the main hoop.
