Park & Sun SportsTournament Flex: Portable Outdoor Volleyball Net System

I just bought this for a party at my house over the weekend, and while unfortunately it was shipped out late, the net itself is terrific. I've only had it up for a few days though, and it hasn't been windy or raining much lately, so we'll see how it stands up to the elements.PROS: - HUGE NET! - I guess I didn't realize it when I bought it on Amazon, but this is a regulation Volleyball net - 30 feet long! - Mostly Easy to set up - I laid out the poles, unfolded the net, lined up the ropes for the stakes, put the net on the poles, and was able to set up one pole at a time for a single-man operation. It took me over half an hour though, and if I had help I'm sure it would have taken me under 15 minutes - The stakes for securing the poles were pretty long and secure. - Includes volleyball and pump with two pins - Comes with a black carrying case - Includes lines for the field and mini stakes to secure everything. - Not plastic - metal poles!CONS: - I'm a little disappointed with the endcaps for the poles. On the top there's just a plastic stopper. I'm not sure if it'll stay on to deal with the elements, and I'm sure water will get through and cause problems. There are two loop-type screws on the top for securing the net to the pole and the stake lines to the pole, and those don't seem to be protected against the elements either. I'm expecting those to fail at some point. I'm not sure if the pole itself is weatherized at all, either. The bottoms of the poles are simply plastic feet. I was hoping for a tapered edge to really secure the poles into the grass. - I'm sure the poles are "metal", but they seem kind of flimsy. - The pump is somewhat flimsy and the pins didn't screw in well. - Didn't include badminton gear - I bought four franklin badminton racquets and shuttlecocks on Amazon and now the set is complete. - Not completely sure if this is worth the money ($150ish), but it beats the store price (over $200)Ultimately, I'm OK with this set. I noticed there were not many recent reviews so hopefully this helps those of you looking for a decent outdoors net system. I worked at a summer camp and this is clearly not the same caliber setup, but it's... decent.I'd be much happier if, given what you get, it cost $100, or if the price was the same but it answered my concerns better.I'll update this review at the end of the summer and the fall and let you know how it turns out.

Pretty nice net for the price. The aluminum poles are a little thin but seem strong enough. My daughter's team practices indoors at a basketball facility with no net so I needed to come up with a solution that was portable. I chose this net system other the others because it came with two-piece poles, which I figured would be easier to setup/tear down every practice.For the bases, I use an umbrella holder with 100 lbs of sand bags on each side. I put them on a piece of plywood (which I glued foam rubber to the bottom so it doesn't scratch the floor). I also use ratcheting tie down straps as guy-lines to keep the poles straight when the net is at tension.All in all it works pretty well and with some help from parents, we can setup/tear down in under 5 minutes each time. There's a little bit of sag in the middle but not bad considering the portability of the whole system.

After a couple attempts at making a cheap volleyball set from Big 5 made of PVC pipe work (both sets were about $70 and shattered when the ball hit the net), we decided it was time to invest in a higher quality set that would last us well into the future. So glad we found this set- the unit was easy to set up (I was told, my husband did this), the poles were incredibly sturdy even when the ball was spiked directly at them, and the net itself is thick and durable. We also didn't realize that the set came with court markers that allowed us to use stakes and rope to delineate where the boundaries were, which was an awesome convenience at the park. Last game (with a different set), there were countless time-outs when boundaries were questioned and constantly moved around. This was great. Putting it back in the carrying case was simple, albeit a bit of work for a handful of people. Love the set, though. So glad we got it!

I bought this for my daughters birthday party. She has been playing volleyball competitively for four years. I left it up for two weeks after. Not only did this net stand up to a bunch of rowdy teenagers, it stood through two hail storms, multiple downpours, and a few windy Midwest tornado warnings. I was hesitant about the price, but with this type of durability, I’m sure I’ll get every penny’s worth. Would recommend and would buy again.

I have had this for a over a year. Left outside for all winter (Ohio) and eventually one guy wire snapped when we were moving it. Suggest bringing it inside for off season. Customer service was great.

I have been quite pleased with the volleyball set-up. My wife and I were able to set-up the net and I was actually surprised at how tight we were able to secure the net with the supporting poles just sitting on the ground. The tension ropes keep the poles in place, thus keeping the net tight, even when hit with the ball. I think you will be pleased with this purchase.

Good for grass, but I bought it for the beach. I bought 2 dowels and a rubber mallet to secure the posts a little more because the stakes on the strings rip out of the sand very easily other wise and the net droops without the extra support.

We used it at the beach. The stakes are too short for the sand but with the help of some stones that we placed on top of the stakes it stayed in place fine. the other option would be to buy different stakes that would work better in the sand.We had fun with it. It's a quality set that should last a long time.I recommend it

Initial set up takes a bit longer but subsequent set up is easy. The net is sturdy and withstands spiking. It arrives in a very tall box but it's not very heavy - just a warning to those people who are short like me and must pick up from post office. Overall, great buy!
