Mine haven't rusted because I've kept them outside.
The following is taken from the description: PVC Polesbr>The family set's poles are 1/4 inch larger in diameter than the starter set's (1" vs. 1. 25")
Are you enquiring if the poles can be adjusted to accommodate people of various heights? We put it up for the kids, so we left it at the lowest setting and didn't bother adjusting it. However, for the price, we thought it was a decent set.
It was clear that the set I received was for badminton. Volleyball could possibly be played on the net. There was, however, no ball.

This is a very low-cost set. I would not have purchased it if I could have seen it in a store. I passed on a set of this quality at half the price I saw in the store. We'll keep you updated once we've got everything set up. I just wanted to make it clear that this set is not worth $20, much less $40, right out of the box. br>br>UPDATE: br>br> This is what I came up with. It functions, but it has a shabby appearance; the net is thin and flimsy, the rackets are of poor quality, and I would not pay $10 for it. I am not returning because we have everything together and my family uses it. But I really ought to. Look somewhere else, in my opinion. br>br>UPDATE: br>br> Tape is peeling away from rackets after a few days of light use. This is complete garbage. Purchases should be avoided.
It's a great set if you do a couple of things. The badminton set is fine, but it would be even better if you did a few things to strengthen the poles. The poles can and will break if forced into the ground, as many reviewers have pointed out. I strengthened the poles by inserting 4 feet of 1/2-inch PVC on the inside of each one. Place the Poles over the PVC Pipe that has been hammered six inches into the ground. It's a low-cost upgrade that goes a long way toward ensuring the poles' longevity and durability. It's simple to set up and take down. A video is also included. Get a good set of Birdies, as suggested by other reviewers. I received the LED Birdies, which are both functional and attractive. Unless you deliberately break the Rackets, they're fine. It isn't tennis, but rather badminton. Have fun.
This set is a complete waste of money. It took a long time to set up and stay in place. When we first started playing, the first birdie broke in 60 seconds, the second cracked in the first 10 minutes, and the third completely fell apart in the next 30 minutes. The birds are made of brittle plastic and are a complete waste of money. br>br>I understand wanting a low-cost product, so cutting corners on fabrication, but what good is it if it's basically junk? Overall, the quality is poor and the product is poorly constructed. My family of four played for less than 30 minutes, and both birdies were completely destroyed, necessitating the purchase of new ones. br>br>Very dissatisfied. br>br> This is not something I would recommend. Shame on you if you decided to buy after reading these reviews.
After only two days of use, one of the racquets began to break. It wasn't particularly rough in any way. Other than that, the birdies and other racquets are in great shape.
This was ordered as a family activity. I knew it was only $33, so I wasn't expecting high-quality materials, but the net and poles are dirt-cheap dirt-cheap dirt-cheap dirt-cheap dirt-cheap dirt-cheap dirt-cheap dirt The poles are actually three pieces of flimsy, hollow, thin plastic that fit together and must be staked to the ground using three separate rope/stakes in order to stay in place. The net is thin and flimsy in nature. We only used it for about 15 minutes before one of our players accidentally touched the net during a game, causing the plastic on one of the poles to break and snap in half. We'll be returning it because it was only recently delivered and we can't use it.
br>br>While the net is durable, it isn't exceptional. The setup of the guy rope scheme is poorly described in the manual, and it is neither obvious nor simple to tighten. br>The carry bag is adequate, but I doubt the zipper will withstand a few weeks of tugging from children. The racket grips come apart on the first use, as others have mentioned. br>br>Next time, I'll go for the cheapest option and treat the set like trash.
There was no explanation given. When I purchased about the differences in the different sets and perhaps the poles were one of those, but we have since purchased another brand with metal poles and it is fantastic!.
The kids love it, and so do their overly competitive parents. br>br>I'm concerned about the poles on this lasting because they're thin and cheap. However, in terms of value for money, it's not bad. Last night, we had a huge windstorm, and the tree is still standing!.
