Questions & Answers
The net can be taken off, yes. However, without the net, the poles will not remain in place. The poles stay in place because they're being pulled in three directions at once - from the net, as well as both ropes that anchor the poles to the ground This is a lightweight set that is simple to assemble and disassemble.
It's only designed to function at a single height. The poles can only be connected in one direction and are not adjustable. I don't think it would be difficult to modify it if you had the means to do so; you could simply slide the net down the pole. To keep the net at the lower height, you'd need to drill a hole in the pole and secure it with a bolt. I've used it dozens of times and it's a fantastic set. Only a few pieces of hardware (spikes and hooks) needed to be replaced.
On the parksun, there is a good video. The setup process is demonstrated on the com website. The key is to set up the guylines at a 45-degree angle, with the bottom of the pole angled about 2 feet toward the net's center. After that, tighten the tension rings on the other pole and repeat. Then, to make the poles straight, adjust the bottoms of the poles to perpendicular.
To keep the net in place, the spikes must be driven into the ground. On the street, I'm not sure how to support it.
Selected User Reviews For Park & Sun Sports Spiker Sport: Portable Outdoor Volleyball Net System
I was tired of buying nets that were of such poor quality that the plastic poles would break after only a few uses, so I went on the hunt for something affordable that would last, and I believe this one will be a good quality net for our family get-togethers. Because one side of the net sat on a small hill, I especially liked that we could adjust one end of the net to level the height. I didn't care for the boundary rope, but the guys insisted on putting it out, and they were grateful.
This volleyball set is fantastic, and my children enjoy inviting their friends over to play with them. We left it out in the wind a few times and it was fine. It's also very simple to set up, and I like how the rope serves as a boundary marker. I haven't had any issues with the ball flattening as described in previous reviews, but even if I did, volleyballs are relatively inexpensive!.
The net appears to be official sized, which is a great deal for the price. Anchors at the corners are used to measure the lines. The poles are easy to erect with just two people and come with heavy-duty stakes. The net height can be easily adjusted by unscrewing the bolt and inserting it into the hole at the desired height. The net's top loop rests on top of that. On Easter, I set this up, and it rained the entire evening. You'd never know we have some pretty strong wind gusts up our hill. The poles are made up of three sections and are thick enough to resist bending, unlike other nets I've used. I did not expect this level of quality for this price, and I am extremely pleased with my purchase. Although the volleyball claims to be official size, it appears to be quite small. It's cool that the pump comes with two needles, and it's a good size for traveling.

br>I've given my review a lower rating. The bottom of the net, where the net loops around the poles, has already ripped after only two outings with this net. It's of poor quality, and there was never any suspense in it. I don't think anyone should use this website. Granted, my expectations were unrealistic, but this product will not hold up to regular use. The net was brought down by a single excellent serve. I feel like I've squandered my money because I've only used it twice and am unlikely to do so again. If I really wanted to keep using it, I could run a rope through the bottom of the net and tie it to the poles. The only reason someone should buy this is if they want a net for their children aged 8 to 12. This is not intended for use by children under the age of twelve. br>br>(Original Review below)br>br>To be fair, the net arrives exactly as described and sets up exactly as shown in the photos. Park has performed admirably in terms of delivering the advertised product. Sun handled this basic entry-level net admirably. I really wanted a nice net, so I planned on purchasing a high-quality stand-alone net and assembling the rest of the components myself. However, due to the positive feedback, I ultimately chose this set. I shouldn't be complaining for the price. But here are my thoughts: br>br>
- This is set up with three 1 1/2'' diameter connecting pole segments (not a telescoping pole), which aren't particularly strong or heavy, which I don't think is a good thing.
- The net is extremely light, and it only stays taught at the top when the poles are sufficiently taut.
- There is no way to keep the net straight (no wooden dowels) or tight (it literally loops around the poles) without additional ties or bungees, as shown in the pictures. However, I'm hesitant to use them because the Net is too fragile to put too much strain on it, and I believe that if you pulled it too tight, it would snap. That is to say, the net is loose, especially near the bottom, and will not bounce a ball back without a lot of force. When a ball is knocked into the lower section of the net, it will most likely fall down or even push through without much resistance.
- The ropes used to secure and keep the poles in place are very basic, with no adjustments or tightening options.
- The height of the net cannot be adjusted quickly because the net's top clips into the pole's top. If you want a lower net, you'll need to lower the eyebolts and then loop the top of the net above them to keep it from sliding down.
- When I first opened and set it up, I was a little disappointed because it's just so basic and of poor quality. br>br>I was a little disappointed with this when I first opened and set it up because it's just so basic and of poor quality. The advantages are the price and the fact that you get what you pay for; it's very inexpensive, and I wouldn't expect it to withstand a lot of abuse. But it's a net, it's the proper size, it sets up quickly, and it'll suffice for light use and practice.
This net was purchased for our daughter, who plays high school volleyball as well as club volleyball. Volleyball in a club. The net is very strong, and the steel poles are attractive. This net is Men's Volleyball height, but it can be adjusted with the included pins, and it only took a few minutes to set up. To aid our daughter in clearing more vertical jumps and blocks, we left the net at its highest point. We had a summer storm a few days after installing it, and we thought the net had fallen down, but it was fine. I would suggest this product because of its high quality and reasonable price.
A fantastic volleyball set for your backyard! My 13-year-old daughter and her friend were able to set it up without difficulty on their own. Poles that are very sturdy and adjustable. Much better than the plastic ones, which are prone to bending. It's been used by college students and adults, and the net has held up well to spiking and blocking. We don't just use the boundary ropes for fun games; they're great for hardcore games as well. This set would also be fantastic for sand games. I would strongly suggest it!.
We bought it for summer get-togethers, but we haven't had any since Covid, and volleyball is one of the sports that our government has banned as a result of Covid. As a result, no one will be interested in participating. Anyway, we were inspecting the set because we had finally gathered enough family members to play, and we first attempted to blow up the ball. It had to be faulty because it popped even though it hadn't been fully blown up. Oh well, I'm discouraged, and I'm hoping the set is still in good condition since it's past the return deadline. Until we get the net set up, I'm giving the set two stars.
This was purchased for an event but was not used for over a year. I paid too much for a warehouse item. After two uses, the net began to fall apart. After one use, the ball was rendered useless. It had a massive tumor-like growth on its surface. After 1 use, it appears as if something is coming out of the ball. I would have returned it if I hadn't bought it so long ago. That is far too short a time for the system to last. I don't intend to set it up again, so I didn't add any pictures. I'm dissatisfied because I had high hopes for this system. At the time of purchase, the net cost around $150. It is now available for $86.
