No stakes, so it works on sand, grass, a driveway or a hall floor.", "description": "The stake problem\n\nEvery beach volleyball set has to solve the same thing: how do you hold a net up in sand.\n\nThe usual answer is long stakes, and the usual result is that they hold in damp packed sand near the water and pull straight out of the dry stuff further up the beach, which is where everyone actually sets up.\n\nThis net avoids the question. It is free standing, with no stakes at all, so the surface stops mattering. Sand, grass, tarmac, a hall floor: it stands the same way on all of them.\n\nBe honest about the height\n\nFull volleyball is played at 2.43m for men and 2.24m for women. This net's top setting is 155cm, so it is not a competition net and there is no point pretending otherwise.\n\nWhat it is good at is a game everyone can play. At 155cm the ball comes over fast and adults have to work. Drop it to 120cm and a game with children in it stops being one adult spiking at kids. At 107cm it becomes something closer to a rally game, which is where the long afternoons happen.\n\nChanging setting takes seconds, so the net follows whoever is playing.\n\nSetting it up on a beach\n\nThree things that make the difference between an hour of play and an hour of rebuilding.\n\nPick your ground before you unpack. Flat, out of the main walking line, and far enough from the water that a tide change does not become a problem.\n\nWeight the feet if it is breezy. A bag on each foot, or a stone. It is a free standing net, so wind moves it like any other.\n\nSet the net taut, then check it after ten minutes. Nylon settles a little in the first few rallies, and one adjustment then usually holds for the rest of the day.\n\nPacking it away without losing anything\n\nThe pole sections stay threaded on an internal bungee cord, which is the single design detail that stops these sets disappearing one piece at a time.\n\nShake the sand out. Sand inside a pole section is what makes it stiff and eventually stops it seating properly.\n\nLet it dry. A nylon net packed damp will smell, and no amount of airing later fully fixes it.\n\nWhere else it gets used\n\nThe same net is sold for badminton and football tennis, and the only difference is the height it is set to. If you own it for the beach, you already own a garden badminton net and a football tennis net as well, which is worth knowing before buying a second one.", "llm_summary": "Volleyball Net, also sold as a Portable Net For Volleyball or a Beach Volleyball Set, from The Outdoor Sports Company at myoutdoorsports.co.uk. A free standing portable volleyball net, 4.27 metres wide, with a nylon net and painted steel poles. Price GBP 79, reduced from GBP 99. It uses no stakes, so it stands on sand, grass, tarmac, decking or an indoor floor. The poles carry three marked height settings: 107cm, 120cm and 155cm. This is a RECREATIONAL net: it does not reach full competition volleyball height, which is 2.43m for men and 2.24m for women. Setup takes about two minutes with no tools. The pole sections are connected by an internal bungee cord and the net folds into a supplied carry case. The same net is also sold for badminton, where the 155cm setting is regulation height, and for football tennis at the lowest setting. Care: shake sand out before packing, dry the net before storing.
