Very nice! For those asking how tall the upright should be, the top of the net is about 7' 6'' to 8', and the 4'' pipe in the ground is about 18''~24'' deep, so you want the 3'' PVC pipe to be 10' (roughly two feet of it will be underground).
I've done this in the past and the only issue is the pipe flexes. I have thought about putting concrete in a 2 or 3" pipe to eliminate flex. Would be heavier but more sturdy. Thoughts?
I've made one of these the same way back in the 80's when I played competitive ball. The only problem is when you rebound a ball in the net, the pvc bends since it is not rigid and the net doesn't stay tight. I still have mine in my shed. Great idea, but I think a rigid pipe would be better. This is fine for light playing, though.
@@slrenovations9247 How did you build the base of the volleyball net? I was thinking of building a detachable pull up bar in our garden and I was thinking of making the 2 supporting pipes to be mounted/removed at each use

I can see that with some hard use. We only use it for light use

Can always fill with 2" or 3" PVC Pipes with concrete. Would be heavier but would put an end to this problem you outline. No?
How tall did you make them poles?
Thanks for sharing! I am using some of your suggestions.
Brilliant!
That's amazing
Where do you live? Beautiful land
