I was gonna go old school and fill tires with concrete and use square wood the only thing there heavy as a bear to move. I’m totally trying you method here! Thanks for posting!
Mix some concrete and add it to the inside of the pole. It will make the pole almost impossible to bend in case someone hits/grabs the top of the net. As you add the concrete, tap the pole on the ground to insure the concrete is well packed.
Worked great for a badminton set. I used 3/4 pipe for my girls for light use, not adults playing hard and running into the net. Pvc in the ground. I put multiple clips in to raise or lower net for volleyball or badminton. Thank you! Best idea on here.
how deep did you dig the toprail in the ground? I know you said you got 2 feet of it, but did you use 2 feet for each side or split the 2 feet and 1 foot in?
unfortunately it's been awhile and I don't remember. I would measure the outside diameter of your pole and then go to the hardware store and just measure the inside diameter of the top rail.

Brilliant. Thank you. You just saved me a bunch of time. I had similar plans to you, but the ground sleeve part I was at a loss on what to use.
Awesome. Thanks!
Great idea and really gave me a lot inspiration of creating Volleyball poles.
Nice job! My net sucked, now it's way better!

Nice job. The nets and ropes will stretch over time, so I think I'd look into adding some cargo ratchet straps to help cinch up the net even more.
Would you be able to put were you got them from, I couldn’t find the fence top rail
What was the diameter of the top rail?
Love it.. thanks for this. I'll be testing this out this weekend. the top rail that you used was 2ft on each side? or 1ft each?
I was wondering the same thing. looks like 1 foot driven to the ground
2Ft on each side. Let me know how it works!
What did you mean by pinching the end? Which end? The pole or the 2ft you put in the ground?
How come you didn't use top rail vs conduit for the pole? Thank you.
Did you drill a hole in the top rail to drain rainwater?
Genius
Thanks!
Im a voleyball player and I need a net to practice
you pretty too..hmu
Is that pvc or steel conduit?

Two feet on each side.
what size is the toprail? so the pole fits in perfectly?
unfortunately it's been awhile and I don't remember. I would measure the outside diameter of your pole and then go to the hardware store and just measure the inside diameter of the top rail.
sweet
What model number is that net from eastpoint
I'm sorry I don't know. That net is long gone now.
Is the conduit rigid or EMT?
Yes it is.
