    Good idea. I thought about that too. We have a badmitten set just languishing on a shelf.

    Just a thought since I never owned a volleyball net and it may be a non-issue. I'd be concerned about someone grabbing the net and either breaking the poles or ripping the net. Seems more likely in the water. How about fabricating something to mount the poles on a couple of those beefy springs that are used for mobile antenna mounts? You don't see them much on vehicles anymore other than some ham operators but up here they use them to mount fiberglass poles on fire hydrants so the hydrants can be found when covered with snow.

    We purchased a 2 in 1 Basketball/Volleyball set from leslies last year. The volleyball is good but the water in the base makes it hard to 'convert' to basketball. It is a nice Volley set but don't buy it for the 2 in 1 feature. It's really 1 or the other unless you want the pain of emptying and refilling the base all day.

    Just do as I did, go to walmart and get a regular volleyball set with regular poles and all. Now get a 5-6 foot piece of PVC (white) that's just bigger than the smaller poles that come with the set. Cut the piece of pvc in the middle and use a sledge/block of wood to pound each piece into the ground exactly opposite one another a foot or 2 outside pool wall. Then 2 people can put up or take down easily...just roll up the net. You can always pull up the pvc stakes at the end of the season if you like, but I leave mine. If you have some rigid pvc, you just need a net. I had friends that tried a flimsy badminton net, but they don't hold up to volleyballs well.
