✓ Authorized Douglas Dealer — ships brand-new with the full factory warranty

The Douglas VBS-3 SQ Outdoor Power Volleyball System is built for outdoor use in parks, recreation facilities, or backyard courts. Constructed from 3 in. square steel tubing with a 1/8 in. wall thickness, the posts measure 10 ft. 6 in. in length and are finished with a black baked-on polyester powder coat for chip and weather resistance. The system uses a rugged, smooth-operating net tensioning reel with a removable, contoured handle for safe and convenient adjustment, and adjustable net collars allow height adjustment between 7 ft. 4 in. and 8 ft. for official play.

Included with the system is the VB-1200RB competition volleyball net, measuring 36 in. in height by 32 ft. in length, constructed from 3.0 mm black polyethylene netting in a standard 4 in. square mesh. The net's perimeter bands are made from 2.5 in. wide 20 oz white vinyl, braced with fiberglass dowels, while the top cable is 41 ft. of vinyl-coated steel rated at 3600 lb. break strength with double-pressed headband cable ends and a 6 mm rope bottom band. The net meets USVBA standards.

The system is sold per pair and made in the USA, with posts carrying a lifetime guarantee against bending and a 5-Year Limited Warranty on the overall system. Recommended ground sleeves differ by installation type: 24 in. aluminum sleeves (GS-24SQ/AL) for grass installations, or 36 in. steel sleeves with collars (GS-36SQ) for sand volleyball, both allowing easy removal and reinstallation for seasonal setups.
