Product Overview
The Douglas VBS-3.5 SQ Outdoor Power Volleyball System is designed for prolonged outdoor use in grass or sand court installations, making it suitable for parks and recreation departments, sports facilities, or backyard courts. The system is built in the USA from 3-1/2 in. square steel tubing with a 3/16 in. wall thickness and finished with a black baked-on polyester powder coat for weather and chip resistance.
Hardware includes adjustable net collars for easy height adjustment between 7'4" and 8' official play height, along with a rugged steel net tensioning reel featuring a removable, contoured handle for smooth operation and tamper prevention. The included VB-1200 competition volleyball net measures 36 in. high by 32 ft. long, constructed from 3.0 mm black polyethylene netting in a 4 in. square mesh, with 2.5 in. wide 20 oz white vinyl perimeter bands braced by fiberglass dowels. The top cable is 41 ft. of vinyl-coated steel rated at 3600 lb. break strength, while the bottom cable is 38 ft. of steel rated at 2400 lb. break strength.
Posts are 12 ft. in length, allowing for 42 in. direct burial into concrete footings or installation with optional steel ground sleeves, which are sold separately and recommended for seasonal or temporary setups. The system is sold per pair and includes the net and all necessary hardware. Posts carry a lifetime guarantee against bending, and the system overall is backed by a 5-year limited warranty.
