ABSTRACT:
A portable volleyball net assembly is constructed of tough, high strength plastic and includes two cylindrical housings within each of which is stored one-half of the net and a telescoping supporting post assembly. The net is attached to a rotatable tube within the housing from which it may be extended through a longitudinal housing slot and around which it may be rerolled by manually turning an end cap attached to the tube on the outside of the housing. The telescoping post assembly preferably includes two tubular sections adapted to be withdrawn from the rotatable net-supporting tube and locked into their extended positions to fix the height of the net. The overlapping ends of two of the tubular sections includes axially positionable locking slots to establish varying net heights. The lowermost tubular telescoping post member has an anchoring spike rotatably attached to it which may be screwed into the ground to anchor the post without rotation of the rest of the assembly. When the post assemblies and net are retracted into the housings for storage, the two housings may be joined at the abutment of the net deployment slots and secured together with a hinged plastic harness having a handle to facilitate transport. A supplemental guy line assembly is also provided.
