DIY Floating Pool Volleyball Net

Step 5 Putting It All Together

Once the cement has cured and the paint has dried, you can finish the assembly. Slide the foam onto the legs and mount the net onto the frame.

Tighten the net. Now, just find some way to tie it down in the pool so it doesn't float away. I have a string running to a pipe in the spa and a string running to the filter trap on the opposite side. It worked quite well.

That's it! Enjoy! It's pretty stable and only tipped over two or 3x during our games.

Things to improve it:
1. Find a better way to fix it's position so it doesn't float around. I thought about creating a spring loaded device to press against the side walls, I just didn't have the time. It should be pretty simple to make.
2. Prevent flex from the tight net. I have three possible solutions.
a. The preferred way would probably be to use parellel pipes for the 10 foot span. That should make it more ridged and lower it's center of gravity to prevent tip overs.
b. Use a solid bar through the middle of the pipe and through the verticals. This will also lower the center of gravity, though it'll make it unnecessarily heavier.
c. Use a thicker pipe for the verticals and 10 foot span.
