I would like to set up a volleyball net on my backyard lawn. To make assembly and disassembly easier, I was thinking about putting two PVC pipes into the ground and capping them (when not in use). Of course I would make the PVC pipes flush with the soil so they won't interfere with mowing. I am thinking that about 24' in length would provide adequate support and I am trying to avoid digging big holes and cementing the PVC in place.

Is there a good method for getting PVC pipe into the ground without destroying the pipes in the process? I will be using 2' diameter PVC. Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated. I'm not really clear from your description how you plan on constructing them. You're planning on make the vertical poles (about 8' high or whatever), and spanning the net in between them? I don't think PVC is strong enough. If someone were to run into the net, or spike, catch their hand on the net while in the air and tug the net down as they land, I would bet that the PVC supports/uprights would bend then snap.

And PVC sort of shatters when it breaks, which would be very dangerous. I think metal or really beefy wood upright supports are the only safe and worth doing solution for a homemade setup. I was hoping to not have to dig holes at all. I also will probably have to cap the bottom of the PVC since otherwise, soil will just come up into the PVC as I 'hammer' it into the ground. The water jet idea is interesting but probably won't work given the need to cap the bottom of the PVC.

I was thinking about possibly using one of those root feeder poles to get the soil/subsoil moist and then just taking a sledgehammer along with perhaps a short piece of 2x6 on top of the PVC so I don't shatter the PVC with the hammer. I'm not sure if this will work. If I do end up needing to dig holes with a post hole digger, I will probably just end up cementing the PVC into the ground, but again, I a looking for a solution that might avoid more labor.

Distance From End Lines The volleyball net resides at the center line. On a volleyball court, the center line serves as a dividing line between two equal 9-meter-by-9 meter squares (29 feet by 6 inches). The center line itself belongs equally to both sides of the court.

Two rounded metal poles support either side of the volleyball net, which is secured tightly to the poles by net ties. Distance From Sidelines Volleyball net support poles lie between 1/2 meter (20 inches) and 1 meter (39 inches) away from the sideline. International competition play requires all poles to lie 1 meter away from the court sideline. This measurement allows for adjustment in noninternational play to accommodate different court configurations and space limitations.

Height of Poles The standard volleyball net pole stands a distance of 2.55 meters (8 feet 4 inches) from the ground. To reduce the chance of injury, referees examine poles before every match to ensure that no exposed wires or dangerous metal pieces exist that could cause harm to players. In some venues, volleyball poles are substituted with suspended ceiling-mounted net supports. Volleyball Net Height Configuration The height of a volleyball net changes depending on level of play. The top of a standard men's volleyball net rests 2.43 meters (7 feet 11 5/8 inches) from the floor, while the top of a women's net rests 2.24 meters (7 feet 4 1/8 inches) from the floor. Coed rules follow the men's net regulations, while reverse coed rules follow the women's. To accommodate for different physical characteristics in age groups, net heights remain lower for children age 14 and under, women age 45 and older and men age 55 and older.
