Works Great!5
I have to admit, I am impressed. We purchased this volleyball set last summer and have used it constantly since. The product is easy to setup/takedown and tons of fun.

I have a 18' wide inground and the net easily covers this distance. The net itself is probably ~16' wide, so it spans almost the entire distance across our pool and the strings are easily another 4-6' longer on each side, so it should fit a 24' wide pool as advertised.

I think it took me about ten minutes to setup the supports and net. We fill the bases with water and they are remarkably stable - I don't think the net bases/supports have been pulled into the water yet.

The ball provided is actually very durable and hasn't needed to be inflated.

One other note...at the time of this review, Amazon provides two photos of the set. You might notice that the two photos show different bases. Our set matches the bases shown in the photo of the box.

Not what is shown and delivery was late3
Note...there are two products depicted for this item...the main photo is not the product delivered, it was one of the smaller background product photos. OK as far as pool toys go, not very durable, expect it to last one season of minor use. Seems to be standard for pool products. The problem is always the net, it comes apart because the ropes don't go thru the net from side to side, they only attach at the corners of the net. Don't expect a very rugged product and you won't be disappointed.

And by the way, I paid for faster shipping to get it in time for a party...UPS misrouted the product and it was delayed for two additional days (a Friday and Monday). UPS had no apology, no rationale for the delay, no tracking info on the delay (Amazon had the accurate info) and no refund of expedited shipping cost. If I have an option, UPS will have no further business from me.

Not as Expected1
The poolside volley ball net did not stretch the lenght of a standard pool. I ended up needing to purchase additional string to make it work and then at that it easily tipped over at the post. I purchased this for a 13 year old birthday party hoping it would be a good source of entertainment and was severely disappointed.
