eHow.com outlines 3 steps about how to buy outdoor volleyball equipment:

"Step #1:   Decide whether you need just the net (if you play only at a beach where there are permanent poles) or if you need a complete net system.
 Step #2:   Check the text on the box to make sure that it is regulation size (tournament height).
 Step #3:   Find a lightweight and compact net system that you can carry easily and set up fast and is stable.  These three   characteristics are tough to find together and could cost a few more bucks." 

You've come to the right place for volleyball equipment that meets all these requirements and more.  The Cobra weighs only 35 pounds and sets up fast in less than 5 minutes, - no guy wires AND no sand kits to bury!  Cobra's patented flex pole technology keeps the net tight and the system stable until you take it down.  Cobra meets all professional competition regulations/specifications and has been the official outdoor volleyball net of the AAU Beach Volleyball Tour for over 12 years.  

And Cobra is the only tournament rated portable volleyball equipment that comes with a LIFETIME WARRANTY.  For safety (no guy wires or hazardous plates and spikes in the playing zone), ease of set up, quality and net play, the Cobra stands alone.
