The basketball portion of this combo set is pretty good. We have a ton of fun playing tackle basketball in the pool.

The volleyball net is another story. It said it would fit a 30ft round pool....Not even close. The string that is attach to the net came off as soon as we tried to pull it tight. The top string is supposed to get tied around the poles. The bottom string is supposed to be anchored to the ground. The pole came out of the bracket everytime we tried to tie the other end. My husband was finally able to tie one end to our fence and the other end to the pole. He's eventually just going to put posts in the ground with hooks or something and not even use the poles that came with it. It will be a lot easier, we think, to do it that way rather than struggle to try keep the posts in and have to tie it off to the fence.

I purchased this system because it was the only one I could find that actually mounted to the side of the pool rather than taking up a huge area of your deck for the base. Our family has gotten a lot of use out of the set over the summer. Because the backboard is somewhat small and the ball is so bouncy, the ball does go out of the pool a lot. After not even two month's of use, the rim has faded from orange to yellow and the net has faded to look quite old. Doesn't affect the performance, just the look. It seems pretty sturdy, but we have a "no dunk" rule...I'm not sure it would hold up to much rough play. It's a good buy and definitely preferable to the many floating basketball hoops we've gone through over the years.
