How to Build a Sand Volleyball Court


The key of knowing how to construct a sand volleyball court is by doing your homework and planning well. Most sand courts are made with too little sand or the wrong type of sand which makes the court useless. The sand needs to resemble the sand of a beach as closely as possible. If you don't get the right type of sand or enough sand then the court will not turn out well. Plan of the sand being at least 16 inches deeps.
A sand volleyball court is much smaller than the traditional indoor volleyball court. An outdoor court measures 60 feet by 30 feet. When making a court make sure that there are 10 extra feet around the court. So you will need to buy enough sand to cover an area of 80 feet by 50 feet.
The poles are going to be placed 36 feet from each other. This leaves 3 feet on each side of the court from the boundary line to the pole.
I would recommend using steel poles that can adjust between mens height and womens height. The height for a mens net is just shy of 8 feet at 7'11"5/8 and womens net height is 7'4"1/8.
You can have the best pole system along with net and boundary lines but if you go cheap on the sand you will regret it and your court will not turn out the way you want.
You can bank on the sand putting you back a few thousand dollars but if you get it right then you will have the best court in town because everyone else will only buy enough sand to be 6 inches deep and the sand will most likely be of the wrong consistency and will pack down like dirt.
