Intex 56508EP Inflatable Floating Swimming Pool Toys Volleyball Game, Green

Well made and fun to use! The only complaint I have is how flimsy it is. It was a pain in the rear trying to get it into the pool after it was inflated because it kept wanting to fold in half, making getting it over the edge of the pool almost impossible (it'd have been a LOT easier with two people, admittedly). It's fun, relatively inexpensive, and easy to set up. The directions are CRAP and nigh unreadable. I didn't even bother after about 5 minutes of trying to decypher them. I simply went off what the picture looked like on the box and was able to set it up within a few minutes. Despite what they recommend, I *did* use an air compressor to inflate the net. Like HECK if I was blowing that thing up myself and I didn't have any other way to inflate it. I will say you NEED to use the weight bags to keep this thing in place. Otherwise it'll be out of the pool and across the yard if there's so much as a gentle breeze blowing! We had a ton of fun using it at a pool party we hosted. Everyone loved it and had a blast! Our pool was technically too small for it (I honestly had thought it was much smaller than it was, but that was definitely an error on my part, not the sellers!). e still enjoyed it (even though it's almost as wide as our easy set). Just a tip: if you're having issues with the ball going too far or being blown around, deflate it a bit. If you still have issues, add a small amount of pool water in it. If you do this, be sure to empty it out and let the nozzle open so that it dries out inside EVERY time after you're done with it so that it doesn't get disgusting inside.

I bought this a few months ago but only really have used it twice during big pool parties since then. The price was awesome and it keeps the party active and having fun. The size is good for any size pool, I do have a rather large pool and didn’t feel like it was so big it took up all the space (for people in the pool who were not playing to still have their own space) but also big enough to still separate both sides of the pool. So far no deflation issues. I will say I got creative with inflating it though, I used a automatic air pump for a car tire, the kind that goes into your cigarette lighter in your car. I filled it in the garage and dragged it out to the pool area. Also, I had to get creative with how to keep the anchor bags heavy enough. I put metal weights in them. I found if I had the weight bags in the water that the slack on the rope would let it float wherever it wanted. Found that keeping the weight bags outside the pool on the edge was easier to keep it centered and not floating away. Hope this long review helps anyone with odd little pointers in the future. Overall very good product, lots of fun, so far no issues with quality or deflation.

Would be 5 stars but the bags that are used to weight it down in the pool didn’t do much. I had to fill them with some large river rocks so it didn’t blow all over the place. That said it was a ton of fun and my daughter loved it for her party!

Great and it has holders on the side to prevent wind from blowing off

Relatively easy together. Wish there were actually picture directions, included. Could not figure out to make a weight. We had lots of fun using this for Fourth of July.

Great for the pool. Very sturdy

We’ve already had $15 worth of fun with this thing so if it were to not last much longer it would still be worth it. Just know, this is inflatable and so it’s not going to be perfect. The net sags a little in the middle, the ball is really light and doesn’t fly that well, and everything feels fairly plastic and cheap. BUT, it does what it’s supposed to and has provided a few fun volleyball games for this family. We are a family of 4 and in our pool there’s a lot of open area left. We played with some neighbors and had 6 people and that worked way better. Important note: we used the bags provided and put weights in it to keep it stable. Those bags need to reach the bottom of the pool though or else it will still move around, and the string that was provided was too short so I had to use my own. Again, for the money, this is well worth it!

I bought this for my family of four (twin 8 year olds). The girls have never played volleyball and I thought this might be a fun family sport for the pool. We have a basket ball net and about 10 rafts, kick boards and what-not. For $10 I envisioned maybe 30 minutes of play. I completely underestimated this toy! From the beginning, set up was very simple--maybe 5-10 minutes between inflation and stringing the net (I didn't do the weight part yet). Put it in the pool and my husband and I started playing (the girls wanted no part of it). Usually these inflatable balls have no velocity--but this volleyball one does! We had a fun volley going and before long, the girls joined in. The fact that we could just put this inflatable net anywhere we wanted was great--we put it in the shallow end so the girls could easily participate. We ended up spending around two hours playing volleyball! The ball was great to teach the girls how to serve, plus they were easily able to volley it back. (Also no one was hurt if they got hit with the ball). The net held up nicely. We were super impressed with this and for $10 too! I took heed of others' reviews on here that the net could easily deteriorate and may just store this in the garage. Honestly, if this thing popped every other week (I doubt that because it seems very sturdy) it would be worth paying $10 each time because of how much valuable family fun time it is. *Highly recommend*!!
