1.  What is the difference between the Cobra and the Viper Volleyball Net System?  The Cobra is our tournament rated system and is meant for anyone who wants more competitive, aggressive play and play off the net.  It's ideal for families that have children who are playing and will grow more competitive in the future.  It is extremely durable and will handle any rough play.  The Cobra comes with 3 official height adjustments - men's (8'),  women's (7' 4"),  junior's (7') and now has height adjustments for 2 additional exciting games - beach/grass tennis and badminton.  The Viper is a lighter weight system meant for casual family play.  Although durable, it has a lighter weight net and has 2 height adjustments - men's and women's (unofficial).  Both come with Lifetime Warranties and both set up on the beach without sand kits. 

2.  How do your nets stay up?  The engineering of the patented ground anchoring system and the Flex Pole Technology combine to produce the only volleyball, beach/grass tennis and badminton equipment that stay up without guy wires or sand kits.  That is the revolutionary innovation of Cobra net systems.  Just hammer the specially engineered ground stakes with a 6 pound sledge hammer until they are solid in the ground or sand, slide the Flex poles over the stakes,  and tighten the net.  The poles won't fall down and the net stays tight. 

3.  Won't the stakes get damaged by pounding them with a sledge hammer?  Why do I need a sledge hammer?  Using a 6 pound sledge hammer ensures that the stakes are driven into the ground or sand without loosening the dirt or sand and therefore making the system unstable.  This way your system can't fall down (see video on the home page).  The system includes a heavy steel protector cap that goes over the stakes to protect them from "mushrooming" at the top. 

4.  How far do I have to hammer the stakes?  Just until the stakes are solid in the ground or sand.  This depends on the consistency of the ground or sand and varies by locale.  On average it's 20 - 22 inches.


5.  How difficult is it to get the stakes out of the sand or ground?  It is very easy to take the stakes out.  All you have to do is tap the stakes at ground or sand level with the sledge hammer.  They come out easily. 

6.  Do you ship outside the United States and how do you ship?  We ship internationally, and depending on the location we will research the best option for you.  Within the U.S. and Canada we ship UPS or US Postal Service.  International shipments are subject to brokerage fees, duties and taxes assessed by  each country. 

7.  How quickly can you ship our system?  Our normal shipping is same day if we receive your order by 4PM Arizona time (subject to individual item specifications).  Occassionally, due to very high volume levels, shipping times may be longer.  Please check the shopping cart for details or feel free to call us toll free at for current shipping times.

8.  How much does the Cobra equipment weigh?  The Cobra weighs 35 pounds.  That includes the poles, pole pads, net, boundary line, stakes, protector cap, heavy duty carry bag that can be checked as luggage on the airlines.  The boxed shipment is 36 pounds.  The Viper system weighs 29 pounds, and the boxed shipment is 30 pounds. 

9.  If I need help when your office is closed, is there a number I can call?  Yes, please call  480-862-5381  or  480-862-5375. 

10.  Although the systems are portable, many people leave them up over long periods of time.
We recommend that you take the tension out of the net and loosen the stretch cords when not in use. It is quite easy to tighten everything again when playing. 

If you have additional questions, please feel free to recommend that we post them.  We appreciate feedback.
