Be forewarned: This is not a project to undertake in half measures. If you're planning to build a beach volleyball court, do it right, and be prepared to invest a fair amount of time and money. Approximate cost in 2017 to have your court installed is $35K. Otherwise, you could end up with the world's most expensive sand box. First let us look at the basics How To Build A Sand Volleyball Court. Playing area consists of court and space around it measuring approximately 10-ft in each direction (more if possible). Space above playing area should be free of obstructions (branches, power lines, etc.). The playing area should be level. It's important to use good quality sand, deep enough to prevent players from contacting any underlying hard surface. Dimensions of standard court 30 X 60-ft or 52.6 X 26.3-ft and measured from outer edge of boundary lines. Boundary lines should be made of brightly colored rope or web. Poles should be place 36 to 37-ft apart, at center court. Men's playing height is 8-ft and women's playing height is 7-ft 4-inch.
We recommend that you have license contractor install your game post for your sand court. After all the money and time you have invested, you do not want the poles falling down or breaking from improper installation. Net supports should be made of steel, wood or other material that will withstand tension and not bend or break. Supports should be at least 10.5-ft long buried at least 2-ft in cement. Make sure they're free of hazardous protrusions. If you use guy wires, they should be made of bright colors or marked with flags so they're visible. All anchors for guy wires and court lines should be level with playing surface and free of sharp edges. For areas comfortably above sea level, court area should be excavated two to three feet deep, depending on the depth of sand and gravel base you intend to use. For low-lying areas, court area should be excavated only about six to eight inches; you should end up building an elevated court rather than one that is flush with the ground. To keep dirt or grass from mixing in with court sand, you may want to build a barrier around the court, either with wooden beams (such as railroad ties) or some type of low, solid fencing. This can be especially important for a court built slightly above ground. You should have a drainage system under the court. A drainage ditch should lead away from the lowest point of court, and perforated drainage pipe should laid in a zigzag pattern over the base of the area with one end capped and other open to drainage ditch. Drainage is very important. You don't want to be playing in a swamp.

Attach your net, put down your boundary lines and you're ready to play. Now for the big question: How much your basic costs will fall into three categories: sand and gravel, excavation equipment rental and court equipment. If you're lucky enough to live on a coast, sand will probably be readily available at a reasonable cost. Unless you want to spend a lot of time with a shovel and a pickup truck at the beach, you'll need to purchase sand from a local sand pit or milling company (check your yellow pages or internet). Sand comes in several grades, but our volleyball experts say this isn't the place to cut corners. Washed plaster sand, washed masonry sand, washed river sand or, if possible, washed beach or dune sand recommended. Sand sold either by the ton or by the yard, depending on where you live. You can calculate how much sand you'll need using the following formula: (Length x Width x Depth in feet divided by 27) x 1.6 gives you tonnage; (L x W x D) divided by 27 gives you yardage. Using this formula, a court approximately 40 x 70-ft with one foot of sand needs about 104 yards of sand at 166 tons. Gravel can be slightly cheaper, ranging from $5 to $14 per ton, although in some areas it can cost more than the sand. The formula for calculating the tonnage needed is the same as for sand. Good luck.
