Net and portable net roller

Apparatus for providing a net structure for a volley ball game or similar activity wherein the net structure is to be frequently put up and taken down, said apparatus comprising:

• a net having a pair of hooks at each end fixed to the respective upper and lower margins of the net;
• a portable cylinder having at least one loop structure at each end, the width of the cylinder between the loop structures being no less than the width of the net;
• a pair of handles rotatably mounted to the respective ends of the cylinder;
• and
• a net support including two spaced apart support members each having a vertically spaced pair of loops for mounting of the net to the support structure with the hooks, so that the net can be taken down by detaching the hooks at one end of the net from one support member, attaching the hooks to the loop structures on the cylinder, rolling the net onto the cylinder while holding the cylinder by one of the handles and detaching the hooks at the other end of the net from the other support member, and wherein the net can subsequently be put up by reattaching the hooks at said other end of the net to the other support member, grasping the handles and allowing the net to unroll from the cylinder while moving toward the first support member, and detaching the hooks at said one end of the net from the loops structures on the cylinder and reattaching the hooks to said one support member.
