Volleyball court lines
Volleyball court striping. All straight lines, one person.
A volleyball court is nothing but straight lines: two sidelines, two end lines, a center line and two attack lines. The Straight Line 1000 masks all of them from a standing position, so one person stripes a court in an afternoon.

How a line goes down
Chalk, mask, roll, pull. One person does all of it from a standing position.
Lay out the corners
Measure the court or zone and check it is square: both diagonals should match before you snap a line.
Snap the chalk lines
The integrated chalk line anchor holds the line at the machine, so one person walks it out and snaps it.
Set the line width
Set the distance between the machine's two tape strips to the width the line calls for.
Push to tape
Walk each chalk line standing up. The Straight Line 1000 lays two parallel strips of masking tape with the line between them.
Roll the paint
Roll the paint your surface calls for into the gap, in the color your layout assigns.
Pull the tape
Peel both strips for a crisp edge. When lines fade, the Off Set Pointer tracks them so you can re-mask for a refresh coat.
