Alright, let’s talk about this here floorin’ stuff, this LVL volleyball birch assemblin’ wooden floorin’, ya know? It’s kinda like when you’re makin’ a layer cake, but instead of flour and sugar, you’re usin’ wood, lots and lots of it.

What’s this LVL, anyhow? Well, it ain’t just any ol’ wood. It’s like, they take a bunch of thin wood pieces, all goin’ the same way, and stick ’em together real tight. Makes it strong, real strong, like them fellas who lift weights, you know? They say this LVL stuff is engineered wood, fancy talk for wood that’s made strong on purpose. You can get this stuff in Malaysia, they make a good bit of it over there I hear.

• Strong wood, that’s what it is.
• Made with lots of layers.
• Good for floors, real good.

Now, why birch for a volleyball floor? Well, birch is a tough wood, harder than some, softer than others, but just right for stompin’ and jumpin’ on. It’s like that ol’ oak tree in my yard, but a bit smoother, ya know? They use the yellow birch mostly for floors, it can take a beatin’. This yellow birch, they tell me, it’s even harder than that maple stuff some folks like, but not quite as hard as red oak, which is tough as nails, mind you. And if it’s good enough for walkin’ on all day, it’s good enough for them volleyball folks, I reckon.

And this ain’t just slapin’ down some boards, no sir. This is assemblin’, like puttin’ together a puzzle, but a big, strong puzzle. They gotta make sure it’s flat and even, so them volleyball players don’t trip and break their necks. They gotta make sure it’s bouncy too, got some give to it, so them players can jump high and smack that ball over the net. They call these people who do this floorin’ contractors and sports court builders, they build all kinds of places to play, even with that acrylic stuff and that other stuff called polyurethane, sounds fancy huh?

Why wood, though? Well, wood’s got a bit of give to it, ya know? It ain’t like that cold, hard concrete. It’s kinder on the knees and ankles, and it’s got a nice feel to it. And when you’re playin’ volleyball, you need that little bit of bounce, that little bit of give. It’s like walkin’ on soft ground, not like that hard pavement that makes your feet hurt. And this here birch plywood, they say it’s real premium, strong and won’t warp on ya, smooth too. Good for fancy projects they say, but volleyball floors are kinda fancy too, all that jumpin’ and divin’.

You can find this wood floorin’ for volleyball courts all over, even on that Alibaba thing my grandson talks about. They got all sorts of it there, durable they say. They also got regular wooden volleyball floorin’ too, not just for courts. You gotta look around though, find the good stuff. Look for somethin’ that’ll last, somethin’ that can take a beatin’. You don’t want somethin’ that’s gonna fall apart after a few games, that’d be a waste of good money, wouldn’t it?

And speakin’ of wood, there’s this other wood called Acacia, comes from a tree, they say. It’s from Australia, but it’s all over the place now, even in Africa and Asia. Don’t know if they use it for volleyball floors, but it’s wood, and wood is strong. It just goes to show ya, there’s a lot of different kinds of wood out there, all good for different things. But for volleyball, they seem to like that birch, especially that LVL stuff, that’s the ticket they say. So, if you’re lookin’ for a good volleyball floor, that’s the stuff you want, LVL volleyball birch assemblin’ wooden floorin’. Don’t let nobody fool ya into buyin’ somethin’ less, ya hear?
