Questions & Answers

In the case of a properly cemented pole, does it have the strength or stability to be climbed ?

A playground set of this quality definitely belongs in a playground. This is a very sturdy material.

The tennis ball I want is a red one. Are you referring to a large or small one?

There's no comparison between the size of tether balls and tennis balls. Its size is about that

If you are cementing in the ground, how much cement do you need?

Although I used Redicrete a year ago (just add water), I believe I used one bag. It would be nice to have another, just in case you need more.

If it is two poles connected together, does it wobble at all when it is being played or is it totally stable?

The device does not wobble in any way. Where the two poles are joined there is a bolt that goes in. To make sure it is properly secured, we also made sure it was at least a foot in cement.

Selected User Reviews For BSN Outdoor Tetherball Pole

I love the pole, but I hate the ball
4/5

Since I have set up this tether ball, I have had it for about three weeks. Easy to assemble and really strong, this pole is perfect for outdoor events. There was no great ball included with the kit. I had a ball that had a flat spot every 2 days and a rope that broke after about 2 weeks. It just so happens that I just purchased Regardless of the way it is done, I guess I'm just disappointed that we had to order something else and wait for it.

keeps the grandkids excited about spending time outdoors
5/5

There is a lot of strength and durability with this bag There can be no quality pole without quality material. A concrete tire set in a tire was set in a concrete foundation by my handyman. For the pole to be 10 feet long, his father had to cut about 2 feet from the bottom of it. I like to play with it whenever I have people over, and the tire allows me to roll it off to the side of the yard when needed. To affix the ball to the rope, I replace the Voit ball with a very soft tachikara ball and tie the ball with a butcher's knot.

It is impossible to find a better deal for family fun than this one! Tetherballs are a great way to keep active! Everything else except the concerts is included in the package
5/5

When we got to play, we did what we had read other reviewers had done and put it in a bucket filled with rocks as instructed. I was pleased with the result. As a result of sometimes flying off the carabiner that holds the rope, the rope can be dangerous. There is no way you can get family fun at such a low price. We look forward to many more memorable tetherball games with everyone.

Reminds me of the good old days
4/5

In this manner, I ordered it so that my kids would have more things It is probably going to take two different days to deliver the two packages. In the first round, the ball was played & Pump is not included in the package, so if you do not have one it would be a good idea to buy one before installing. I wasn't bothered with the length of the string either because it wasn't too long. As I have just installed the ball, I have no idea how long it is going to last, as I read reviews saying it was extremely hard on the hands. There is no doubt that the pole is a heavy one. Among all the things I disliked, I was only bothered by I had trouble getting the hook attached to the pole, the bolt they included with the pole is way too short and the eye hook isn't automatically attached to the pole. It was barely possible to get out of there in time to fasten the nut. I paired the second pole with the first but it had a slightly different path than the first pole. The line they sent for that part and the screw they sent were also short & poorly made There was barely a chance of making it out The bolt was tightened up as much as we could, but it looks like we will need to replace it We had to cement the bottom pole into the ground as it's on it and it doesn't seem to be moving around when we play (I'm assuming because it isn't aligned right) but other then that I thought it was a pretty good.

This set of tetherballs is high quality! With this tetherball set you are not going to be let down, despite its high price tag
5/5

Metal poles that are heavy gauge are not the kind of DIY projects you'll find at Lowes. I could climb the pole literally without it moving, after you set it in the ground 2' in the ground with one bag of concrete. My hands were hurting from hits to the ball, so I deflated it a little to soften them. Gloves would probably be a better option. The movie is definitely worth watching!.

The quality is outstanding and the construction is The pole is super high quality and extremely heavy
5/5

The drum was taken from the brake drum of a semi Using a trailer which already weighs about 70 lb and putting concrete in it and a pole in it, we secured the trailer. It becomes somewhat portable that way. My pole worked wonderfully, and it is of a very high quality. I built this set-up in mid December, and all of my grandkids and their friends have been playing on it constantly since then. The price is well worth the value. This is going to last a very very long time.

I love the weight of this! Our granddaughter received this as a gift
5/5

Despite her young age, she has quite a bit of potential. In addition to being well made, the pole is heavy duty and will last for a very long time. Also, the ball comes with it is awesome. Besides the hard one, we bought a softer one as well. His grandfather dug a hole and put cement in the hole since it was going to remain there permanently. I've been waiting so long!.

They brought us back to being kids! A fantastic pole like this exists
5/5

While it is fun for our grandson, we are a competitive family, so we have held MANY tournaments with it. Our yard was cemented right in front of us. There is a lot of people who put this in a tire when they want it to be portable, but I didn't see what the point was since it is a steel pole and the rope and ball can be removed for storage. It might be a good idea to buy a softer ball for your kids. It is pretty hard to do the one included.
