Questions & Answers

Tetherball can be played by dogs. Does anyone have such a pet? The model looks promising. Do you think it is the right ?

Playing tetherball with my boxer is one of his favorite activities. Even though the ball has taken some damage, it is still in good shape. Due to her enjoyment of the ball, I have already purchased a second one.

The box in which it is packed is what size and how many pounds does it weigh? Do you think I can carry it in my Can you tell me how much the box weighs?

35 inches by 35 inches by 8 inches

In what proportions does sand have to be used to fill the base?

The number we used was Sand bags were each 50 pounds, so there were 5 bags total

We just put this together after receiving it a week ago. As a result, the pole seems loose, and it is very difficult to screw the pole tight enough so that it remains stable. Would you like to make a suggestion?

You need to make sure the disk or flange is properly seated beneath the base. It will no longer move once it is seated. Tighten it up once it is seated, so it won't collapse. It happens from time to time that we have to tighten ours after a month or two of playing them. This should be of some assistance.

5/5

These are the best sets my kids have ever owned. During the summer, the machine was used every day. I found the setup to be quite easy as well. Following the directions is all you need to do. It was a bit too much fun for me and my kids, and we broke the top assembly part (our fault). The top assembly part was actually quite easy to replace.

These are six years old and still going strong
5/5

The tetherball stand we bought for our son for Christmas in 2013 is awesome! We have a son who plays this at school and he really, really wants one for our home. I totally lost everything because my son lied to me. This is something he just played with two times when it was brand new, then for the rest of the week it became a fun obstacle to mow around. Having struggled for a long time, I am finally giving up on my son using this, so we are giving it The software seems to hold up pretty well after six years, I believe. Neither shade nor protection from the elements have ever been applied to this plant. The area has been exposed to hot, sunny temperatures most of the summer, and a lot of rain and rainwater, but very little cold weather, And yet, the tetherball stand is still there. Using water to hold ours down was the only method we used and we never faced any problems. The grass grew around it, and more interestingly, when grass clippings landed on it after mowing around it, grass started to grow on top of the base of the fence. Despite its weakness, the rope that connects the ball to the stand still seems to be strong and usable. Straight and upright, the pole appears to be. Despite the ball still being there, it definitely shows it is the most aged. Even if you need to replace it, you can get really good ones on this website for around $20. It seems like it still has a few more years before it needs to be replaced but if it does need to be replaced then you can add some air to it. 100, which is still far below the $100 threshold. The price we paid for this complete set was $600. Sadly, when I tried to search for replacement balls on this website, I wasn't able to find any for this same brand, so that was a bit of a letdown. Nonetheless, I found some highly rated ones that have bright and attractive I am attaching some pictures of how our tetherball stand looks in its current state without any cleaning, and after simply popping the holes open to drain the water. In my post I am including a picture of the tetherball at the current age. What would you say to a future buyer of this product? It is an unfathomable concept that I would not do that since my kid scammed me the first time and said, "Scam me once, shame on you, scam me twice, shame on you". I'm sure I could recommend this exact same tetherball set to anyone who I knew was looking for one, however, because after nearly six years outside, it is still in excellent condition and is still able to be passed on to my friend so her children can enjoy In general, I consider this to be a great product.

There was no sand in the filler) and it worked well for about two games before the pole started having trouble
3/5

I set it up (using water instead of sand for the filler) and it worked well for about two games but then the pole began After the bolts on the base plate were tightened, I moved the tractor to the side and tightened them. The bolts I tightened up are now digging into my concrete driveway after I tightened them up. When moving it around I'm sure this would not be a problem. However, when moving it from one spot to the next it is awkward because of the loose pole. Now with the pole tightened it moves more easily, rope and ball are well made and the ball appears to be well made. told me the ball fell As it turned out, the clasp connecting the rope to the pole had I added some "locktite" to the screws and now they will only unscrew when I want them The pole, ball, and rope were all I really needed so I should have just bought those and then gone off "old-fashioned" The concrete used in these tires comes from "school" and is compounded with concrete (which I'm planning to use in this tire). I am glad I got it on sale, but I am *BIG UPDATE As the pole keeps getting loose, I have tightened the bolts as much as I can (they are about an inch lower than the base bottom) without it breaking, yet it still keeps flopping around so the second star has slipped away. I liked the idea, it was a good price, but as a whole, it's a waste of money! I would like to point out that my kids only play it normally (not swinging on it or yanking the ball around) for about 30 minutes per day Every other day, you should spend 45 minutes working out. As I said before, I'm now heading to the store to buy some concrete and tires. * * *P. We bring in the ball and rope whenever we are not playing with them (we use them when we are not playing with them).

The space is easy to navigate The product has held up well when kids and adults play
5/5

It was a little difficult to put together, and did not come with one of the needle/inflators. Thanks to my husband for having them on hand, and a discount from Amazon for the missing pieces, I was able to complete the project. I'm pleased with the way it's held up. There was just enough water in the base to keep it stable, but not completely full. The dice do not roll in the sense that they are being rolled. No wheels can be seen Simply lean it to its side and roll the base in that direction. Initially I was concerned that it would be too heavy to move, but so far it hasn't been an issue. Our kids play with this toy when we keep it out of the way. When they want to play with it, they (or one of us) will roll it to the designated area and I have no problem with that at all. Therefore, it does not deter them from playing because it's not in its proper place all of the time. So far this has held up very well. We have put this to use with three boys and adults. Solidity is present in the base. Play isn't compromised by the pole's wobble, but it does add to the experience. Though it's not really stable like the one you'd find in a school that is firmly cemented into the earth, it is still quite durable. There are lots of rules that the kids come up with to win versus the adults, which is fun to watch. We were well-rewarded with the money we spent!.

Having fun playing tetherball as a kid again! A tetherball like this is the best! When I was a young girl growing up in the sixties and seventies, I loved the sport of tetherball
5/5

One was in our backyard, where my brother and I would play it a lot. Since it was so easy to set up when I saw it advertised, I knew it would be the perfect one for me. The pole can be set up without having to dig a hole in the ground. The best part of it is that! In the game, you set it up in a hard plastic looking tire which is filled with water so the game is secure. My mind immediately filled up with memories of playing with my brother and at school as soon as I started playing. When I played a game against my eleven year old grandson, I felt as if I were in grade school again!.
