Question

How much cement is needed?

Community Answer

I was surprised to use five 60 lb. bags to fill a mini-van's tire. That is 300 lbs! Works great, though.

Question

How far from the ground should the ball be ?

Community Answer

This depends on who will be playing it the most. If you're making it for children, the ball should sit naturally at about a child's chest height. That way, when it's swinging it would take a good amount of effort to return.

Question

Where do you get these things?

Community Answer

The supplies to build the pole and court can be found at your local hardware store. A tetherball can be found at sports shops, like Sports Authority or Dick's Sporting Goods. You can also find them online.

Question

Shouldn't the eye bolt on top of the pole be on a swivel so the ball can rotate on the pole without gathering the connecting rope on every revolution?

Top Answerer

No. You want the rope to wind around the pole.

Question

How do you get the ball and the rope put together?

Donagan

Top Answerer

An actual tetherball has a rubber eye hook attached to it so that a rope can be tied to the ball.

Question

Is there a tetherball that can be used with both a volleyball and a tennis ball?

Donagan

Top Answerer

A tetherball is the size of a volleyball. A tennis ball wouldn't work as well, because it's not heavy enough. It wouldn't have the right momentum.
