Garbuildman Tetherball Set with Ball & Rope for Outdoor Backyard, Adjustable Tether Ball Pole with Reinforced 5-Prong Base for Playground, Outside Ball Games Sports for Kids & Adults, Black

The media could not be loaded. Zero stars. Do not buy. This is a neat idea to have a portable game but less then 5 minutes of playing and the pole was swaying back and forth. The stakes are solid but the force of the ball is too much for the skinny pole. I stopped playing and left it to my kids who were promptly complaining that the pole was coming loose. By its nature if the person going counter clockwise is winning then the threads on the pole start to loosen. Perhaps a set screw might help! After. Continual tightening we gave up playing for the moment unable to finish a game. They started playing with it today and now the lower threads on the pole stripped out making it really wobble and permanently crooked. Basically it was a waste of money, skip this one for sure!!

item is sturdy pole and stake system, I drove it into the ground where we wanted it (I have mostly just sand here) so that was fairly easy, I thought about possibly putting it in a piece of concrete but that woud make it less nice to move later. Rope and ball are good and should be easy to replace if we ever need to.

Good for the price. Dont expect it to last long if you have a dog or rough kid. It snapped after three days of my cattle dog playing with it

The ball is hard as a rock, the pole is actually threaded together in 1 ft sections so when you hit the ball it actually comes unthread. The pretty nags are not long enough to hold into the ground. I would like to return it but we are past our return date. Kids got it for Christmas but just now getting warm enough to put it up and play. Too bad. You get what you pay for. I will now buy the one with one long pole, sand or water filled base and good real volleyball that is slightly cushioned. Not fun to play when it hurts! Lol

Pole bent very easily on first day using it.

Works great for my littles as i can move it easily to mow but its pretty solid in the ground so they can play with it

I wanted to love this and while it was up my kids loved it, we staked it down perfectly the directions in our backyard and the kids loved it, but lasted less than 5 months.The sections came unscrewed frequently, but we just tightened them down frequently so not a big deal. But then one day it was leaning at the base, so I thought maybe it had come unscrewed and when I looked, it had snapped off at the bottom where the 2 pieces screwed together. We would have had to have someone weld the pieces back together which would have cost way more than it was worth.Would say it was pretty pricey for only getting a few months out of it.

When we got this product one of the poles segments was striped so we cant get it to tighten and because of that it throws the whole thing off when playing with it. This causes the whole thing to become loose and crooked. I couldn't get ahold of anyone to fix this issue, but it makes it virtually useless the way it is now.
