Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between tether ball and funnel ball equipment?
Tether ball uses a traditional pole with a ball attached by rope or chain, while funnel ball features a funnel-shaped target at the top of the pole where players try to score points. Tether ball requires 2 players hitting the ball in opposite directions around the pole. Funnel ball accommodates multiple players taking turns shooting the ball into the funnel target.
How much space do you need for a commercial tether ball installation?
Commercial tether ball requires a minimum 20-foot diameter clear zone around the pole per CPSC guidelines. The standard pole height is 10 feet with an 8-foot tether rope, creating a play circle that needs 6 feet of clearance beyond the rope's reach. Your surfacing must extend to cover this entire safety zone.
What age groups can safely use tether ball equipment?
Commercial tether ball is designed for ages 5-12 years according to ASTM F1487 playground safety standards. The 10-foot pole height and rope length work best for elementary school children. Funnel ball equipment often accommodates a wider age range from 5-adult since players control the throwing distance and don't need to reach overhead.
