The high walls of the Gaga pit are created by stacking an 8” x 48” border timber between two 12″ x 48″ border timbers. This creates side walls that are 32″ tall. Custom Gaga Ball Steel or Flex Spikes are included to connect the panels to one another and secure the gaga pit to the ground. The pit entrance is 20″ tall (the height of the 8″ panel stacked onto one 12″ panel).

Galvanized Steel Spikes vs. Flex Spikes
When selecting your Gaga Ball Pit, you have the option to choose between the traditional galvanized steel spikes or flex spikes. The flex spikes are made from impact-resistant nylon 66 polymer material that has been formulated to withstand hammer strikes.

Flex spikes are significantly lighter weight than their steel counterparts. They weigh only about 1/8th as much as steel spikes. This means they cost less to manufacture and ship, so we are able to pass these savings on to you. Flex spikes are made in the USA and are readily available for fast shipping.

Which type of spike is suitable for your installation will depend largely on the composition of the ground where it is to be installed. Flex spike tip: If the ground is too hard, or if you’re having difficulty driving the flex spike into a hard area, use a 5/8” or 3/4” drill bit to create up to a 12” deep “pilot hole” before driving in the spikes. The ground closest to the surface is often the hardest.

Flex Spike FAQ

Q: Are the Flex Spikes as strong, durable, and reliable as the steel spikes?
A: The surface you’re hitting the spikes into will, in part, determine that conclusion. Flex spikes are not universally accepted in all ground types. They have been field tested in Oklahoma, Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Arkansas, and Oregon. These tests concluded that flex spikes can be used everywhere, but sometimes the ground (or what’s beneath it) can be impenetrable. For that reason, it’s important to know what your local ground is made of. Certain materials like bedrock, sandstone, and limestone won’t accept steel, either!

Q: Are Flex Spikes a good option for Gaga Pits?
A: Flex Spikes are a great choice for Gaga Pit installation. The flex spikes actually help the walls flex out a bit (without the spike breaking) when kids inevitably run into or lean against the walls. This creates a little bit of “give” to absorb the impact during play. And since flex spikes reduce the overall weight substantially, you’ll save both money AND potential back pain!

Q: Do Flex Spikes work with Gaga Pit Flooring Kits?
A: Yes! Flex spikes are able to travel through the rubber flooring material and into the ground.

Q: How long is the Flex Spike warranty?
A: Flex Spikes includes a 5-year limited warranty.
