2by2 26′ In-Ground Gaga Ball Pit

Description

Bring the fast-paced fun of Gaga Ball to your school or neighborhood with the 2by2 26′ In-Ground Gaga Ball Pit. It has 24″ sidewalls and uses 36″ spikes that anchor the pit into the ground. Please note, when using the in-ground mounting method, the spike will always travel into the ground. Some accommodations may need to be made to help the spike travel through anything in the way (concrete, rubber flooring, asphalt, etc).

The in-ground 26′ Gaga Ball Pit can accommodate up to 30 players and is sure to provide endless hours of fast-paced entertainment. Gaga ball is fun for children and adults alike. Due to the fast-paced nature of the game, it is recommended for ages 5 and above.

Heavy plastic HDPE border timbers are incredibly durable and weather-resistant to withstand years of use. The 26′ Gaga Ball Pit is versatile and can be used for indoor or outdoor play. It’s designed for quick and easy assembly. Everything you need is included:

• (39) 12″ Black Border Timbers
• (20) 36″ Custom Gaga Ball Steel or Flex Spikes
• (2) 6” Border End Caps

The walls of the Gaga pit are constructed with 12″ x 48″ sections of borders that are double stacked. This creates side walls that are 24″ tall. The included custom Gaga Ball Steel or Flex Spikes connect the panels to each other and secure the gaga pit to the ground for added stability. The entrance is only 12″ tall (a single panel, rather than double stacked) to make entering and exiting the pit easy.

You may also elect to add a rubber flooring kit to create a smooth, even playing surface. The rubber flooring is made with custom 5/8” thick, 100% NWR vulcanized rubber flooring interlocking tiles that are 48″x72″ each. Flooring kits are sold separately.

The 2by2 26′ Gaga Ball Pit includes a ten-year limited warranty, with the exception of the flex spikes, which include a 5-year warranty.

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.
