Tetherball is a classic backyard game that never goes out of style, and this Hathaway tetherball set brings the back-and-forth competition home. The kit includes a 4-piece powder-coated steel pole that assembles to a full 9-ft (108-in) height, an 8.5-in inflatable tether ball with cord, a 30-in fillable base, three ground stakes and a pump with needle. Fill the 11-gallon base with sand or water; sand is the suggested fill for a steadier hold, while the ground stakes give extra grip on grass. Setup takes about 10 minutes with no tools, and the adjustable rope lets players of different heights compete. Designed for ages 12 and up, this tether balls and rope set is a fun addition to birthdays, holidays and family gatherings. Adult supervision is required whenever younger players are in the game. When play is done, the pole sections store under the base, and at 18 lb total, the tetherball set is easy to carry and put away. It is backed by Hathaway's 90-day limited warranty and U.S.-based customer support.
