So, you are thinking of building a GaGa Ball Pit — we are here to help!  Our systems are made to easily construct your own pit, saving you time and money. Whether you are a master builder or have never drilled anything before, our kits provide step by step instructions and videos to guide you along the way.

 

First, decide if you would like your pit to be outside (either always in one location or may move only occasionally) or if you need to set up/take down each day and store when not in use. We have a solution for both scenarios. All of our GaGa Ball pit models can be made as portable as you need them to be.

Our portability solution helps you reduce set up and take down time to just minutes.

You have the choice to build your GaGa Ball pit with lighter weight lumber (either 1x lumber or plywood), for ease of mobility and storage OR heavier 2x lumber such as pressure treated or the Structural Composite option, for greater flexibility should you want to keep your GaGa Ball pit outside for the long term, only moving it on special occasions.

Choose your preferred bracket model, and then the corresponding Universal Connect Kit.

 

Next, look at your available space — the inside play area of a pit depends on the length of lumber used for your pit walls and the GaGa Ball pit shape you choose.   Standard wood or board lengths are either 8ft or 10ft long.  Our GaGa Ball pit models come in either Hexagon or Octagon shapes.

NOTE: Bigger is not always better for GaGa games — the goal is to keep each game moving quickly and competitively by keeping the inside play space sized appropriately to how many players jump in at the start of each game.  The most popular choice is to build an Octagon using 8ft walls.

 

GaGa Ball Pit System Measurement Wall To Wall
Pit Shape Using :  8ft Boards Using: 10ft Boards
HEXAGON – 6 walls 14.5 ft 18 ft
OCTAGON – 8 walls 20 ft 25 ft

 

NOTE:  When measuring, allow 3-5 ft on all sides outside of the pit to players to participate in and watch the game.

 

Then decide how high you would like your GaGa Ball pit walls — 30 inches (30H)  is most common, 24 inches (24H) or even 44 inches (Octagon shape only and for extreme GaGa ball enthusiasts).

 

After you have narrowed in on the GaGa Ball pit model you need —  next choose what material to build your walls with.  You can either purchase pressure treated or untreated wood locally to keep costs down and save on shipping, or purchase structural composite boards from us.

 

Purchasing your wood locally to save on shipping cost.

Our suggestion for wood is to purchase 8ft or 10ft treated or untreated wood.  See below for the number of boards needed for each GaGa Ball pit model.

REMINDER: Wood needs to be purchased from your local home improvement store or lumber yard.
