GaGa Pits

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.

There are five things to decide upon when purchasing a GaGa pit. 

• Shape, either octagon or hexagon
• Size, you can choose between 8 or 10 foot wall lengths, and wall heights of 24, 30, and 44 inches high (44H is only available for octagon pits).
• Wall Material; locally sourced dimensional lumber, our structural composite boards, and our full panel wall system)
• Colors! The wall brackets are offered in many colors, along with options for our structural composite boards, and our full panel wall system

NOTE: We also offer a value plastic GaGa system available here.

Shape and Wall Length

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.

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

Wall Height

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).

Wall Material

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, purchase structural composite boards from us, or use our full panel wall system.
