GaGa Ball Surface Requirements
The surface within the Ga-Ga Pit should be as smooth as possible. Concrete or asphalt is recommended for the fastest and maintenance free results; but other surfaces will work too. Grass or dirt will work, but there will be some maintenance involved. When it gets wet, it may become a mud pit. Another alternative is stone dust, screenings or even wood chips. These materials will require more maintenance. Wood chips or other safe surfaces on the outside of the pit may be used to absorb any falls when participants go over the wall once eliminated from the game.
If you choose not to permanently mount the GaGa Ball Pit, then you can place the pit on grass and move it around as the grass deteriorates or mud appears.
The important factor to include in choosing your Gaga Ball playing surface is the play-ability of the surface. The game works best when the surface provides some bounce for the ball used. Gaga Ball surface requirements are really up to the owner, the players and the budget. The cost of synthetic materials, like rubber tiles or matting, for the surface material can greatly increase the budget of the installation. If the GaGa Ball Pit is placed over asphalt or concrete, purchasing a synthetic outdoor carpet material or synthetic grass material may be glued down to the hard surface as a great way to reduce hand scrapes and create a friendlier playing surface.
If the pit is installed over grass, expect to have to move the the GaGa Ball Pit when the grass gets worn, or after rain fall to avoid a muddy surface.
