Your 4 y/o tetherball pole in concrete and tire is just what I'm looking for! My Starlink (satellite internet dish) is Gen3 and has no pole connector anymore. I bought a 10 foot 1 1/4 inch conduit pole from Home Depot for $76.00 last week in December 2023. I have no idea how to install the satellite dish in the ground and hoped for a less permanent install. Tire and concrete and rebar and pole seems like a solution to keep dish from swaying in the wind. What drill bit did you use for hole? What size rebar? Please let me know if the tether pole you made moves at all when noone is playing? Blessings to you and your family. ♥ * If your tether pole works for my Starlink, I'll definitely share your setup/process with starlink/reddit people. Also, can you recommend a scrap of pole/process like you have to make my starlink pole about 3 feet higher to get past the roof? The dish needs to see clear sky.
I hope this works out for you well. The tetherball pole stays put well in all weather conditions we’ve experienced. I used a 1/2 drill bit to drill the final holes for the 1/2 rebar. It’s a slightly snug fit but more or less a clearance hole allowing the rebar to slide into the pipe.
I used 40 gauge galvanized electrical conduit. It’s been holding up well. No issues with the structure. Only wear and tear is on the rope and tether ball.
Yes, as long as the concrete is reinforced with rebar inside the tire. Also as long as the tire used is large enough. Any standard sedan or minivan tire should do the trick.
I used a 225/65 R 17. Tire. You can use anything around that and it will work just fine. Pretty much any tire from a mid size sedan or a mini van will fit the specs.
Haha. Yeah I guess that is pretty true. Or with a couple people, just lean it over and roll it on the tire portion. That’s how I move it around when needed.

@ninja.widagun2145 definitely. I always make the scrap side with an X out of habit.
Take care.
It would have been nice to see a closeup of putting the rebar through the pole.

Great instructional video. Is the pole steel , what about eventual rusting? Thanks, can’t wait to make this with my boys
The pole I used is made of galvanized steel. It shouldn’t rust for a very long time.
Thank you for the feedback and enjoy your project. Take care.

Nice 🤙🏼
What was the gauge on the pole ,hows it holding up?..Mine will be 8 to 10 ft.Thnk you for your help!

If you have a ladder attach the pole firmly to the hinge
then you will be able to move the ladder
north south east or west
until the pole is plum
Good idea. Thank you for the feedback. Take care.
Hi, and thank you for your video, its great, about how much spend, total, for the pole, not the ball, thank you~
I believe the pole was about $40
@@HeDoes got a 10' pole from lowes for $17
That’s a good deal. Good luck on the build.
@@HeDoes turns out it's an 8' post from the chain link fence section. also, they sell caps for the top to keep water from getting in
Is a concrete/tire tetherball set like this strong or sturdy enogh for rough adults players?
Yes, as long as the concrete is reinforced with rebar inside the tire. Also as long as the tire used is large enough. Any standard sedan or minivan tire should do the trick.
@@HeDoes Great. Ty
Do you Privately sale these
Sorry, currently I do not. Maybe something I’ll have to look into in the future. Thanks for the interest though. Take care.
what size and kind of pole is that?
The pole used here is 1 1/2inch-10 foot galvanized rigid conduit. You can find it at most hardware/ home improvement stores.
what size tire?
I used a 225/65 R 17. Tire. You can use anything around that and it will work just fine. Pretty much any tire from a mid size sedan or a mini van will fit the specs.
Seems too short or is that a good height
It just depends on who will be using it. A lot of people build them at 10 feet.
Oh ok thanks looks great!

Make it wooden with the help of the Woodglut instructions.
Not very portable unless you are strong asf
