What diameter cord is used? What is the diameter of the plastic balls? Would a 1/4" rope fit through the ball if the cord was removed?

The ball is 1" in diameter but the ring around it makes that region 1 1/8" diameter. The hole is approximately 5/16" so would allow 1/4" rope to go through but not two of them the way the bungee is designed.

Hi James - Without measuring, I believe a 1/4" rope would fit very well if the elastic cord were removed. The balls are larger than the originals that came with the canopy...again, without measuring, I'd estimate approximately an inch and a half in diameter. Both the cord and the ball at the end are larger and more robust than the originals that came with the canopy, and we were very pleased with the results when we replaced the originals (which had stretched out and lost their elasticity in a matter of 4-5 months). Hope this is helpful!

It might be 1 inch diameter per ball. I am having issues with this pan because it sticks to the pan !! :(

Hello jd, The diameter of the paracord is 1/8' or 4mm. For product specific questions like this, it's best to contact the seller about the product. It'll be a much quicker response. Thanks!

David the ball is approximately 5.5 in diameters. I hope this helps you. Have a nice day.

I apologize, I described the diameter for the wooden stick. The ball is at least the size of a hand ball. It is about maybe 3-4 inches.

Just buy some heavy duty braided rope...like para cord, 50 or 100 ft. for just a few dollars, much better than a cheap plastic rope.Hope tis helps

Space between the net strands are 1-5/8" and do not deform much so that spacing should hold tight.For comparison, a lacrosse ball is around 2.5" in diameter which is just smaller than a baseball so I think a lacrosse ball would be fine.

I can't recall exactly, we use them at my in-laws' pool. I believe it is a little over foot in diameter when put back in the pouch. If I remember correctly, I'd say about 18 inches in diameter.

The width of the pulley where the rope would ride is 1/4". I use this pulley with cable.

The balls on mine appear to be chromed steel. I doubt that plastic balls would have enough inertia to make it make it work. As with nearly all Newton's cradles. the strings do get tangled quite easily so if you are not using the cradle, it is best to tie everything down to the base to prevent tangling during storage. My grandkids love to play with it but I do spend a little time untangling when the smaller ones use it. It is a fun and educational item for all.

I use this cable and the bigger size on everything cause I have a cat that can really do damage. This smaller one I use on speaker wires, etc. plus the air hose on my breathing machine which is 1/4" and it works great. When I measured the outside of my cable, it is 1/2". I hope this helps. Mary

The ball has a hole so you can put a rope through it. I use a cotton 3/8" rope and leave about 16" hanging to use for throwing. I can throw it about 250 feet that way, it's the dog's favorite by far. Keep cars and windows out of range!

The 8" bungee cord length is actually 1" ball plus 7" bungee (the elastic part). The fully extended elastic part is 14". Therefore, the ratio of the relaxed to fully extended elastic part is 1/2. FYI - the force to full extend is 8 lbs. I did this test on a new, unused one of these cords.JRR

If you take a string and wrap it around one ball it should measure slightly over six inches if it is 2 inches in diameter (roughly 6 1/4" or precisely 6.2832"). If it's 1 1/2" diameter it would measure 4.7124" in circumference.

You can cut the cord to any length. I pull the outer material past the end, then use a lighter to prevent fraying. The 3/8 is very thick for heavy applications. I tied a perfection loop knot and put brass swivel clips in the loops created by the perfection loop knot which is one of the few knots that hold bungee material. See: http://www.animatedknots.com/perfection/ The metal hooks you are looking for are typically made for smaller diameter bungee cords.

The size of the ball doesn't matter. It is the size of the shaft on the ball. A 2" ball is just fine, just make sure the shaft is the correct size.
