How many balls should I buy to fill this? 200? 300?

I believe I bought 200, it's pretty covered but 300 might be better. The tent is pretty flimsily made doesn't take a lot of roughing up. Balls are easily squish able but okay for younger children. Hope this helps.

200 fills the bottom quite well...any more than that and they would spill out, because the lip is fairly low.

We bought 300 (3 bags of 100 count balls). The more you put in the tent the better.

It is a same ratio as sand, 1:1 Therefore you will need 6 bags total weight 300lbs. You will not be disappointed. The weight capacity should be marked on your filter. I have a 16 by 32 feet pool and the 200lbs capacity filter works just fine. I do cover the pool in the high pollen season. Unless you have a pool larger than 16 by 32, you might be ok with 200 lbs. You can experiment. You can always add more later. My pool company sells this for $80 a bag but they do put it in. When doing it yourself I had to take a cup to empty out the sand because the filter was too heavy to move. My teenage son helped. Good luck.

Just to reiterate, takes a lot of balls to fill. We bought 1000 and it is still no where near full. It covers the bottom, but is not full like a regular ball pit.

Yeah I believe you can buy 300. It will be from different sellers as I do not believe anyone has that quantity in the Amazon Fulfillment center. Hopefully this answers your question.

I bought a bag of 300 and it wasn't near enough, that barely covers the pit with 1 layer. We switched to giant foam blocks, it is easier and softer.

Hi, we do have a combination posting with 100 play balls and the tent. Please see link: http://www.amazon.com/Sale-Classic-Polka-Stick-Phthalate/dp/B00L7ZLPJW

I believe I put around 150 balls in the top container on my Lobster. It is a great machine. Worth the money to get your skill level back up.

Depending on how full you want it? I would suggest 2 bags of 100 balls! Gives it the perfect fullness!

I bought 1200 balls and it filled it about 6" deep. So I would say 2000 would really be needed.

You will need around 500 lbs. to fill it, however we only put 300 and it does just fine for kids to play in. Just your preference.

The machine comes with 24 balls. Replacement balls can be purchased at your local sporting goods store.

150.The product description lists the quantity: "Add 150 new balls for any Step2 inflatable product"

It comes with either 3 or 5 balls. I think 3. I'd definitely get a bucket of balls with it.

I suggest filling about 1/3 to 1/2, depending on need. Any more and you may have a mess on your hand, as the foaming will add volume.

I think we started ours with the two bags of 200 and ended up getting 9 bags total. 9 makes it really full but not necessarily needed. I would say maybe 4-5 bags is plenty since most of the work is getting them out. :) Hope that helps

To be honest I only purchased an additional 100 and it was no where near full. I asked the kids if they would prefer to have it full or a small amount of balls? They said that it would not be able to fit everyone in if there were a lot of balls.

A small amount. It is best to purchase a larger roll(s) and use it from the get go. Keep the small roll in case you run out of the others.
