A lot of people have asked “Why would an adult want to own a ball pit?” There’s something about a ball pit that just screams pure fun. You can't sit in a ball pit and not smile. It’s like you turn to jello and float on plastic bubbles of multi-colored joy. One who spends a large portion of their summer in a balcony ball pit go on about its stress-relieving effects, or about “deciding what ‘being an adult’ means in the 21st century”, or even about how this is probably something you dreamed about as a child/teenager/college student, but really, it’s a ball pit on a balcony. How does that not sound awesome? | A lot of people have asked “Why would an adult want to own a ball pit?” There’s something about a ball pit that just screams pure fun.

# Decide on your size and location. Unless you have an extremely large budget, you will probably not want to fill your living room with playpen balls, as this will be quite costly. A small spare room or a balcony/patio area can be great because you can partition off part of the area for the ball pit, allowing you to keep the size (and therefore cost) to a minimum. If you’re choosing to use your balcony, be sure that it has a roof or that you will otherwise be able to seal the area so no balls to escape and no water or outside dangers (such as bugs) can get in. Also remember that the position of you ball pit is important for both safety and economical reasons. Building your ball pit in a corner, for instance, can eliminate the need for you to build two sides of your frame. | # Decide on your size and location.

# Add toys, friends and enjoy! A small basketball net is a must for any ball pit. Not only because it’s fun to shoot hoops with playpen balls, but because it will also give people something to throw them at other than each other... or you. Also, an inflatable shark just makes sense. Every ball pit should have a shark in it. Now get into your colorful box of awesomeness, call all your friends, convince them that you have actually done this and aren’t just pulling their leg, and have a blast! | # Add toys, friends and enjoy!
