I was concerned about the pole being assembled from two pieces, and that was exactly what was wrong with it. Once assembled, the pole was extremely wobbly since (1) the ground sleeve was too short to keep the lower pole piece firmly in place, and (2) the top pole section, once inserted into the bottom, is very unstable.Better solution is to just go to your local fence supplier and buy an 11 foot section of 1 5/8 inch or 1 3/4 inch fence post and matching ground sleeve (min 12 inches, or longer - just make sure to extend the pole length to accomodate the longer ground sleeve).Then just buy the rope and ball set.My local fence co charged $25, and that included a cap and eye ring at one end so I could connect a teatherball rope.FYI, I tried to contact Park and Sun for their feedback about my comments and they never bothered to reply.Don't waste your money.Click Here to see more reviews about: Park & Sun TP-158 Deluxe Power Pole Tetherball Set
