PRODUCT QUESTIONS
Q: How Large Are The Buckets?
A: The Opening at the top of the Buckets is approximately 8-1/2 Inches in Diameter and the Buckets is approximately 8-1/2 inches tall.
Q: The Buckets Arrived Stuck Together. Is There A Trick To Help Get The Buckets Unstuck?
A: (These instructions are for a right hand person. Reverse hands and directions if you are a lefty.)
- Using your left hand, secure the bottom bucket against your body tightly.
- Grab the rim of the top bucket with your right hand and pull the rim toward you so the bucket is rotating in a clockwise direction. While doing this, try pulling the bucket out from the bottom bucket.
The idea is to rotate the top bucket out from the bottom bucket. Doing this method should make it easier to remove the bucket.

A: Yes there is and they are included in every purchased set of BucketBall Beach or Giant Beer Pong Edition. You can also check out our How To Play page on Bucketball.com for the game rules.
Q: Do I need to fill the buckets with water to play?
A: You can use either sand, water, corn-hole/beanbags, or our BucketBall Inflatable Racks to help weigh down or lock the buckets in place to keep them from tipping. However you are not required to use these in order to play. Be sure to check out our How To Play page for additional details.
