    I was surprised to use five 60 lb. bags to fill a mini-van's tire. That is 300 lbs! Works great, though.

    This depends on who will be playing it the most. If you're making it for children, the ball should sit naturally at about a child's chest height. That way, when it's swinging it would take a good amount of effort to return.

    The supplies to build the pole and court can be found at your local hardware store. A tetherball can be found at sports shops, like Sports Authority or Dick's Sporting Goods. You can also find them online.

    Shouldn't the eye bolt on top of the pole be on a swivel so the ball can rotate on the pole without gathering the connecting rope on every revolution?

    No. You want the rope to wind around the pole.

    An actual tetherball has a rubber eye hook attached to it so that a rope can be tied to the ball.

    Is there a tetherball that can be used with both a volleyball and a tennis ball?

    A tetherball is the size of a volleyball. A tennis ball wouldn't work as well, because it's not heavy enough. It wouldn't have the right momentum.
