I'm hoping to place these on fence posts in our yard. Do you think they would break if hit by a baseball when the kids are playing?

No it would not break. The material is very strong. I did drop one and nothing happened. I have them installed on my driveway and my car drives over it. I think putting it on a fence post would be fine.

I don't think they would break. I have dropped them on my stone walkway (I have about 20 of them on the path to our house) when we were installing them, and they didn't break. They are heavily walked on, snow blowed over and many things dropped on them, and to date, none have broken. I have had them in place for two winters now.

It's a very heavy glass....the odds are small that a baseball could break it.

They're made of thick glass but I believe they would break if they fell to the ground.

How are you going to attach them? I want to do the same thing on my deck on the posts. Instead of the cheesy looking 'colonial' lights that go over the fence posts as caps.

Not sure about baseballs, but my daughter used it for softball and it did not dent.

Sure it could break... I would wrap it/them in bubble wrap & they should be fine.

The panels are well made and unless the child had on heavy shoes I don't think they could be damaged. If they weren't attached correctly to each other, they could be knocked over. If they are attached correctly it's pretty difficult to kick them apart. They have come apart when I've tried moving the whole thing to a different area.The good news is that although strong, they aren't really heavy so if a panel fell on him, it wouldn't severely injury him, maybe a bruise. The twins climbed on them, threw toys out of the play area and back in, and the playpen is still standing. :)

We have had them for about six months with no breakage. My kids aren't too rough but they aren't gentle either. They play with them regularly and there hasn't been a single issue, even with the ones my five year old has. I would say they are pretty sturdy.

They are durable and solid; however, when I place a firmed grip around them, they flex enough so there should not be any problem with the plastic cracking while the kids are having fun. I could be wrong but that's my opinion :-) about this product.

Probably not. We filled base with water and the posts would sometimes fall over when hit by a nerf ball. The uprights are short relative to the overall height.

If they are empty I am sure they can be knocked down. The "arrows" are soft enough to shoot at each other and I often surprise my kids with a sneak attack. It's a lot of fun to play and I've caught my husband picking it up a few times too.

i think it may be fine if they arent standing on it or jumping off of it. could be abit fragile for kids.

Yes, if kids are playing it should stand up to some sword fighting. I think the manufacturer warns against it due to risk of injury. If adults were to whack at each other with these, I'm sure they would break.

they're metal. they could be used outdoors (i don't know what you're intention is) but, they're not going to take a lot of beating.

Mine have not cracked or broken. If you intentionally tried to break them you could probably do it. I've bent them and they have never cracked.

My grandchildren play with them on the cement in my back yard. Pavement doesn't work and I wouldn't want them going down hill on them. I think a flat surface outdoors is what they do.

None have broken due to faulty arrows. They are very well made! However, if they hit something hard, sure they will break. My grandson says they are great.

If you make sure the velcro net tabs are tight around the post you shouldn't have a problem. As for Jesse's question; There is a black perimeter around the bottom of the net. After setup place the black portion under the cleat on the bottom of the posts and the net will stay secured to the ground. Great Questions!

I LOVE these mail boxes. I have two side by side in front of a duplex that I own. They are pretty tough but do not think they would hold up against a car. A baseball bat maybe.

In most cases it probably can stop a baseball although I haven't tried. The squares are about 2" so I think if you hang the net a little loose you shouldn't have any problems. But I guess it also depends on just how hard you hit that ball.
