Re: Jammed Ball Bin-Storage Help!

We had the same issue at GLR. We ended up using the format you drew in picture 2, made out of taut netting, and it's worked great for us since.

If you want to keep ball capacity high, you could design a spiral ramp. It may take longer, but if built right, it pretty much guarantees that balls do not get stuck.
