You can usually rent a piñata tripod from most party supply stores. Make sure you choose a large area with plenty of open space for the piñata, such as an open area of the lawn. Party goers should be able to swing at the piñata in any direction and not be remotely close to hitting anything other than the piñata.
If the legs are uneven in height, readjust them by realigning their small holes with different screws.
Make sure the rope is dangling in the center of the tripod. Avoid pulling the piñata so high that it’s out of reach for your partygoers. They should be able to easily hit the piñata with a stick or bat while standing on the ground.
You can hold the rope during the game so that you can adjust the height and create a challenge for the players if you want to, but you don’t have to. You can also tie the rope to something sturdy when the piñata is at the desired height.
