This playground has been a life saver! With a home surrounded by nothing but dirt, no fences, and construction, we needed something for our kids to do outside. This playground was our answer for it all! The metal and plastic is sturdy and holds up well against all the wind and dirt, not to mention my roudy kids. I also highly recommend springing for the install. They came and put it together in about 4.5 hours and did a great job; much more preferable to the headache and 2plus days to get it done.
