The climber is located on our back patio on a rubberized mat as our backyard is sloped. The climber is sturdy and stays in place without the need for anchors. We are able to have a safe play space for our grandchildren inside our screened porch. The climber is large enough for multiple children to play on it at once without being in each other’s way. It stays clean and does not rust or mold. It did take 2 people to assemble this, but the process was fairly straightforward and we were done in a few hours! I would highly recommend this product. We added a little tykes basketball hoop to make an additional play area for the kids.
