Let me start off by saying that I did an insane amount of research before making a final decision to give this one a shot & make the purchases. I found Wayfar to have the best price... by a lot!!! We’ve bought 4 trampolines in the past and each one never lasted more then a year or 2 before being ripped out of the ground(with being stakes down) & flying across our yard due to wind, or they simply just lost its bounce and was no longer worth going on. Now that we have had it for 7months, I think I can give an honest opinion. The trampoline has been by far my kids favorite(vs. all our previous round ones), I love that it can handle more weight on it at once and has plenty more surface space. The kids say that it is still as bouncey as the day we built it & it has with stood our crazy Chicago weather! All four seasons with out taking flight, getting a rip in the net, or loosing bounce... & my children are 11, 13, & 15 years of age! If your hesitant... just buy it!
