This trampoline was perfect for our space. We didn't have enough clearance for a round 15 foot trampoline yet didn't want to downsize (having three children who would be using it).  This trampoline is a bit pricey but worth every penny!! The kids (9, 7 and 3 yrs. are jumping everyday) and I see our family getting many more years of use out of this item.  My husband was able to put this together, by himself, in one afternoon with the pulling tool that comes in the box.  No need to purchase an additional tool.
