great size.  Sturdy enough side netting.  My husband put this together himself in 3.5 hours.  He said it was easy to assemble, just took patience since he did it on his own especially when attaching the springs.  We actually burred half the legs into the ground and it is VERY sturdy.  It has already provided hours of entertainment even in the 30 degree weather.  Pros: great size for the price
