I highly recommend this trampoline. It is a superior quality. I live in the south so we have both tornadoes and hurricanes. I was a bit worried before i purchased it, but a few weeks ago we had cold fronts pushing through the area with tornadic activity. I didn't even think about it when i looked into the back yard and it was exactly where it was supposed to be. But then i started hearing the stories about my friends that had too go pull theirs out of bayous, and ditches, and trees. So when i say it is worth the money, believe me the peace of mind is worth the money.
