Has given us so much fun over so many years – We got our large square spring free almost 7 years ago . Our family of 5 ( and countless family and friends) have had a ball on it ever since . We have needed to change the net , mat and some rods recently , but , given the amount of use it has had , this is expected . In fact , given the amount of use and that it sits in the sun/rain etc. All the time , it has worn remarkably well . The addition of the basketball net has added to the fun .
