Bought for teens this summer, I was afraid he was not strong enough. The base is good, the post is a large diameter, the CERLE looks solid too. And the adjustable height is perfect. We did not even put up. The assembly is not complicated (we had already experienced with other front). With time and a winter outside, remains to be seen if the panel will not lose its color. The previous (another brand) became all white and had the first year following the broken balloons impacts after 2 years. for now, this one held throughout the summer despite greater force launched our teens. Maybe not enough perspective to judge in time, but for now, nothing to report.
