(REAL NAME)   

I bought two of these to put together for a sixty foot cage. I was told that they withstand wind very well but snow or a buildup of leaves were not good on it. I live in the south and put the cage out in the open so I felt like things would be just right. After assembly it looked great and I thought I had purchased something for a bargain. Now don't get me wrong it is not top of the line but it did appear to be worth what I paid for it. A few days later we had a "breezy" day and the cage all but completly fell in. I got concerned enough that I contacted Trend Sports and actually talked to the man who supposedly designed the cage. He told me the cage was designed to bend but not break and that this was completely normal. He sounded almost mad that I was questioning his design continually telling me that I did not understand the concept. I do understand the concept but the problem is that it does this on all but calm days. Any kind of wind wreaks havoc on the cage and if it gets gusty (20-30mph) it will blow it almost flat on the ground. I bought this cage for Christmas so we have not seen a thunderstorm yet but I can only imagine what that will do. So far I have been able to go out and straighten it back up but the groung stakes are getting weak at the top were they are continually getting bent over. I wouldn't say that I got ripped off but I really do not think I would purchase this cage again.

I purchased this product with a pitching machine. It has some product flaws in the setup in the anchors but overall a good product. I live in Ohio and a few thunderstorms have taken a toll on the anchors. A redesign of the anchors to make them more durable would be good but it is worth the price I paid.
Definately not designed for windy areas.
