Well after assembling two of different makes for family friends in the past this is the step up. It is solid and sturdy. The plastic ones just do not last. This stores differently in tje fact that just the feet assembly comes off then clips to the side for storage. I would buy it over the plastic or pvc one any day.
Don't like the soft balls so I ordered had balls. They dent the metal pipes . I though metal ladders would be sturdier then pvc but golf ball bolos don't work without screwing up the rails. It is a sturdier ladder then pvc just don't work with hard balls . Soft balls were filled with sand like stuff. And plugs come out and sand falls out. I got 1 inch pvc & put over metal rails so I can use real bolo balls
