What matters most
The systems are similar in build, so the practical split is range and price. The Capital Play 11x8 In-Ground is rated to 220 lb at about $2,135, with a 10-year frame, 5 years on the mat and springs, and 2 on the pads. North's in-ground models run higher in price but offer more sizes and shapes and a slightly higher 243 lb limit, with comparable warranty terms. So if the 11x8 footprint suits your yard, Capital Play is the simpler, cheaper route; if you need a different size or shape, North's wider range is the reason to spend more.
