What matters most
Warranty and capacity favor the Akrobat. The North 15x10 In-Ground is rated to 243 lb at about $2,849, with a 10-year frame, 5 years on the mat and springs, and 2 on the pads. The Akrobat Primus Challenger 14x10 is rated to 331 lb at about $3,099, with a lifetime frame, 12 years on springs, and 5 years on the mat and pads. So the Akrobat costs about $250 more but allows more weight and protects the frame and springs for far longer. For a long-term in-ground install, that cover can justify the premium; if budget leads, North delivers a solid in-ground rectangle for less.
