Skywalker Trampolines Oval 16 Trampoline with Enclosure Blue (Box 2 of 2) [40547736]

This trampoline met our expectations and has been a great addition to our backyard. The only "problem" we had with the trampoline was the poorly written assembly directions. Because this trampoline is oval, assembly has to be a little more precise than a circle and the directions were not so easy to follow. That aside, the assembled trampoline is fantastic!

So far ..so good! This is a good one! We just set up and it really wasn't bad once we got the hang of it. You HAVE to have two people. Lining everything up is key since this is an oval. Be careful putting on the foam (already ripped) and the screws and toppers not a great fit, which is why four stars. Give us thicker foam for goodness sake. They are all about the same. Otherwise, this is a great trampoline, not our first as we have three boys. The size is nice and big which is good (kids never jump one at a time). (I ordered a nice ladder from pure fun on amazon to help them get on without hurting their tootsies on a cheaper bar ladder.) Don't hesitate if you are considering this trampoline, it's the most bang for your buck and safe!! Believe me, I research like crazy. Kids need to play more outside and this is great excercise and Fun!

Hi Parents. I purchased this trampoline about 2 weeks before Christmas and assembled it with fear and trepidation as I knew that the instructions were wrong (as mentioned in the other reviews). Here are my suggestions to help you with the assembly (the Instructions that came with ours showed a round trampoline so let's assume you got the same set of instructions): -Christmas- order trampoline 3-4 weeks before needed- it took about 2 weeks before arriving at the store and I was really, really, really worried we would not have it until 12/26.... -I am glad we purchased one additional 'spring pull' from an online site (even though one good metal one comes in the box) -I am glad we purchased a great 3 step ladder (with flat steps) from Amazon for about $60 page 11 (in the Trampoline manual) Steps 1,2,3 - there is no way to screw the doo-dads to the end of the Key No 1 and Key No 2 tubes as the diagrams depict. Simply place the doo-dads on the opposite ends and continue on. page 12 Step 4- Use the short poles with a peak in them. (We accidently were using the long peak poles- which belong in the uprights so that wasted some time). page 12 Steps 5 and 6- because of the changes in steps 1,2,3, at least one of the 1 and 2 sections will be reversed (so that you won't have sections exactly as numbered in diagram E). page 13 Step 6, 7, 8- Lay out the Mat and mesh on the ground (and use a measuring tape to find the 16 foot direction of your trampoline frame (which is actually hard to see). Take your time in making sure the doorway is placed in front of a T-joint (not a joint with the square addition as an upright pole will be there). Based on the other reviews we decided to attach our first 8 springs first, then start assembly of 2 of the uprights nearest the door (pages 8, 9 of the Enclosure manual) to make absolutely sure that we were assembling everything properly. It paid off and we did not have to redo any of the assembly again!! Despite the instructions, this trampoline is great. I hope these suggestions help you. I would definately recommend this trampoline- huge and sturdy!!

Could be less complicated to assembly! Little bit less hard to put pieces together! They sign confused all the pieces! Be careful when you start, you going to be so impatient at the begin and you wiil try to skip some steps! Then comes your nightmare!!!!! Everything will look good but the protection net will be in the wrong position then you will have to re doing the whole process! I CRIED!! When you end, finally, you will be happy! The trampoline its so worthy for the price... My son and his friends are in love! The size is bigger than you expect, so make sure you really have the right space in your backward!

My son really likes his trampoline and it is really nice and a large size. The only things we don't like is that the blue spring protector that goes around the top is cheap and the ties are cheap. One broke the first day we had it. Should have been made with stronger material. Also, 2 screws were missing from the box when we did the inventory before starting. This was inconvenient. The trampoline took hours to assemble as well.

We went with the oval trampoline for safety reasons. Round ones tend to pull everyone to the center. The oval (slight) allows the use of the entire jumping surface and keeps the kids from bouncing into each other. I'm guessing the directions were revised since previous reviews, because I was prepared to follow every reviewers advice in setup to avoid their nightmares. The given directions were accurate and easy to follow. It took 2 people about 3 hours tops. We've only had it for a week, so we'll see how durable it is, but so far, we love it.

My 12-year-old grandson loves the trampoline! My husband put it together relatively easily because he had assembled a round trampoline previously. However, he did not get the net lined up correctly at first and had to do that part over again. We are very happy with our purchase. Our grandson wanted to do flips, which were difficult to do on the round trampoline we had. This oval-shaped one is just perfect.

Good size, and the oval design makes it great. The instructions are a bit hard to understand, especially when you're trying to figure out the differences in the bends in the sides. I didn't install the safety enclosure (I personally think that it leads to more injuries), and that de-complicated the install significantly.

The Trampoline itself is fine and brought a huge smile to my daughter's face but the instructions are not clear...at all. The poles that hold up the netting to make it more safe were almost 2 feet too short (probably made for another trampoline) so we couldn't use the netting and decided to remove it instead of hassling to get the right sized poles. Buyer beware....

This is our 4th trampoline and by far the most confusing to assemble. Directions were poor. Missing numerous screws. All self-taping screws were missing along with all screws for the enclosure.
