Skywalker Trampolines with Enclosure and Wind Stakes, Blue & Black, 14'

Purchased this item for my children (10, 11 & 12) They LOVE this trampoline. At a recent birthday party, it was the central activity,,, for two days straight. My children even migrate to it to do their homework and for reading time. Once they're done, it's playtime once again. Not difficult to assemble but I do think some may not have the muscle to attach all the springs. The spring attachment tool broke during my assembly so I had to modify my process. That spring tool certainly comes in handy and I wish there was a second tool or a better quality tool included. So far, my family is extremely satisfied with this trampoline but more time is needed to speak to the durability. We've only had it 2 weeks, but LOVIN' IT. The trampoline looks good too. It's a sturdy and well put together unit. I'm proud to have it as a fixture in my backyard. During my selection process, I was concerned that a 14' might not be big enough. I was really considering the 15' or larger. Turns out the 14' is quite adequate in size. It was a fabulous size choice and I don't regret the decision or feel like I settled for "less".

This is a wonderful addition to our backyard. HOWEVER, as many have said, the instructions have an error. The note after Step 4 says "make sure the enclosure door is centered over a T-Joint." Wrong! It should be centered over a Socket. Skywalker Company should really fix this. After I realized this, I had to take off all the springs and re-do.

We previously had the 8"skywalker which was a lot of fun for our kids. As they've gotten older, they wanted more room to jump about. When assembling - play close attention to how the frame segments are aligned to support the safety netting later. The 'sockets' should be every other section. Instructions not clear on this and I learned the hard way.

This is a wonderful trampoline - debated long the choice of 14 or 15', and ended up with 14' due to yard size limits, and it SURE is big enough for my girls (age 6 & 7). They have been on it non-stop since we put it together. Really. I had no idea it'd be a magnet for their attention from getting up to going to bed. PLENTY of room for them plus 2-3 others, though no high bouncing when that many are aboard. I am VERY comfortable with the security netting - that's a really ingenious design, and I would not have bought without it. ASSEMBLY - read all the other posts, they are NOT kidding when they say read directions twice or more before setting out. Two tips: listen when they say "align the jump net properly with a T-junction, and NOT one that has the enclosure mount on it. ALign with one of the other, plain T joints. if you do not, you will have to unstring and re-do the entire thing. I'm glad I read carefully and read all reviews - I did it right first time. BUT - one thing I did not find in reviews was this tip: you must ensure that the t-joints are properly in order as you build the frame up. You start by building it in sections - but you MUST ensure that the t-joints look as they do in directions. That is, one at end of the section has the safety net enclosure post slot. The one behind it does not - it's plain. This must be same on ALL sections before you flip them over and slide them together to build the round frame. Otherwise, you will have to undo half the strings, all of the bolts, and move the t-joints around till they are proper. That is, as you go around in a circle, you have plain t-joint, then safety-post-joint, then plain t-joint, then safety-post-joint. There are 6 safety post joints, and 6 plain t-joints on that frame - and they ALTERNATE. Make sure you alternate, or you'll be up late completing the assembly..... Once I got it done, I was veyr impressed with the quality, and the girls absolutely love it - great exercise (wears them out for bedtime!), and dad loves jumping too! Highly recommended, easy to ship at Walmart to store, and the price was RIGHT.

I did a lot of research on trampolines. Looked up consumer reveiws and this trampoline for the price came up as top over and over again. The most important part to me was netting. The netting is a very strong and hooks into the pad instead of some older style trampolines where u just use rope to tie the netting to the pad. The base actually is screwed together to give the whole thing extra support. Overall I have had other trampolines but am so pleased with this product. The only down side is putting it together. You're going to need some help and follow the directions! My kids and the whole neighborhood jumps every day. We get four small kids on at one time with no problems. Good luck!!

I have always wanted a trampoline, and this summer my wish came true. I was searching for a while for the right trampoline for me, when I found the Skywalker 14' Trampoline and Enclosure with Bonus Wind Stakes. Putting the trampoline together was fairly simple with the help of my parent. It took us about 2 hours to get it all together and ready to jump. The hardest part was putting on the springs. You cannot put all of the springs on one side first, you have to spread them out around the frame. Make sure that you use the spring tool that is included. You CANNOT put on the springs without this. Overall it has held up well so far. It gets good bounce and it's a ton of fun! ( Still awaiting how it holds up in our Maine winters! ) Happy Bouncing!!!

Was very easy to set up, took abt 2hrs. My kids love it, it's like a giant playpen. The netting is secure, the kids cannot get their feet in the springs because of where the netting is placed! I love that not only does it zip closed but also has hooks, my. 9yo cannot unhook them which is great for any little neighbor kids that may wander into my yard. It's nice to know they can't get in when I'm not home! You will get a lot of bang for your buck with this trampoline! I even enjoy it!

Place net on pole before springing the mat, then set spring in 4 corner of the mat than put netting thru rings as you set the rest of springs. The instruction doesn't say to do this, but it keep you from unspringing then respringing. Then after all spring set, dislodge poles lay on mat then install spring pad, replace poles install black pole pads on bottom, done! This will shave hours off installation. Less than Hour to build this way!

Im not much of a Walmart fan, but the product we bought from them was much better than I had anticpated it would be. We bought the Skywalker 14' trampoline for our kids for Christmas. I was thinking it would have missing parts, poor quality and so forth. However, once the kids and I began assembling it, I noticed the "small" things that really made a difference in its quality. We've only had it a week now, but the kids love it. It was easy to put together. It took 5 hrs with the kids help, but I bet if I did it alone it would have taken 1/2 that time... :) . The engineers must have listened to feedback about other similar products because some of the small things that they did made a difference in the durability and overall quality. The guidelines state a max of 200lbs on it, but I think that is more for "guidance" or accountability. I was on it with one of my kids with no problems and that was about 250lbs. So far we are very happy with the trampoline.

Great price, wouldve been 5 star worthy but the sturdiness lost a star. This trampoline isnt made for a big family. It can hold a bunch of toddlers but if youre kids are 10 or older good luck getting more then 2 at a time on there without the springs going bad within a few months like ours did.
