Skywalker Elite Series 15' Round Trampoline with Ladder

The unit appears to be well made, though only time will tell how durable it is. We previously owned a heavy-duty Propel model, and it didn't hold up particularly well over time. Assembly for this trampoline was straightforward, and the instructions were clear and easy to follow. One feature I really appreciated is the design of the safety net — it includes built-in slots at the bottom for the rings where the springs attach. On the Propel model, you had to force the springs through the netting itself to connect them, which eventually caused wear. Overall, the trampoline feels very sturdy. The jumping surface is a little slick — almost oily — at first, but hopefully that improves with use. The upright posts also have a higher-quality foam covering that seems like it should resist UV damage better than the Propel did. The spring pad appears to be made from a different material as well, so I'm hopeful it will handle sun exposure more effectively. For added stability, I anchored the trampoline with eight U-anchors and six screw anchors with straps. Another plus was the packaging: this unit arrived in two separate boxes, which made handling much easier. The Propel came in a single extremely heavy box that was difficult to move around. That said, this trampoline cost about twice as much as the Propel model. Whether the higher price is justified will depend on how well it holds up over time.

I purchased this Elite Series trampoline for the grand kids about a month ago. Delivery was fast. We did an inventory immediately upon opening the boxes and everything was there. The instructions are reasonably written. It took two people about 2 1/2 hours to assemble it and have the kids bouncing away. The trampoline feels sturdy and I like that it has a higher weight limit than standard Skywalker trampoline. So far I feel it was a great purchase. If anything changes, I will update the review.
