Perfect size for our family.

We have 5 children and I couldn't imagine having a smaller one. Easy to set up. I do recommend watching a YouTube video on others setting it up to help keep you from a few small but time consuming mistakes.

Good trampoline

This is a quality trampoline and is definitely worth the money. Putting this thing together, on the other hand is another story. Long story short, the wife and I nearly got a divorce because the lack of clarity of the instructions. Since this is an oval trampoline the correct pieces were very difficult to identify what order to go in. Once together this trampoline is awesome!

Read the Instructions!!

We assembled our 15' X 17' trampoline. It wasn't bad at all. I had already read somewhere else that reading the instructions was very important. I definitely agree. Because it is OVAL, you have to make sure that the oval frame is at the same angle as the oval mat and the oval spring protector. My hubby put together the frame by himself. The metal is covered with some protective black slimey stuff so you definitely want to wear gloves that you're willing to throw away. I showed up to help after the frame was put together and in the correct position. We laid out the mat and installed the 96 springs. I thought that they'd be difficult, but if you use the tool or follow the suggestion of pulling with an extra spring, they were quite easy. I'm not a big woman and I could do it! Our 9 year old loves it. She's an only child, so I thought she'd be a little bored. But I bought a few beach balls to keep in there and she's loving it. Definitely buy the accessory kit with the ladder and the tie-downs. I don't know how you're supposed to get into it without the ladder.

Great size for a Trampoline

Great size for my 3 boys; my 6'3" son isn't afraid of bouncing off if he tries a flip. We had a round one before, but really like having a long side now. Easy to put together, if you have a power screwdriver and two adults. I did it with my 17 yr old son (and my 9 yr old "helping"). I suggest you wear work gloves, as the pipes come with a greasy coating to protect them. You'll also want gloves when installing the springs. We didn't install the enclosure, and had no problems in that respect. Of course, the manufacturer doesn't reccomend that. Follow the instructions when installing the springs & you won't have to strain so much hooking them up. We starting going in two directions and couldn't pull it together. We went back and followed the directions and it was fine. Still, not for a weak muscled person. We also got the accessory kit.

Kids will enjoy & nicely priced

After searching all spring and summer I was finally able to find this one in stock. Yes, there were more expensive ones online but I like saving money! This one fit our budget and had good reviews. I do recommend watching YouTube on how to assemble so you're not wasting time for for 45 minutes like us lol. The instructions were a bit confusing till I watched the video, after that is was a breeze to set up and went fast. The best part is watching your kids laughing and having fun! This is a big trampoline, that all 5 of our kids enjoy a lot. We had a Jump King that lasted almost 14 years, this Skywalker dosen't seem quite as heavy duty, the frame is not as solid and thick, lighter weight. The mat also isn't as tight but the kids haven't complained. One thing we all noticed is the opening on the net should go further down. I see this ripping sooner than later, with all the pressure from them climbing in and out all day.The frame is tall so a ladder is a must! We did by the Skywalker tie downs and it hasn't lifted or moved, even in horrible winds. We have had this trampoline about a month and a half so far and will update again.

Good product for the price

I think the product meet expectations. The quality in relation to value and cost is very good. Delivery was done as promised but with no fault from Sam's club the delivery company don't do deliveries on Saturday or Sundays so make sure you allow extra time. Ensemble of the product was easy an was put to good use same day.

Good trampoline for a good price

Let's face it, most of don't want to spend or cannot afford to spend upwards of $1000 on a trampoline. My kids are 11 and 13, they won't be using this trampoline for more than a few years which makes it perfect for our family. If I had much younger kids, I think I would invest in the expensive springless kind of trampoline. That being said, this trampoline is a great compromise. It was fairly easy to put together, it took my husband and I (and the help of 3 13 year olds and an 11 year old to hold the frame) about 3 hours. And that was with maybe an hour of help from me. The worst part was figuring out which was the long end of the oval to fit into the long end of the frame. It's like trying to figure out the fitted bedsheets with the elastic all the way around. We tried at least 5 configurations and had to hook about 1/3 of the springs to see if we had it lined up correctly. My advice is to get a measuring tape and measure the frame (easy) and the trampoline itself (not so easy when it is not stretched out) and hook every 5th or 6th spring around) and you will be able to tell pretty quickly if you have the oval correctly aligned with the frame. Just keep rotating until it looks right. We have had the trampoline up for about a month and the kids are still enjoying it. It is holding up well. I would recommend the stakes which I am going to order since we are on a bit of a hill and the wind can really catch things in our back yard.

Instructions: Let me help you out

My kids love this trampoline. It has plenty of room for tumbling and multiple kids playing at the same time. However, the instructions that came with it are worthless. The instructions refer to the round, not the oval, trampoline. The alignment on this one is critical. The online instructions are also flawed. Two very simple instructions would clear up all of the confusion: (1) The perimeter frame is marked with key #1 and key #2 on the curved framing members. The pattern is 1-1-1, then 2-2-2, repeated twice as there are 6 pieces to form the oval. (2) The net enclosure opening should be lined up with the center of the middle #2 framing member to properly align the trampoline mat to the frame. It amazes me that these simple instructions cannot be found in any printed material. This can only be found on the YouTube video instructions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KEBn_qLOcg

Great Quality = Horrible Instructions

The quality of this trampoline is great but it was a pain to put together. We have put together one other trampoline prior to this one of another brand and these directions were horrible. We liked how the enclosure is connected through the hook that the springs attach to but once we went to attach the poles that hold the enclosure up we realized that the part where the poles attach were not aligned with the frame that the enclosure poles attached too, which meant that we had to take off ALL of the springs and the mat off and start again. It was very frustrating but our daughter and her friends have jumped on it and camped out on it since we put it up a few days ago, so it was worth it :)

Disappointed kiddos

Purchased this trampoline at last October when there was a sell for my children as a Christmas gift. But because we did not open it and put it together until Christmas Day there was no warranty on the mat. Needless to say the mat had a rip in it so my children were never able to use it. Tried to contact Sam's and the company, but since we purchased it in October and held onto it until Christmas, they basically told us that we were stuck with it. I would just advise anyone not to purchase this ahead of time as a gift because if anything is wrong with it when you go to put it together, you will be stuck with it.
