This was very confusing, (due to poorly written instructions), to construct. Took forever putting together and undoing because pieces aren’t labeled or instructions aren’t clear.

We purchased this trampoline a few months ago to replace our old one. Although our old one had seen better days (8 years old) we wish we kept it now. It was way better quality. The old one was also a skywalker from Walmart (15'). The mat on the new one is very poor quality. When I was putting it together I didn't feel comfortable even standing on it to do the netting. I am under 200lbs and i felt like i was going to go through it it sagged so much. The metal posts and springs are also lower quality (compared to the old one). We still had the old one when I put the new one together and i knew we made a bad purchase when i tried bending both the old and new springs. The only good thing is that I don't have to worry about them doing flips any more. If your kids are younger (<8) then it will be fine. If they are older than 8 then they will get bored pretty quick.

This is a great trampoline. The instructions lack clarity. Hint. Line up the net mesh enclosure (where the poles will go) with the square openings on the trampoline frame or you will be taking off 96 springs and putting them on again. Using a tape measure is also critical. If I were writing the directions I would use bigger pictures and be more specific and go step by step. It is an oval trampoline and that makes a huge difference. Once installed CORRECTLY it is a great trampoline.

The trampoline was pretty easy to assemble. The only reason I give it 4 stars is that we had to remove the surround as it would block our views at the lake. We do watch to make sure the kids are not being dangerous. That being said it made it very difficult to place the mat as the trampoline is oval and not round. I did go on YouTube and found a video tutorial and we are 98% sure its where it should be. So, I guess its not the kids being dangerous we need to worry about.

Make sure you line-up the safety-net pole attachment straps with the safety-net pole holes BEFORE you begin attaching the springs. BEFORE BEFORE BEFORE!!!!!!!!!! - Also, you can find construction videos online. - Use one spring as a puller or the tool to attach springs. - The 2's are the more sharply curved sections. - It took us an afternoon. My daughter and her friends love it. I am happy we bought it.

This 17' x 15' oval trampoline is great. We replaced a 14' round and this oval gives a much better bounce. Unlike most other reviewers, I had no issues with assembly. All pieces were clearly marked, and if you read the instruction manual it is no problem.

I have been buying SAM's club trampolines for over 10 years as it is something that get my boys out of the house exercising. I have had the round, the square and now the oval. I love the integrated safety net and the post installation on this model. My only issue is that it came without directions and required me to look online to put together...a little more challenging then a round one and square as there is a sequence to how it goes together.

Item much smaller than description. Description states 17 x 15 oval trampoline yet kids described as not much different than round. Construction and sturdiness not much different when compared to more economical trampolines ($200-$300 price range). For the price point of this trampoline ($500) not worth the extra expense.

I would never buy another oval trampoline ever again. The directions are not the greatest and the start point of the trampoline could be more clear or at least marked. You have the round sides that are marked 1 and 2 you need to keep three 1s together and 3 2s together this is key. fold the trampoline in half to find out where your center is. being close to it it is very hard to tell where the longest part of the trampoline is. after you put in a few springs lift the netting to make sure your post holes line up correct with the net, don't do all the springs and then realize that the posts don't line up correct. if you get to this point and you notice that the post holes are off, you either have the trampoline centered wrong or the legs have backwards fixtures (as in my case), we had to take apart all of the legs and switch the connections. So if you are lucky to get the thing lined up correct and all springs in great, if not take it apart and start again. next you will put the padding around, the part that annoyed me was that this spring cover also must be threaded through some of the springs so once again you need to remove a few and slide it through the spring cover. Putting up the net polls. Make sure you have the two holes at the top and not at the middle, you will need to put the pole covers on through both holes at the top and now it is finished. in my case 4 attempts later and two days... The directions leave much to be desired but after its said and done I could have done this in one attempt if the directions were more clear, or if the legs were not fastened with the wrong hardware, or if the numbers were all on the legs, some legs were missing the number one and two, but if you look at them they are slightly different shaped. Or best case, just walk away and buy a round one! Good luck!

Overall, this is a good value for the cost. That said: Due to its oval shape, it's complex to install properly on the first try, and the instructions are pretty confusing. The foam padding for the net risers is also very cheap. Finally, there is much less spring then the previous 3 or 4 trampolines I've owned. Guessing this has more to do with the sheer size rather than the quality of materials, but notable nonetheless.
