I purchased the 15 ft trampoline for my teenage grandchildren who are rough on things like this so I made sure I had one that could handle the weight and rambunctiousness of multiple almost fully grown jumpers. After almost a whole year including winter it is still going strong with plenty of bounce and it still brings the grandkids over to visit. The grandkids thought it was pain to have to put the included rain cover on when they finished jumping but I feel it prolongs the life of the mat and pads through very hot sunny summers and snowy cold winters.
It was suggested that two people were needed to assemble the tramp but this old grandpa did it all by myself in about 2 hours. I did tie/wrap around the bottom and top of the foam covers on the poles before inserting them into the sleeves of the safety net enclosure so they wouldnt slip while pushing them in. It made it a lot easier. I cant remember if the instructions tell you to, but I went around the tramp putting in every 5th spring using the included tool, then around 4 more times putting the next one in between until they were all in. It required very little effort to install the springs that way. It comes with a ladder but the teenagers dont need it. While my neighbors tramp went flying in a recent severe windstorm, the anchor stakes held mine in place. I would recommend this tramp.
Sturdy high quality tramp
