My son has wanted a trampoline for as long as we can remember (hes 14)...at least 5 years. Anyway, my wife and I have always resisted because we know that they are dangerous with regards to the risks to broken bones, especially when you have more than 1 kid bouncing. (One of the things that we liked about the trampoline parks, pre-Covid, was the fact that each kid has his own square to bounce in, even though their square moves as they bounce). So, we bought our son this trampoline for a Christmas present because trampoline parks still dont feel safe to us with regards to Covid. He loves his new trampoline. What I noticed about this trampoline is that it has significantly better bounce than others in its price range ($300-$400). I estimate that Ive bounced on 30+ trampolines over the past 20 years, mostly in the last 5, with our son. Obviously, you can spend $2500 on a rectangular gymnast trampoline and get even more bounce, but for this price, its the best bounce Ive been on over the past 20 years thats not gymnast grade. My only gripe is that I paid $400 just before Christmas and a month later the price dropped back down to $300, even before I had a chance to set this one up! Still, its worth the $400, just wish that I would have waited a month in order to save $140.
I was originally looking for the best price with a high weight limit, and this is the one. There are 14 trampolines that have limits ranging from 250lbs to 400lbs, but this one is over 700lbs. I am glad to know Ill be able to jump safely with my kids and didnt have to spend like crazy to do it.
The setup was fairly well laid out in the instruction manual, but there were a couple things that werent super clear to me for some reason. Getting assistance to set it up was necessary at least 2 times, but I was able to do everything else solo in about 3 hours total, broken up over a couple days. Because I installed some things incorrectly, there was movement in the net poles and the basketball hoop pole even started bending. I contacted the seller and they shipped a few new parts immediately, which was very kind considering we made a mistake on our end. Great customer service for sure. Also, I recommend not dunking on this hoop at all. It cant handle more than a few pounds of force and I bent ours down immediately as you can see in the picture. It doesnt impact my rating at all because thats not the point of the trampoline and I really shouldnt have pulled a Shaq on it.
One thing to note is when putting on the vertical poles that hold the net up, there are 2 holes to bolt to the frame legs. You can see one hole near the bottom of the pole, but the other one might be hidden under the blue foam sleeve, so make sure to slide that up to check. Another challenge was threading the net through the metal rods that form a ring at the top. Id recommend doing that while sitting on the trampoline, connect the last 2 points of the ring through the basketball hoop support rod, then snap the ring into the plastic tops of the net poles one by one. Overall an awesome product you wont have to worry about once its set up.
Update: Shortly after posting this, bound to see my girl smile, I engaged my engineering brain and developed a workaround to get this thing together without compromising the structural integrity.
To the sellers credit, they emailed last night saying that they were sending 4 T-connects (good call, because 3/8 had warped openings, so had to use the workaround more than once). At this point though, I wont be deconstructing just to swap these in - had I known sooner, I might have waited on the parts.
Initial review: Literally the second t-post I pulled from the box, clearly not square, hence unable to fit outer ring piece into it. Step daughter is heartbroken that she cant use her new trampoline due to faulty hardware. Didnt rate sturdiness because obviously we couldnt even use it.
It arrived as promised in 2 separate boxes due to the weight. The shipping was quick and there was no damage or missing pieces.
As of now the trampoline is working out well. The kids enjoy it. I question the long term integrity with winters in western New York. Of course I can disassemble it to make it last a little longer.
This leads into instructions, they arent great they gloss over a few steps. Its going to take you longer than you expect. You will definitely need 2 people.
Im giving it 4 stars for now and Ill just as time goes on.
I bought this 14ft diameter trampoline for my little. The box was well packaged to avoid damage. It comes with a professional instruction and tools. All fittings were individually packaged and clearly marked.
I recommend this product mainly for the following reasons:
The meets U.S. ASTM safety standards and features a high-density enclosure net for additional support and maximum safety. Also included a thick padding to cover the trampolines springs.
It was simple enough to build providing you follow the clear instructions to the letter and dont try to skip ahead. It took me about 30mins to build the main base ring and feet on my own.It took me 20mins to fit the jumping mat springs (using the hook tool provided) and to tie on the outer edge cushion. Its important to follow the spring position fitting guide to avoid twisting the frame. It took me approx 20mins to assemble the enclosure net.
Final stage, took 5mins to build and attach the non-slip steps. Setup took me over 1hrs by myself for the 14ft. I think its worth it. It was easy to assemble, just time consuming. However, it is very secure when finished.
Overall, Im very pleased with the design and build quality. My sixteen year old nephew has tested it and theyre very secure inside. We decided told recommend to friends, family, and anyone interested !
Im so impressed with this trampoline and company! Great communication and excellent customer service! My son loves the trampoline and cant get enough of it. Its great exercise for kids and adults. Cant recommend highly enough. Thank you!!
What I really liked about this trampoline was that it is different from all of the rest because of the support bars on the bottom frame. I have yet to see any other trampoline with frame support bars.
Another selling point was the basketball hoop. When deciding between a basketball hoop and a trampoline, the trampoline was a no brainer because this one came with the hoop. The only other thing that would have been nice is a ball to go with it. But thats okay. The over all quality of the poles and material is great condition. The one down fall was that we had to drill holes in the poles as they did not have predrilled holes.
Another selling point for us was the gap protection. A lot of trampolines that first came out had the Springs exposed. That was something we were definitely looking for when considering a trampoline. This trampoline has the cushioned cover that his the Springs in the event a child or adult takes a crash landing on Springs. Another thing we liked was the netting. Granted the netting will not stop anyone from plummeting through the dainty wall. But hey, at least it is something. Overall we are very happy with our giant grass killer. 5 stars in all seriousness. Would purchase again. Oh and you can put this giant thing together with only two people! One annoying thing is it came in two separate boxes. We were so excited when it arrived. Unboxed it and was confused when we found it the poles were missing. They did have awesome customer support and were very responsive when I asked where the rest of the parts were. My order showed everything was shipped but obviously it hadnt. They provided me with a tracking number and it took a little over another week before the second box came.

Add quality control to the manufacturing process please...
