I am terrible at taking care of outdoor furniture, so I can honestly confess I have never disassembled this for the winter nor made any effort to cover it. It has sat there, gathering snow and ice, across three winters now, and it still holds up like its new. I have four kids making use of it on an almost daily basis three seasons out of the year with almost no complaints.
Really, the only issue weve had is that the blue safety padding around the edges does not stay in place. The ties that secure them rotted off very early on, so that is a mild safety concern.
Also, installation was quite a task! Easy to understand, but stretching the trampoline to connect to each of those springs was very very very difficult.
All that being said, I feel we got far more than our moneys worth from this purchase, and I highly recommend it if you are looking for a trampoline that will last for a good long while! Just as pictured very happy with my purchase.
Still going strong after three years
