I had an old trampoline that I was looking to replace as my toddler wants to be on it with their siblings and I needed one with the net surround for extra safety for the little one.
The packaging was a tall narrow box, that I was able to carry to the backyard without any help. Setup was pretty straightforward with the instructions being thorough. I would suggest when you are putting the round frame pieces together that you have a second person to help with this step. It was a little tricky when I started it myself, as I would put one piece in, other places came loose. This is where the 2nd person could help hold in place and definitely made it go together easier. When it comes to placing the net over the upper support poles, the instructions say to stand inside on the trampoline, but Im a heavier set person and I didnt want to risk damage from being over the weight limit. I was able to achieve this part of the setup using a ladder. No big deal.
The support posts that hold the netting up come with what appears to be a pool noodle style cushion piece that helps protect your little ones if they fall into it during use. Im happy to see it have the extra padding as my kids tend to be somewhat more clumsy than average. Additionally, the netting has the option to close with a heavy duty zipper (as shown in yellow in the photo). The clasp is located on both inside and outside so anyone on either side can close if desired. This is another helpful safety feature to keep little ones from falling out during use. Also with the zippered closure is a couple of buckles that appear to keep the netting from stretching and pulling the zipper apart if anyone falls into it.
Another nice feature is the included ladder as my previous trampoline didnt have one. It seems to be sturdy and supportive.
Overall this is a very nice trampoline, and my young children are thrilled to have this fun activity in the backyard now! It seems like daily they are begging to go outside and play on it. Not easy to put together.
Fun outdoor activity
