We recently bought this trampoline for my two children.
I am happy to report all of the necessary parts were there. In regard to the instructions, they were lacking quite a bit...
First thing they show is pictures and diagrams of laying out the bars. This was very helpful and I liked being able to see how to set up the build. The next step was the connecting. There was no directions on what to connect in order so realizing that going in a clockwise circle attaching each support arm to the next leg/support was a little trial and error, but we figured it out.
The next step was attaching the jumping pad. This was a bit confusing because the directions talk about numbers and trampoline sizes in an attempt to make it easier to attach the springs? I had no idea what it was trying to convey, so I used my common sense and basically attached springs around the pad one across from another as I went. So I would attach one at 12oclock and another at 6. Then one at 3oclock and another at 9. I did this around the entire pad and had no issues or struggle attaching any springs at all.
The next step was to attach the net arms and screws. This for some reason is on the last two pages of the book and a bit unclear. Once again I figured out what pole went where, but if the two pole types were letter assigned and specified in the directions, it would have been much easier to follow along. Once I figured out how the screws went, it was smooth.
Next step was getting the net up. This was easy enough to understand, but a little difficult to execute. The net sleeves are a bit tight to squeeze over the foam padding. The foam around the poles is also very cheap. While squeezing the net around the pole part of the foam ripped and two others bunched up at the bottom. The directions do not say you need to shimmy the net on the poles 4 inches down and then do the next pole and the next... etc. Feeding the net 4 inches at a time around every pole takes about 40 minutes alone.
Once your net is on, its done. I like the trampoline and the kids have used it every day since buying it.
I wish the directions were more detailed on how to complete the next steps.
All in all it seems like a nice addition to the yard.
Solid buy and easy enough setup for under $400
