14 tramp was a gift... Very easy to assemble, my 10 year olds read and assembled with minor help with the springs and lifting the frame and a minor issue with the final tubes not lining up. Nothing a set of channel locks to twist the tube less then an 1/8, probably due to uneven ground.
There was some small difference between pic in ad or direction vs. actual product: but most of them where upgrades.
1. Ladder, has plastic steps that are angled to have a level flat step that gives more traction, and the bottom legs no longer end at a point but bends around to the next leg. I see both these as an improvements to the tramp.
2. The vertical safty net tubes, used two bolts to attach, and a 3rd bolt (or pin) was just to hold the frame together, they removed the third bolt and now just used two bolts to tie everything together. This is neither an upgrade or downgrade. Just making more cost efficient and faster assembly time. As there are less holes in frame and less bolts that really did not do anything.
3. The picture show wing nuts, they are now using nylock nuts, i see this as a safty upgrade, but takes a little more work to Assemble, as you need a Supply tool to tighten, but they do NOT loosen up over time and the hardware is ss. So better.
4. The padding instruction said to hook outer elastic straps instead they had to be tied.
We did not get a chance to install the net all the way, waiting for a cable line to be moved bext week. But the kids jump for the last two days. This product
Pro:
1. easy assembly that kids could even do with supervision
2. Higher load capacity at 375, as it will be test repeatly as im 66 350lb.
3. Nice ladder.
4. Higher count of springs over other brands.
5. Fast shipping, a week and half.
Cons:
1. Missing hardware 12 plastic clips for base
2. Clearer assembly pics.
3. Cover is so so
Few things that might makenit better but cost more.. yellow cadiume or 304 springs, much better cover with a much better way of securing the cover. Double the number of straps for the padding. Remove u hooks, add 4 or 6 screw hooks and some dyneema lines.. this would secure it durring wind storms.
Eitherway, I am extremely happy with the product. Have not emailed them about missing parts yet, but so far worth the recommendation!
Extremely simple to assemble! Grest buy!
