Skywalker Trampolines 12-Feet Round Trampoline and Enclosure with Spring Pad

We purchased this trampoline for our two children. After one month of heavy use, we love it. And yes, that includes my spouse and I. It states that the weight limit is 200 pounds, but I can assure you that it will hold much more than that without any problems. A few days ago we have approximately 300 pounds of people jumping full blast for about 20 minutes. There were no problems what-so-ever and everybody inside had a great time. The blue padding that lies on top of the springs and the thick medal braces that connect the enclosure to the trampoline are of excellent quality and were the reasons why we chose this trampoline versus a different one in this price range. Setting up the trampoline was easy with two people, but it can be done with one person without any problems. It will just take you longer. The only issue we had was we did not line up the entrance zipper with where it was suppose to be lined up. The directions were not clear about this and we did not realize it until the enclosure went up. The enclosure net began pulling and we felt that it would tear if we did not fix it. Fixing it was easy. All we had to do was unhook all of the springs and rotate the trampoline to its correct position. It was not a big deal and it only took us about 15 minutes. Even though the directions could be written better, I don't feel it is worth removing any stars, so I still believe it is a 5 star tampoline. I will update this review if something happens, but so far it is well worth the money.

We bought this for our 10 year old daughter. It was much easier to set up than the reviews indicated as we thought it would be confusing and take much longer than it did. It took about 2 hours for 2 adults (and 1 anxious child) to assemble. Read the instruction manual before you assemble. It made the assembly go smoother. The trampoline and enclosure both seem sturdy and made of good quality. We live in FL and will have the hot sun beating down on it come summer. It is our hope that it will withstand the weather conditions we experience. The trampoline instructions state that there should only be one person on the trampoline at a time and that there is a weight limit of 200 lbs. We purchased the trampoline stakes (sold separately) to give the trampoline added stability and to protect it from high winds. We did not get the trampoline kit which I believe included the stakes and a ladder. I had read previous reviews about the ladder and they didn't seem favorable, so we opted to only purchase the stakes. Our 10 year old had no problem at all getting onto the trampoline without a ladder or a stool as she hops right on up without difficulty. Purchasing the ladder or a stool would have been a waste of money for us.

We had one of these a few years ago and a windstorm took it away so we decided to purchase it again as our kids were fighting over a much smaller 8ft. trampoline. Pros: * Easy enough assembly for one person. I could have easily done this by myself but due to lack of sunlight I did have help. * Very light and easy to move around once assembled and made of high quality materials. This net is probably the easiest I've put on a trampoline to date... normally its a VERY large headache lining up everything. * Once everything is together its very sturdy and we have as many as 5-6 kids jumping on this thing at once with some injuries (Expect this when purchasing. No trampoline is totally safe). Cons: * Had to put some of the braces for the net in the right spots. It seems as though the person who boxed ours up or whatever didn't really care. wasn't really an issue for me as I figured everything out fairly quickly. * This trampoline WILL need stake if you buy it. We purchased them with our last trampoline and this time around we purchased 2 sets just for added protection from the wind. This thing will fly off if you don't anchor it so its highly recommended to anchor it down. Very great product all together and Highly recommended if you can learn to deal with injuries.

I saw a lot of reviews saying the instructions were awful, but I thought they were actually really clear. Maybe the company changed them? Anyway, the trampoline took about an hour and a half to put together, and putting it together was pretty straightforward. My only recommendation is that when it comes time to put on the springs, make sure to read the instructions carefully. There is specific order you have to put the springs on so the mat stretches evenly. Make sure to do this right, and to double check your counting, because taking the springs off is way harder than putting them on! Overall the trampoline is super sturdy and looks well built. I have to admit, we have had way more than the weight limit (by almost double), and it has held up fine. This trampoline is SUPER bouncy compared to others I have been on. Some of them feel really stiff, and you only bounce a couple feet in the air. This trampoline I was able to get 6-7 feet high bounces on it by myself.

Amazon had the best price & free shipping with Prime! Time will tell as to the durability of this trampoline but it seems to be made very well & is very sturdy. My husband had this set up with minimal help from me in a few hours. I will suggest like some other reviewers have - make sure you line the door up correctly the 1st time or you will be taking all the springs off and re-doing it. We lined ours up with the wrong leg and had to undo the springs. The door has to be lined up with a leg that doesn't have a insert for the net pole. The directions are simple but somewhat confusing, the pictures help but aren't the clearest. Over all pretty easy set up, just time consuming. This item comes in two heavy boxes, the boxes were smaller than I figured they would be but everything is there packed tight. As to the size of this - it's perfect size. Not to big not to small. Perfect for about 2-3 kids depending on their size. My daughter is almost 10 and this trampoline is plenty big enough for her and a friend. Will update later as to the quality, only time will tell. ***UPDATE*** 7/2/2013 After a little over 3 months of use the blue pad that goes around the trampoline springs is falling apart. The thread at all of the seams are coming out and the pad in front of the net enclosure is now exposing the springs. This could be very dangerous when getting in/out of the trampoline. I am going to contact the company to see if it is under warranty. The trampoline and enclosure are still perfect. ****UPDATE**** 7/20/2013 I'm a little late updating the follow up to my last update. I contacted the company via email per the instructions on their website. I sent an email stating the problem with the spring pad along with pictures of the damage. I had to send a copy of my receipt of purchase from Amazon as well. I was really afraid I was out of luck since the site states the warranty for things such as the spring pad is only good 90 days after purchase. However I sent the email anyhow just to see what they would say. Within 1 hour of sending my claim they emailed me back to thank me for sending my email and said they would ship me out a new pad and email me with tracking info. I had an email the next morning stating it had been shipped and within a few days it was delivered. I am very happy for the no hassle warranty claim and happy to know I purchased a product from a company that stands behind their products. ****UPDATE**** 5/30/2014 This trampoline is now 14 months old. It has lived outside in the NC sun and the crazy weather we've had over the time we've owned it. I am happy to say that the trampoline is still in excellent condition with only minimal fading on safety net from the sun & the blue pad that goes over the springs is faded some. The trampoline pad where you jump is still like new and only needs to be swept off when leaves get in there. I still believe this was a great buy.

Purchased this as a gift for my 2 kids, 12 and 15. I was afraid they might be too old for it, but they use it all the time. The 12' diameter is bigger than I wanted, but even though it takes up more space I'm glad to have the larger size -- they both fit on it easily (yes, the warnings say only one person at a time, but combined they're well under the weight limit). It took maybe two hours to fully assemble. the instructions were confusing at a couple of key points, but re-reading it 8 or 10 times before putting the springs on we got it right the first time. the supports for the safety net are attached at the square inserts on every other leg, and the straps on the top of the safety net must align with these, and if you get it wrong you won't know until you're almost done with the setup. So where the door opening is placed relative to the legs it crucial. The trampoline looks very sturdy and safe, and I expect years of enjoyment from it. The price was excellent for this good product.

EDIT: 2019 Dang trampoline is still in working shape! The webbed enclosure zipper decided to dry up, but still works 90% of the way. This little trampoline has survived Texas' HOT HOT HOT weather and my little one stills jumps in it every chance she gets! EDIT: 2018 Trampoline still going strong! Good stuff! EDIT: 3 years later and it's still holding up nice. Texas can get hot, and this trampoline has weathered the hot temps nicely. Hours of fun have been had by the kids. The padding was torn up by our dogs, so I'm not sure how long it lasts normally, but the springs, mat and netting have survived. ***** The cushions covering the bars on the netting did dry out and fall off though.**** ----------- Nicely done. Seems very sturdy and easy to put together. Frame is nice steel tubing, I would say 1.75 inches round. Only took me a few hours to put it together by myself. Just have to pay attn to the instructions as they jump around a bit. I believe they printed the same instruction over a couple times on accident, not sure why. But all-in-all, easy to build, and seems like a nice quality trampoline! Heed the warnings, the springs seem good, but not good enough for an adult to jump.

In law school, I learned that trampolines were about one step below fireworks in terms of inherent risk to life and limb (not to mention quantity of lawsuits). Two decades later, I gave in to my own kids who begged me to acquire one of these "deathtraps" for our backyard. Despite my initial concerns, I am pleased to say that this is a great product, my kids love it, and it has demonstrated itself (thus far) to be as safe as can be expected. ASSEMBLY -- Read the manual and you will be fine. While other reviewers have mentioned that you should make sure you line up the door correctly, it is equally important to make sure that the T connectors (connecting the angled tubes for the jump mat) are also placed correctly so that the poles for the safety enclosure line up. I had to take all of the springs off to adjust this. I did this nearly all by myself and it only took 3 hours. SAFETY & FUNCTION -- the trampoline works really well and the kids love it. The safety enclosure is basically tucked into the jump mat so there is no way to get in trouble or get caught on the springs. So far, my kids have had hours of fun. Just make sure that the zipper is zipped up when jumping.
