We havent had this thing a full month yet, but so far I have raved about it to family and friends. We went with the 16ft, and even though I had seen multiple bad reviews, I decided to try it for myself. Let me tell you, this thing is HUGE! We fit four adults and three toddlers on it (We werent all jumping on it and everyone is small so I doubt we hit the weight limit). It is super easy to put together, and that was one thing I saw everyone complaining about. Between me and my husband, it maybe took us an hour - an hour and a half at the most. The net feels thick and sturdy and the zipper seems like it should hold up well. We went ahead and bought anchors and anchored this thing down from day one. I feel like with the size and the net, it would get swept away very easily, especially during the Oklahoma storm seasons! I would recommend a ladder or a slide right off the bat, and one of those pocket things for shoes and phones :)
Pros:
Trampoline was easy to install, had all tools available and the directions were easy to follow for the most part, few hiccups but we managed.
It is so big that everyone can fit on it and enjoy it!
Mat is very thick, and frame is pretty heavy so I am hopeful that the trampoline should hold up well!
The spring covers seem to be very thick almost like a leather, so I am hopeful that it will hold up and not be weathered easily.
Cons:
Trampoline was hard to flip over with how big and heavy it is. We managed with two people but it is kind of difficult.
The directions had a few hiccups and were unclear a couple of times, but we managed.
The tops of the poles that hold the net up seem like they should be more heavy duty though. They are very cheap plastic and they dont pop into the poles, they fit very loosely in the holes which doesnt seem hopeful. They havent popped out or given us any problem so far but I do have a feeling that they will.
The net clips on with these super cheap clips, and so far we have had to continuously clip the things back in multiple times in certain spots. The clips that have given us the worst problems were already bent up when we first opened the net, so that could be why.
So all in all, trampoline is worth the money, but I would recommend an after market net so that you wont have to replace the net multiple times. I feel like the net would hold up a lot longer if the company put better clips on the bottom of it, better clips for the top straps, and maybe if the plastic caps were a little more fitted to the tops of the poles.
We love it
