Skywalker Trampolines 15 Foot Jump N Dunk Round Trampoline with Enclosure-Basketball

Outstanding! After 2 weeks of procrastinating opening the 2 boxes, I finally started this morning. I poured a big mug of coffee, put my Alexa outside, cranked Led Zeppelin tunes and went to work. Less than hours later (including multiple breaks), I was done! I worked at a leisurely pace, got a kick out of the humor in the instructions and banged it out!It makes me feel sexy it went so smoothly. I assembled that bad boy in no time flat. It made me feel like a better dad and even a better man. As a single dad, I am pretty sure the divorced moms in the neighborhood saw me assembly it like a pro and probably thought, "What a dad! What a man!" I expect my phone to start ringing off the wall any minute with the single moms inviting themselves over under the premise of having their kids try out the trampoline.Thank you Skywalker! You are the best!

December 4th 2017 - I'm Joey and I run Jumpy Joey Trampolines & More out of the (Rockwall) Dallas - Fort Worth Metroplex. I have been in business since 2011 assembling trampolines.....not wooden forts, basketball goals, bicycles, or anything else.....just Trampolines! A simple web search and you'll find us online. I've handwritten (and published on Amazon) a Trampoline Advice Buyer's Guide for free on my site. I talk about this particular unit on there as well.Skywalker makes a ton of trampolines to fit every budget, shape, and size. This 15' Round trampoline is a very popular size by them, and honestly the one that I believe has the most bounce available by their brand as well. The 12' and 15' round models are identical other than size. The assembly of this unit requirea usually 2 people, although it can be done with 1 person. You'll want to inventory the pieces first before beginning the assembly. Make sure the pole caps are there, as well as all the screws and other hardware you'll need. Often times the shipping on these items are pretty rough, and a lot of times when I arrive to assemble it, they are sometimes missing the smaller pieces. This isn't as common on the round sizes Skywalker makes, but fairly common on the squares and rectangles that they make.Skywalker is a budget brand, so be aware of this before hand. The springs are not large, the frame is not thick, and the padding is fairly thin as well. There are definitely some higher priced units available online that'll outlive these, but you get what you pay for.Once all the pieces are laid out, begin by assembling the feet of the unit. There will be 6 feet on this one in particular. Once all feet are made, lay them out in a circle with the holes for screws facing in side of the frame circle. Alternate between a frame piece that has a brass buckle with a square notch for a pole and then one without. Do these all the way around to make the frame. Once the frame is standing on it's own, go around the inside and screw the frame together. Now double check to ensure that you have every other frame piece with a notch for a tube pole to go vertical to hold the enclosure in place before proceeding. Next you'll grab the jumping mat, which should have the enclosure net already attached to speed things up. Some do, and some do not. Assuming yours came pre-attached, try your best to keep it attached during the next step. Lay out the mat in the center of the frame with the net on top of it. Find the doorway (the zippered area). Line up the middle of the doorway between a frame piece that DOES NOT have a notch for the vertical pole of the enclosure. Once you've attached a spring to hold it in place there, start counting every 12 locations for the next spring (It's vital to use a pattern, or you'll never get the mat attached no matter how strong you are). After going around to every 12 springs, now go every 6 springs, then every 3, then every remaining spring. If you do this properly, then attaching the springs are a snap, and there is a tool sent along with the unit that will help do this as well. If you're missing the tool, then just use another spring to pull the others with (it works the same). Now you should have a frame, springs, and mat assembled. Now you will grab the padding and line it up so that the notches of the padding will allow for the vertical enclosure poles to go through them. This will be self explanatory once you get to this point. Go around and tie the padding down. I don't ever do this too tightly, I just make sure that it's snug and resting in place without looking like it's pulling too much. The last step is assembling the enclosure poles. There will be 6 poles to assemble. There will be a top and bottom of each set of 6. The bottom is the part with the square head, so face that towards the ground. Now find the tube with the angle in it and attach it to the bottom pole. You'll notice the tube with the angle has a spot for the top cap (the hole which goes through the front and back of the tube) and another hole that is made for the screw. Use the screw hole when attaching these. Once you're done assembling the poles, place the foam covering on each one. Go slow doing this, or they're likely to rip on you. Also heads up.....these foam covers will not survive many seasons, so be prepared to purchase more down the road. Lay out your assembled poles for the enclosure on the trampoline in their appropriate spots. Go around to each section on the net and attach the pole cap to the net along with the top of the pole. Do this from the ground, and attach all 6 before attempting to erect any of them. Once they're all done, go around and lift up each pole to erect the enclosure netting. You're not done yet, although you're getting really close. Now at the bottom of each pole where it connected to the frame you should have 6 black plastic caps that need to be hammered into place to secure the pole from below. And then the last step is to climb on top of the outside of the frame (on the padding) and tie off the straps around the pole caps to get the slack out of the netting. These may come undone over time, just simply hop back up and re tie them. Your trampoline is now complete and you're either satisfied with the work, or wishing you would have called an expert to come and save your marriage!

Bought this trampoline. It’s our second. The first, not this brand, lasted five years. We this as a replacement of the previous. After two years of one kid using it daily, the metal frame broke, sheared, causing it to puncture the mat and almost my child’s body. Seriously, the metal frame sheared off causing the trampoline to crumple and the leg puncture the mat as my kid fell next to it. I only discovered the metal breakage today. Accident was about three weeks ago. Super scary. We will see how strong the warranty is. Plus I am very leery of the quality of the metal frame. Usually the mats and springs or other material give out before the frame.

After a terrible storm lifted our old trampoline and wrapped it around a tree, I knew I needed to purchase a new one. This trampoline is amazing, it's very spacious, and the kids love the basketball hoop. The basketball hoop is easy to install, uses Velcro, and your kids will be able to take it apart and put it back together. The trampoline itself has clear instructions for putting together but you will need at least two adults. In my case, it was one adult and two teenaged boys! We had it completely set up within about 3 hours.I highly recommend buying high quality stakes that twist into the ground to ensure that strong winds will not pick it up!If you are researching trampolines because you're wondering if it will be worth the money, if it will be safe for your children, I highly recommend this trampoline. The enclosure is great, and the springs are strong (I've not ever had to replace a Spring yet). None of my children have ever been injured playing on it, and they play on it nearly every day.Parents, you will also find it is an enjoyable experience to use for yourself. Put your ear buds on, and your favorite music, and spend a few minutes jumping to your "jams". It is also a peaceful place to lay down and look at the stars with your kids. It keeps the bugs out in the Summer months and is quite comfortable to lay on and discuss the constellations!

Your browser does not support HTML5 video.  The trampoline is great. Problem is replacement parts are a small fortune.Our trampoline blew over in a wind storm (see attached video). Our climate in Toronto is typically not windy. We had one fluke windstorm and my entire trampoline tipped over. Called Skywalker and they told me the trampoline needs to be secured to the ground and that it says this in the manual. My bad, however they do not include the anchors with the trampoline. Instead they want you to purchase this as a separate item for $37 (see link below). They want $37 for 4 U-shaped NAILS.The cost to replace 2 top frames, 1 leg brace and 1 enclosure pole came out to $120us for parts and $110us for shipping to Canada. Total after exchange rate was $299cdn. I opted to buy a brand new, unopened trampoline (exactly same model) for $300 cash from Kijiji. Now I have all the spare parts I will ever need.Tip: in the winter you can leave the frame assembled and just remove the jumping mat (see attached picture). This should help prolong the life of your trampoline.https://www.amazon.ca/Skywalker-Trampolines-2-Inch-Trampoline-Stakes/dp/B005I62R6G/ref=sr_1_1?s=sports&ie=UTF8&qid=1511137951&sr=1-1&keywords=skywalker+wind

Nice trampoline, awesome value for money. I would buy it again any day.it was easy to put together, certainly a lot easier than our 6 year old 10 ft trampoline that we were replacing. The size was a bit larger than we expected; it is a very tight squeeze in our yard, measure first!its has a nice soft jump feel; nicer than our old 10ft.The kids like the basketball net/hoop, although it tends to get jumbled up with the playing and wind so I have to fix it regularly.The net opening is smaller than I expected, i am a tall person and I do struggle to get out without falling; it is quite a lot taller than our old unit (the kids now need a chair to climb in and out).The way the net connects to the jump pad is good; we also find that after rain we do not have water running onto the jump pad from the spring pads like we had in our old unit.

Best Amazon purchase to date. This trampoline was the hit of the summer for all. We had a tear in our mat at delivery (these things happen) and were very concerned about shipping it back or delays in the fun. The tramp company responded immediately and sent a new, which arrived in days, fanatic customer service. I recommend following the set up directions very carefully. We had small errors in setting up and you cannot have an error or you start again. Each spring and anchor and pole must be placed exactly correct and yes you must attach springs across from each other or it will not work. It’s great quality and we did our homework before purchasing to make sure we chose well. The kids are already asking when it’ll be set up for summer again next year.

We own a fishing/vacation lodge, plus we have 4 boys of our own, so we wanted something sturdy because we knew it would get a lot of use. And we chose right!The trampoline was delivered earlier than anticipated, putting it together didn't take long at all, everything was in the box, it has great bounce-it's totally worth the money. We also bought a ladder and it attached beautifully.The basketball net is a lot of fun, but we haven't figured out a way to keep it from sagging. Anyone have any tricks?We've had it for about 2 weeks, and it's held up great so far. Highly recommend.

Seems like a good quality product and after a month of daily use shows no signs of wear as yet. Glad we went with the 15' instead of 12' as it seems like it's quite easy for the kids to travel from one side to the other in a bounce or two. Arrived in two large and heavy boxes so be prepared to haul those around. Installation took my son and I about two hours and was fairly straight forward.
