The F.A.Q. for Skywalker Rectangle Trampoline Enclosure, 15-feet (STRC915.2)

The trampoline gets 5 stars, but due to defective and missing parts, i give it a deduction of 1 star. As like another reviewer who was allowed to post pictures on his review, delivery was a mess, arriving with the box that holds that nuts and bolts open, but online store would not let me post pictures of my delivery mess here and rejected my initial review. I had to go to the hardware store to pick up missing washers. As you can see from my pictures, which has nothing to do with delivery, one of the springs was not manufactured correctly -one end turned at 90 degrees (it works but this part is defective). The good: this is an awesome trampoline! this is not your box-store, cheaply made trampoline. It has an extremely solid and sturdy frame, and with two types of springs, this trampoline is super bouncy! it took us about four hours to put together in 90 degree weather, but would have been quicker were the weather cooler. Set-up and instructions were clear. The process was very easy. I used my own ratchet wrench and screwdriver, as it was easier, but tools are included. I like the sturdiness of the net and posts, something my son quickly noticed as compared to our older trampoline. I would purchase this item again, but something has to be done about quality control for defective parts.

A number of questions have been asked here.

Best skywalker rectangle trampoline enclosure, 15-feet (strc915.2) in review

The directions needs better visuals of the parts so they could be identified more easily. Takes several hours to put together. The jumping space is not that much bigger than a round one. Disappointed in that because we thought it would be.

This trampoline is amazing so far (had it for a few weeks). A little tip for everyone is to read the instructions fully before you put it together. There are a few steps that you need to look ahead in order for it to go smoothly. Be careful when tightening the screws on the legs, it's easy to strip the heads. Other than that it's a great product. It should take roughly 4 hours to put together.

F. Kelly, District of Columbia

Very good trampoline. Instructions were a little tricky. The trampoline did come with one spring pull tool, so you may not need to purchase an additional one. Only one problem so far. The vertical metal bars that form the net are covered in a foam padding. The foam padding has melted in a few places due to heat from sunlight bouncing off windows on the house. But the trampoline works very well.

J. Joanna, Connecticut says

Since this thing has gone up in our yard, the kids have been on it non-stop. They literally can't wait to get up in the morning to go jump on it. My youngest has already mastered a flip from obsessively jumping on it. I had originally wanted to buy a round one, but the rectangle one fits better in my yard - and now i am happy that we went with this shape. It has a good bounce, and shockingly - my husband was able to assemble this himself. Keep in mind that he is not handy at all. It did take about 4 hours, but he did it with no problems. I think this is a great way to have your kids burn off all of that extra energy, and a great way to get fit.

This was a great choice for our grandkids! the rectangular shape is especially fun and gives lots of room for jumping, as compared to a round trampoline. And the net being on the inside leaves no access to springs and no crevices for a foot to slip out. Three boxes arrived with only one box partially torn. It took two men about two or three hours to put together, but it wasn't too difficult and all the parts were there. The net zips up with a heavy duty zipper, and my only slight complaint would be the narrowness of the opening.

T. Bullock, North Carolina says

I'll start with all the positives. Price is excellent compared to other rectangular trampolines of similar size. Quality of parts is very good. Sturdy and excellent "bounciness". The design lends itself to being relatively easy to assemble, but this is where i'll transition to the negatives. . As some others have commented, there are sections of the instructions that become confusing, have typos, and some of the illustrations are not as helpful as one would prefer. For example, under step 4, you are given instructions for how to attach a frame tube to a socket, then told to "repeat this step to attach remaining three frame tubes to sockets in the same manner. " if one does this (in 95 degree heat, no less), one will find themselves with two sockets needing to be removed, turned around and reattached because they will be attached to the wrong side of the frame tube (one will also be sweating profusely). I would recommend looking forward into the instructions and laying pieces out where they will be attached before securing bolts. That would have helped me avoid this mistake. . If your curved tubes are like the ones i received, you will also be confused when you get to the step for installing the pole caps on the enclosure. Rather than having two holes in the end of them for the bolt to secure the netting, they only had one hole. I used my drill to create the other hole. I noticed another commenter mention this same issue, so it appears my experience is not an isolated occurrence. . And to echo what several commenters have previously complained about, our delivery was delayed due to the packaging of two of the three boxes coming apart en route. I had set aside an entire saturday and my wife made plans for the kids to be gone, with assurances that it would be assembled when they arrived saturday night. Quite a letdown when we got home on friday evening to only one of the boxes having been delivered. They finally arrived on monday rewrapped with clear tape. We then discovered that one of the frame tubes (essential component) was missing. Contacted the company and while they were very professional and courteous, they were not willing to express ship the part (the excuse was that by express shipping, this causes shipments to get damaged? ) and they also required me to go through a laborious process of getting various serial numbers and model numbers and proof of purchase to email to them. I realize companies have to have some safeguards from people falsely requesting items who may not have purchased them, but i can't imagine that same person would be calling a trampoline company and asking for a random metal tube to be shipped to them. Seems like a policy they should change considering their packaging is clearly an issue and this is not a small price purchase. . The fact that i still gave this trampoline a 4 star rating should tell you how happy we are with the end product. It is really unfortunate that a company with such a good product appears to have ongoing issues in the same areas from purchasers. Clean up the instructions, secure better packaging, and don't make an already frustrated customer who didn't receive all the parts even more frustrated by requiring them to exert more effort due to the company's issue. . If you want to get a really good trampoline at a really great price, this one is for you. Just know that the great price you are getting may also result in delays or extra effort on your part to get it fully assembled.

Kids love it! so do the neighborhood kids. I know it breaks the rules but i would say below 6 years around 4 kids can play in it safely. We have had up to 6. Hubby bouces on it he's around 200lbs. Took us hours to put together but we did it at night so it was a surprise for the kids in the morning.

M. Erin, North Somerset says

Very heavy duty. Great size. Pretty easy to assemble. Definitely recommend over the round one we previous had.

G. Anonymous, Berlin

This is a very well made trampoline. The size and shape are perfect for my daughter to practice gymnastics skills. She has enough room to do a round-off, back handspring, tuck combo. Highly recommend.

S. Anonymous, North East Lincolnshire says

Was a little nervous about purchasing something so big and expensive but all my worries were gone once it arrived and opened the box. This product is by far superior to any store purchased trampoline. Huge thick legs and heavy duty springs, the welds are perfect on all the pieces. I had to trouble reading the directions and putting it together. I did have to enlist the help of my wife in order to get it put together more quickly for our daughters surprise. . It's been almost two years sine the purchase of this trampoline and it's held up beautifully especially in the hot outside elements. Haven't had to replace anything yet but the company had been around a long time and offers full replacement parts for the whole thing. Has definitely helped our daughter reach her full potential with gymnastics and cheer. And is a hit with all the little kids during a family get together or party.

All 3 boxes on a pallet, in perfect condition. The trampoline was very easy to put together if you organize the hardware into containers and layout the frame before hand. (the corners with 4 holes for the springs go to the short side. ) the girls love the bounce and we love that it's safe

Z. Anderson, Swindon says

This has been a great tramp for the money. My son uses it to train for snowboard freestyle tricks. Its not quite as nice as the flybeds at his indoor training center but it was not $4000. 00 either. The bounce is a lot more true and will set you where you want to go instead of always trying to send you back to the middle. The frame and tarp appear like they are going to hold up to his 2-3 hours of training /bouncing a day. I did use my own tools which made the set up go a lot smoother.

O. Isabel, Nordrhein-Westfalen

My children and my husband are very happy with the trampoline! all have been jumping! my daughter, who is a gymnast said that it is the best trampoline she has jumped on (other than the gymnastics one). Much jumpier than other back yard trampolines. My only complaint is the same as so many others that i have read - the delivery packaging was very damaged. All boxes were damaged and small parts were loose inside damaged box. This is something that the shipper needs to deal with.
