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

Great trampoline! i'm a single mom in my 40's and i assembled it myself in about 4 hrs. I didn't expect all the pieces to be perfect after shipping, and they weren't. A few bent frame pieces, not bad enough for me to consider returning them though. All the hardware and springs were scattered in the tore up boxes, but surprisingly they were all there. 2 boxes received one day then the other came the next day. Words of advice: assemble trampoline in 2 halves, upside down like instructed, then flip over. Use your own tools, socket, screwdriver. They send you tools but they are not suitable. Directions are fairly clear, but they don't tell you to reverse the t brackets on 2 of the side rails. If you lay it out on the ground you can figure it out though. Mat is not 9x15. Smaller than i expected. Overall though it is bigger than what we had before. The rails are extra heavy duty, very heavy too. Trampoline itself minus the surround is great quality. The surround is cheaply designed, caps and pole coverings are not good quality. Pole coverings were torn during shipping. The surround makes the trampoline look smaller than it is. When you jump the surround bows in slightly. For the money i expected the surround would be better. Overall my 2 boys do backflips and back handsprings, and everything they can think of to do on it, lol! and are very pleased with it o that make me a happy momma!

A number of questions have been asked here.

Q&A

(0) Question: Is their enough length for teenagers (5ft+) to do back handsprings?

(1) Question: Is the jumping surface 15x9 or is the dimentions of the frame?

(2) Question: First of all is it bouncy enough for gymnasts and second how mcuh weight does it hold

(3) Question: Will i need a spring pulling tool to get the springs on easily? does the tramp come with this tool or do i need to purchase separately?

(4) Question: What is the size of the mat?

(5) Question: 15' by what?

(6) Question: Just started using our tramp and am wondering about the lifespan of the jump pad. very bouncy and this middle-aged wife is afraid i'm of falling thru

(7) Question: Does it fold up after taking the enclosures off so that it can be put in the garage for the winter?

(8) Question: Could this work indoors? with winter coming i am thinking we could get better use indoors (have 10' ceiling). not sure 40lb kid would hit the ceiling!

(note) Question: where/how to get Skywalker (manufacturer's brand) accessories & similiar Skywalker's products

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

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.

Some hints for assembly. (still assembling, so will return to adjust review based on the actual product. ). Do not try to assemble this with the tools provided. There is one tool that will make this much easier: a socket wrench with a spark plug attachment. This will give you the depth you need to completely tighten the bolts without switching tools. Also note: the phillips-head screw threads stripped on two or three bolts when i over-tightened them, so be careful of that. Otherwise, happy assembling!

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.

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.

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.

Its been in use for 3 months so now i can give it a full review. First off , one week after i purchased it there was an $80 price drop on it. I called online store and they refunded the difference to my credit card without a hassle so thank you online store. My trampoline arrived sooner than promised so good job by the seller for prompt shipping. Strike one against skywalker for their packaging. It comes in 3 boxes and they are all heavy. Like so many other buyers who wrote reviews, one box arrived damaged and ripped open. I happened to be home when ups delivered it and the driver and i had to pick up a few small parts that were scattered on the floor of the delivery truck. Thankfully nothing was missing. The company really needs to do a better job on their packaging. Using thicker cardboard would be a nice start. Because of the damaged box, the padding that covers the springs had a few small tears in it. I called skywalker customer service. I had to send them photos of the damaged padding and they immediately shipped me new pads so at least i know they have good customer service. And now on to the assembly. The best way to do this is to remove everything from the boxes and put all alike parts in its own area. Put all the straight tubes in one area, the legs in a separate area, and so on. Makes it easier to match parts with pictures in instruction manual. The instruction book isn't the best but if you look at the picture of the finished trampoline you should be able to assemble without too much trouble. You will be assembling the bottom frame/legs first. You will be assembling the frame upside down and you have to flip it over when finished. This is the time where a second pair of hands is helpful. After you flip it right side up you move on to the jumping mat and springs. Just follow the directions regarding spring placement. Go in the order it says otherwise you will be kicking yourself about half way thru. Trust me, learn from my mistakes. The safety net is already attached to the mat which is a plus. Strike 2 against skywalker came when i installed the poles for the safety net. The netting goes to the the top of the poles and there is a cap that goes over the top of the poles to hold it all in place. You have to install screws thru cap and pole but there is only one screw hole in each pole. I had to drill a second hole in each pole in order to install caps correctly. No big deal for me but i'm sure many buyers did not realize this and ended up installing incorrectly, thereby tearing the safety net. It took me about 2 hours to assemble by myself. As far as performance, my 9 year old and her friends are loving it. Excellent bounce, sturdy, looks good too. I can't vouch for weight limits because only the youngsters are using it, although i tested it out after i assembled it and it held my 200 lb body just fine. All in all i am very happy with my purchase. It is a very well made trampoline. I would have given it 5 stars if not for the poor packaging and the fact that i had to drill a few extra holes in the net poles. Hope this review helps in your purchase. Good luck.

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

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.

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.

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.

C. Lawrence, Bracknell Forest says

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.

E. Cassella, St. Helens

My daughter loves the trampoline. It has been very safe for her use. She has learned several new gymnastics flips for to show off to her gymnastics center. Use sandbags so it won't blow away.
