Thankful it’s just what I expected!
Ultimately I bought this based off the reviews. I will comment on a couple that made me second guess it.
1.) A few reviews said they cldnt zip the net closed all the way because of the ladder. The ladder isn’t the problem, the ladder just fits over the frame, has nothing to do with the net .... with ours it’s because the net is tightly fit. This is a good thing because one of my concerns with other tramps was the ‘floppy’ net. In my pic you can see that I’m able to get it closed (no kiddos can fall out) however my 7 year old struggles with it because you have to pull the sides together (kinda like a snug jacket or pants). The net is snug and I appreciate it.
2.) A review said they couldn’t get the basketball hoop to line up straight, that it leaned forward, they said they tried everything. I was concerned about that however PawPaw just followed the instructions and it’s perfect. He said to make sure you pay attention to the ‘spacers’ on it.
A couple things I wish were different & advice:
1.) That the zipper lined up in the middle of the two beams, it’s cosmetic, but to me ... it matters.
2.) That the blue spring cover fit better. It’s kind of loose (not much but enough to annoy me). Also when you tie it to the posts it makes the layover part that’s supposed to cover the frame ‘bunch up’ and it doesn’t pull all the way over the frame. The net kind of helps with that though and you’ll have to pull it all the way down once the net is on.
3.) I absolutely advise wind stakes! I don’t understand why they don’t include them with the tramp. Super important! You can find them easily on Amazon. Buy them at the same time! I’ve seen many trampolines in fields after a storm!
4.) Definitely need AT LEAST two people. I would suggest 3-4 to make it go faster.
5.) When you’re at the part to put the black jumping part on with the springs. Do the ‘zero’ part in the instructions but then count holes on the frame. Like, we followed the instructions but were kind of stumped how we could be sure it was even. We counted 10 holes from the zero points and added a spring every 10 holes. Just count, you’ll see.
I hope this review helps :).
P.S. My son picked this one out after he saved up his money. Then I double checked and crossed referenced a lot of tramps! I would suggest this one out of the others I looked at. Good luck :)
