Great, safe trampoline! And it’s green! – We ordered the Large Oval Trampoline in green with a matching step at the end of November last year as a family Christmas present, while it was on sale with free delivery. It was primarily for our 5-year-old child, and for me too! We chose this product based on its excellent review from Choice, and the largest size we could fit in the space. Delivery was fine, with regular tracking updates. We started assembly just before Christmas and managed to keep it as a surprise until the big reveal. Things I noticed during assembly: * There were a few minor holes in the cartons where the frame had pushed through, and this had ground some paint off the edges of a few frame components. Some additional cardboard packing might have avoided this. * The plastic spanners supplied in the box are completely useless. They flex and skip over the nut before the bolt is anywhere near tight. Make sure you have some steel spanners on hand. * The instructions say not to use a power tool. Probably because it would be easy to overtighten and squish the tubes. I used one to help speed up the assembly but with a very low torque setting equivalent to hand tool tightening. * Several of the ball ends on the flex rods had significant flashing from the moulding process which required a bit of trimming with side cutters before sliding the coloured sleeve fully home and putting the rod into the frame. * When they say assembly of the flex rods to the mat takes two people, they really mean two large, strong people. We found it very difficult but came up with our own method where I guided the ball end into the socket from underneath.

We also ordered 2 "Ground Dogs Trampoline Storm Anchor Kits" from Outdoor Camping Disorder, so we had a total of 8 ground screws and brackets to secure it through the synthetic turf and underlying gravel layers into the ground. I used some self-adhesive felt on the inside of the brackets where they would rub against the trampoline frame. Apart from the screws being a left-hand thread, these were great, no concerns about the trampoline base lifting during high wind. Hopefully, the net frame can flex enough to survive.

I wasn't sure about the step, but I'm glad I got it, it's been really useful. We put a rubber mat on the pavers next to the step.

All in all, we are really happy with it and have had great fun on the trampoline so far. Our chid noticed the sign about under 6’s requiring supervision and so she’s scared to go on without us around, but given its safe design I would not be concerned if she did. Normally I end up on there with her, and there’s enough room for us to bounce at each end of the oval. It's great having a well-made, safe product, and in a lovely green colour!
