Great Trampoline But Strength is needed to assemble
Once we got the Trampoline which took a week, we set out to assemble it. I read through the reviews ahead of time and gave myself 2 hours time, but I quickly found that I alone could not do it. The parts are heavy enough that you do need the strength of a grown man to do assemble this. Realistically, you need someone to hold the parts together in order to get the screws in. The last few screws were really tough to get in and so you really do need to loosely screw in nuts and bolts to allow room to adjust until the end.
OK, so after we put in the frame part, the poles were pretty tough to put in. We did follow the instructions but it was to tight that I had to ask my neighbor (a grown man) to help out. So in reality, it took 3 people all with advanced degrees to get it done. I'm glad we didn't incur the expense of paying someone else to assemble it but after 3.5 hours (including a few short breaks) we got it done and are happy with it. I want to honestly meet the guys who were able to do this alone. They truly are supermen.
All in all, we love it and are looking forward to tiring out our 2.5 year old son so we can get some sleep finally.
