Skywalker 12 ft Round Trampoline Review
We feel the 12-ft is the ideal size for most backyards and/or novice jumpers.
You’ll want to upgrade to a larger diameter if you fall in love with trampolines, but teens and children will still be able to have plenty of fun on this unit. Thus, we recommend this unit to families with small children.
Frame:
This is a very sturdy and stable trampoline whose drawbacks would only be its size. But if only children will be using it then will serve you just fine. The frame itself is about 4ft from the ground, so getting a 3-step ladder would be advisable.
Springs & pad
96 springs, 6.5-inches long are located outside of the enclosure net. Each spring is made of steel and features a rust-resistant coating. As netting connects to mat jumpers will not be able to land on springs, but this safety feature makes this trampoline a bit small. The good news is that the spring-pull tool comes within the package!
Mat:
The full size of the jumping surface is closer to 10ft, while 12ft is the size of the trampoline as a whole. The overall jumping area is a tad over 88 sq ft. Not to put too fine a point on it, but a 15-ft Skywalker trampoline will have much more jumping area, about 140 sq. ft. of usable bouncing surface – some 75 percent more, but they do cost more.

The instructions could be clearer overall, but the installation is simple enough that it won’t be an insurmountable issue – but get a pair of hands to help you if you want it done quick. Two hours is the norm. The spring pulling tool is included. Installation would be a huge pain without one, as the springs have to be tensioned correctly in order to function.
This is a well-built, capable trampoline with good all-around performance. You won’t regret the purchase and you’ll save yourself a lot of headaches that shoddily manufactured trampolines can give you. It’s a step forwards over the no-name trampolines and we heartily recommend this as a best-buy unit.
