Same fricks who are about to spend some time in the Children’s Hospital ER.

Thoughts and prayers in advance. I had my putting together done in about 30 min. Screw a trampoline though.

They’re pretty safe with the nets and stuff so long as they don’t act like lunatics.

My six year old is a lunatic who acts like he’s on meth and Red Bull. He will never get a trampoline

You’re not a responsible parent unless you put the wheelchair together the same day.

I tried it once and my fingers got all chewed up. Hired a couple of eager workers from south of the border to do it for 20 bucks.

I did put together an NBA Jam arcade cabinet tonight, though. Wasn't as bad as I expected it to be.

They are usually rated for 6 and up.

Maybe give him a couple of years.

Put ours together years ago for a birthday...in the summer.

Folks always said I was intelligent, but I can't recall anybody that ever said I had common sense.

Will never put together or take down a trampoline again. I have moved on from that stage.

When you read that trampoline exclusion in your home insurance make sure you keep the neighbor kids off of it.

If you didn’t buy them initially, get on Amazon and buy those trampoline anchors. I bought 2 sets for our kids’ trampoline last year. That thing doesn’t move in a wind storm.

Did the one for my kids last year. Was done at 1:00am and let’s just say I had a really good buzz going as well once I was done.

I started to do it, but I was short one T-joint for the frame. Box was damaged when it arrived. I should have checked it a month ago.

Wife let me know that I ruined Christmas

I did that 3 times. I didn't realize the damn things came with a tool to help you stretch the springs to insert them into the holes in the frame. Damn that was hard!

I did one about 8 years ago. It wasn’t that hard. Unfortunately after being in south East Louisiana the “safety” screen dry rot along with the safety cover for the springs. In the last year of its life, it was living the free life of a 1970’s trampoline. Then one storm blew through and it ended up 3 or 4 yards over. This was not for Ida or Zeta.

It was a fun beast and was relaxing place just to lay down and look at the sky.
