Took me and my boyfriend a little over 5 hours to put it all together. The tool they included to help pull the springs into place broke half way through and we ended up using the stakes that go into the ground to keep it from flying instead and they worked much better. It was truly a labor of love for our kids because it was a lot of work but in the end very worth it. The kids, 3 5 and 7, love it and play on it everyday. Now that it’s getting warmer we turn it into a “water park” with the included mister and our water hose. Hours of fun!
