We bought several outdoor play items for our backyard to make it more “fun.” Out of all the items, this one has by far gotten the most use and love from our kids (ages 4  8). It’s provided hours of fun….and no arguing…yet! 

It was a pain to assemble at first. We had to take poles down and redo them several times. Once we figured it out, it went smoothly. To be fair, the reason we had issues was from one of the two parties assembling it, refusing to read the directions in full (hint it wasn’t me). It was not due to the lack of instructions nor an issue with the product. 

TIP make sure you AND the other person assembling it with you, for example your husband, read the instructions IN FULL before you begin assembling. There are very important notes that need read before you start—not “as you go”
And yes, you will need at least 2 people for this. 

For reference, my 8 year old is the height, build and weight of a 5th grader, and he fits fine.
