I bought this trampoline in the spring of last year. All of the pole caps disintegrated after just a few months, with the result that the net is not held in place very well (or not at all). When I tried to get replacement caps from the manufacturer, I was told that these caps have a warranty of three (!!!) months. Afterwards you are on your own. Please buy a different trampoline if you want your fun to last longer than one summer.
