GRRR Just spent 5 hours building a 12ft trampoline for my cousin.
To start with the fecker came in 2 boxes and they both wouldn't fit in the car so had to go back for the other one.
Then, to attach the legs to the top frame there was a "T" joint thing:
To start with you had to force the leg into the thing which split in the bottom t section to force the leg up the T . Once FORCED in the sides had to be bent round the leg with a crappy pair or metal "pliers" that just slid off the bottom t section which didnt even move it in slightest. Even battering them with a hammer didnt do the trick so had to make trip #3 to B&Q to get hose clips to try and tighten the "T" things. Once i hammered, stood-on and eventually got the hose thing round i got it bent in like the manual said, then i had to do it another 7 times.
On each on the sides in the T there was holes which had to be alligned with the leg to stick a bolt through to tighten it. That took another battering with the hammer to allign them.
Once alligned we realised the bolts included didnt fit ! So had to make trip #4 to B&Q to get bigger bolts.
After that, there were 72 springs that needed to be forced into place then we spent about 30 mins trying to find a way to put the legs so it was flat and ended up having to make trip #5 to get some wood to put under 2 of the legs to make it sit flat !
I have blister on my feckin hands and thats the first and last trampoline i will be making !!!!
