Skywalker vs ACON
How hard the trampoline will be used decides this one. Skywalker is the everyday retail brand built mainly for younger kids, with a standard 3-year frame warranty and 1-year warranty on the mat and springs.
ACON is built for harder, longer use: it publishes no single-user weight limit and recommends about 300 lb, with a 10-year frame warranty, 5-year warranty on the mat and springs, and rectangular models for older kids and tricks. Choose Skywalker for an affordable everyday backyard trampoline.
Choose ACON if you want performance bounce and a much longer warranty, and the higher price is worth it.
