Makro Trampolines

Hi there,

Makro have as part of their usual published offers...a 13' round trampoline with cover... for £99 plus vat

I just wondered if it is any good?.... there isn't much info on the website... so I really wondered how many springs it had, what the warranty is like and the maximum permitted weight... if anyone happens to know I'd appreciate their feedback :)

    Thanks Sarah... and my folks get a senior citizen discount too I think.... (my local B&Q's are all Warehouse stores so not sure if they can use their discount there.)

    ToysRus were advertising (this weekend) a 12" trampoline WITH enclosure for £199 this weekend. That is also a good price now LxDirect have sold all theirs! Definately worth the enclosure, but not worth a cover as trampolines are built weatherprrof anyway and the cover only holds the rain!

    Hmm must have been a one off or instore promotion... on the TosRUs website the only one they have with enclosure is £600 :(

  • Toys r us was offering them at £69.99, Argos also have them in, in a range of different sizes. Also LX Direct have them, with weather cover, and you can even use a code or 2.

    I saw at TJ Hughes they were selling an 8 ft trampoline for £74.99 - they say less than half price.

  • re makro trampoline
    i work on the department that sells the trampolines and we sell loads and very quickly
    the offer for £99 + vat is a great price last year they were double that
    they come on the mails regular but at different prices
    the normal stock price is around £149
    the 13 ' comes with a cover but not an enclosure ,this is an extra £129.99 + vat!
    the 8 ' usually is £99 or £129+ vat and has a cover and an enclosure
    the makes we do are body sculpture and airzone
    there are very few returns
    it has a 1 year warrenty with makro, i am not sure if the manufacturer gives any extra but i will check it out and send you a pm
    the recommended weight on the instructions and i will also look at this for you
    hope this helps
