    How many kids would you get on a 8ft , 2 or 3 ?
  • Just some quick advise for anyone looking to buy a trampoline. Look at the safety netting. It should be on the INSIDE of the blue ring to stop kids getting their feet trapped in the the springs. (Underneath the blue matting are some pretty serious metal springs). Also they can seriously hurt themselves by bouncing into the enclosure poles.

    That is usually the 1st sign you are looking at a "toy" trampoline rather than a "sports" one.

    The 2nd is the weight. If you really think that you wont get on after a few drinks, 15st weight limit is fine. If not get a sports one:rotfl:

    HAPPY AND SAFE BOUNCING

    My 5 & 3 year olds go on easy together, plenty of room. If 7+ probably only one safely!

    I grabbed one today from B+Q and they pricematched + 10% with Netto so it cost £72 instead of £120 :)
