Koala

Thanks so much OP for sharing this bargain with us all! We collected ours today and its fab, our 2 year old loves it. Its perfect as we don't have much outside space. Very good value for £25.
Cheers.

you managed it yet or want me to try and tell you?


Got ours today, quite a few left but had reserved mine anyway, got home-no bloody bolts and spanner, grr, rung up, she remembered me and said to go in, sent OH and they'd all gone, so they wanted him to go back tomorrow, he daren't come home empty handed so they had to take the display one down for our bolts, pretty good, dd likes it

Hey there, didnt attempt to put it together yet, if you could try and tell me that would be good. It cant be too confusing to assemble can it!! How annoying about yours not having bolts etc!

I've just ordered a 12ft one. We have a 100ft garden which is terraced. Just been out at midnight to measure up for a 12ft diameter trampoline on our terrace and it fits. My girls have wanted on for ages. Thanks to the OP.

Brill! Have been wanting one for the kids but our garden is a bit small. This is just the right size.£25 is a great price and will give us hours of peace! Just reserved one at Darnley.:j

You better buy two, as they won't last a year... They really are the lowest quality trampoline on the market, the welds will rust where the legs meet the circular frame and will eventually collapse causing a serious injury if not checked to dispose off before it gets too bad. Low grade recycled Chinese steel with lots of impurities means it won't last in UK gardens for long. B&Q keep advertising the recall notices, yet they keep on selling them????

Sorry, just read another post submitted before I had finished writing my post. They are right, looking at thier website I would recommend Supertramp trampolines - Australian trampolines, They are built like a tank will last in the garden for 20+ years, and are 100% safe. Australia mine thier own steel so it is pure. Wherever you buy from find out the country of orgin and steer well clear of Chinese. PS Don't buy a chinese car either - if they exist. They do not have the raw materials to make anything made of steel.

Not meaning to burst anyone's bubble here but I just wanted to point out the fact that these trampolines are cheap and by being cheap they are very low quality. You wouldn't believe how many people we have ringing us asking why their trampoline frames have collapsed or why the pads are worn out after a few months. The trampolines being sold here are designed for single users and are very low weight limits. One thing people don't realise as well is that half the cost of the trampoline is the padding and the padding supplied on these trampolines usually what they call an epe material and is nore than 20m thick, offering poor protection against frame accidents. They have no warranty on the padding as it last a very short time and then you are looking at around £70 for a decent set of pads. My suggestion would be to think seriously about how you are going to use the trampoline and what trampoline is good for your family. These budget trampolines are a very serious safety risk if used by more han one bouncer or an adult that is over the specified weight limit.

We are always happy to answer any questions in this regard, give us a call if anyone is interested in buying a safe, decent trampoline: etoyszone trampolines 01865 392439

The simple thing to do is just to follow the instructions!
They say that the trampoline is suitable only for ages 3-7 and to only have one person on there at a time.
If you don't adhere to those guidelines then don't complain if having 2 x 8 yr olds on it together breaks it!

As for the welding - there isn't any. The entire structure is bolted together instead of having any welding on it.

For our family, 1 x 3 yr old and 1 x 5 yr old, it's fine. I could understand the argument if it was still £50+, but to get them through the "summer", for £25 it IS a bargain, however you look at it.

My only problem is that my son used it this morning and decided to toss a large stone over the top of it - straight onto the bonnet of my car, leaving a nice dent and scratch!!!

Hate these things - just a total eyesore that all your neighbours have to look at all through the year for a couple of hours use a few times a year. If a big trampoline is going to overlook your neighbours maybe give them a bit of thought before buying one.

this is hardly a big trampoline

our next door neighbours have a HUGE one in a tiny garden, it literally fills the garden, and that is an eyesore
