B&Q My First Trampoline - £25 WAS £96.50

i've just bought one btw and think it's great for £25, my little girl is nearly three so will be fine for her to use.

will stick it in the shed in winter so it won't rust as quickly

Hi

Can anyone tell me how big these things are when boxed? I've got one reserved and OH is in a bit of a panic about whether it will fit in the car. Surely they can't be that big?

We got the 12 foot trampoline from B&Q last year - I have to say despite what the previous poster said about these being poor I promise you they are not. Our trampoline is strong and sturdy and has easily been good nough for our four children. I am by no means putting down the Australian trampolines but the B&Q ones are super.

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.

I would also add that the couple hours use twice a year comment is hardly applicable - kids love trampolines .... mine are bouncing on theirs every single day, I even have a photo of them playing on it in the snow.

The small one (my first trampoline) isn't particularly big.... Managed to fit it easily in our car with the other shopping. Not heavy either.....

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!

Oh gosh, will try, ok, put the base together first, the circle fits together quite easily, as do the legs that are kind of in a W shape, pretty self explanatory, then the L shaped legs that bolt on have the thick plastic spacer thingy inbetween the W legs with the metal (that looks like half a razor fish) on the outside with the nuts going on the bolts on the inside. You still with me?;)

the tall padded things need to be fixed to the frame, quite easy to work out hopefully, when this is done, open up the actual trampoline and attache so that the netting is hanging down as though nobody can get underneath but don't fasten anything yet, now attatch the bouncy springy things, you do get a tool but we didn't use it as couldn't work out how, the last few are quite hard to do, after all them, slot the remaining tie thingys onto the tall padded things, add the top ones, slot the top ones on so the net reaches to the top and put the last little foam things on the top. Simple!

Sorry I'm rubbish at explaining, have thrown the instructions away so couldn't even speak in technical language:eek: Someone may be able to give you better instructions! Until then, I hope my post is a little bit helpful

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

Nice bit of sneaky self prmotion. There are NO welds on this item and if you look at the myriad of reviews available then they vlearly demonstarte that this is a good product. I have one and it is excellent, would recommend it to all. Nicely sized especially for a small garden and my 3 1/2 year old boy absolutely loves it.
