    Has anyone bought one of these? I was wondering what the spec was, or even the brand name
    Waddle you do eh?
  • Went in to my Asda today and was charged £145 for the 10ft with enclosure, had to buy them seperatly, trampoline £80.00 enclosure £65.00. Would be interested to hear from anyone who got it for £135 so I can dispute my payment! In reply to above message, once we have made it up I will leave a reply!

    Enclosures are a waste of time. I get bored of continuing to post about this subject every time it comes up. Google it. As many injuries are caused by enclosures as saved by them. Very few injuries are caused by children falling OFF trampolines and, I say yet again, they are NO substitute for supervision, often creating a false sense of security when those children being left to the mercy of the enclosure because of lack of parental supervision should actually be given the benefit of being properly looked after.

    Complete !!!!!!!!, I would never let my kids on it without supervision regardless but there is no way you can leg it around the otherside to catch a kid who loses there balance and stumbles off the side.

    My two year old was saved from falling off within a minute of getting on the first time. I wouldn't have let him anywhere near one without and now feel entirely vindicated.

    If your bored with posting it, don't bother any more. It's exactly the same arguement as seat belts being more dangerous than the windscreen/dashboard...and you can Google that too!

    Also, the enclosure is good for kicking a soft ball against, my two boys have spent all week just kicking the ball about on it.

    If your two year old isn't capable of keeping their balance on a trampoline then they damn well shouldn't be on there in the first place. Don't try and make up for your inadequate supervision purely by putting up a piece of mesh, is what I'm saying.

    It's nothing like the seatbelts argument either. Do try and stick to the point in question. The salient point here is not to go looking for trampoline/enclosure deals when you don't need an enclosure.
