Trampoline in garden

Fear not, you'll get your garden back in about 18 years or so!![/QUOTE]

Yes, thanks for the above! Don't worry, I'm getting used to it now. We have all sorts of toys on the patio to the rear of our house and I have to say the trampoline is one of the best things we've ever bought (so far anyway). I have just planted 12 pyracantha's (Orange Glow) along our rear fence. I talk to my little un about them and she's aware of what they can do to you or a ball! She even tells me off when I go near them now. I do think you have to get the balance right. I have plants that I love and that my little un loves (and respects!) too. When her cousins come round I do cringe as they are a bit wild, but after they've gone a quick tidy up is all that it takes. All in all you need a garden to be fit for both kids and adults and I think we've achieved that. Happy days

If you're going to move the trampoline around, don't bring it too close to the house and up against your neighbour's fence. We have a friend whose next door neighbours sited their trampoline next to their 3 foot high dividing fence, and they're sick to death of lack of privacy and jumping kids continually peering in through their patio windows.

Hi yeah, I've noticed that! Ours is about 2 inches longer underneath, which is quality. So far impact on lawn has been minimal so I'm a happy chappy.
