TJ Hughes 10ft Trampoline with Enclosure, Cover & Ladder

Comments

  • We have just finished assembling ours, apart from the cord that secures the bottom of the enclosure to the mat, as it doesn't seem long enough?

    I tried to loop it through each mat ring, but only got half way round & ran out of cord :o

    Would appreciate anybody elses experience with this

    The bigger the trampoline the better, If you only have 1 child though this is an ideal size :) I have 4 & the 10ft caused problems, we now have a 14ft which takes over the garden but they can go on together without issue (yes yes I know they should go on one at a time but I have enough arguments to contend with without having to stress about who's turn it is aswell).
    Hugs
    We don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.

    The cord is extremely stretchy! Pull hard and it will go all the way round! What I found was once it seemed as though it wouldn't go any further tie the end and go back to where you started, untie that end and pull hard again then it will reach round to where you tied off the second end.

    My trampoline arrived yesterday which was totally unexpected as they emailed me to say it would be another 14 days. Just had a go at putting it together - got as far as the springs but will now have to wait for OH to get home from work as it needs some manly strength. Kids are very excited. Once again thank you OP

    fundeb10, when did you order the trampoline ? in other words how long did it actually take between ordering and being delivered (if less than the advertised 14 days) ?

    Having said that ... looking at my order history; ordered yesterday and it is already showing as SHIPPED and dispatched today :)

    Thanks Nikki

    Figured it out the next day, not the best idea to start building it at 11pm in the dark :D, but so worth it to see my little boys face when he woke up

    If anybody is considering this I can highly recommend it, excellent quality and very sturdy. A real bargain for the price, so pleased with it

    Mine took 5 days from order to delivery. Very pleased with it and it was easy to put together other than the springs - in the end we ignored the instructions and found it so much easier to attach the spring to the mat and pull it towards the frame using the tool provided.
  • Today instore these were priced at £94.97, we couldn't get one in the car without putting the back seats down and had the children in the car so came home to order one online. I cant wait to see my little boys faces when they see it.

    Gotta say, that's pretty good service from TJ Hughes.

    Ordered on Sunday afternoon, delivered by 9AM on Thursday ... assuming that the "we missed you..." leaflet from TNT is for the trampoline [ it says the sender is "Tri-ang ltd" so I am assuming it is.
