  • For adults I can think of better ways of bouncing.
    Kids will be kids.
    If people still deem they need a trampoline it is their risk.The risks are there and documented.
  • They look good for the first summer and by the end of it will have killed your lawn. After a couple of winters outside you'll have the angle grinder out cutting off the rusted bolts and leaving it out for the tat man.

    My old neighbours however used it nearly every evening in good weather and for a great many years, so horses for courses.

    Move it about so the grass can recover.

    I found the grass under the trampoline did better than the surrounding grass. I think it might have been as it wasn't being walked on. Enough light still gets through and around the mat for the grass to grow.
