Trampoline - Any recommendations ?

sooty&sweep

Hi

We're thinking about getting a big trampoline for our two children aged 2 & 6.

Any recommendations ?

I've started looking at different retailers but they vary so much in price.

Any advice or comments greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Definately consider the jumppod from jumpking. I bought from ebay and it came with a free trampoline tent which has also been great fun.
This is more expensive than most but it is really well made, has long guarantees and blends in well to the garden as it is green rather than bright blue!
My children 12, 7 and 2 love it, we have had it 6 months and it certainly wasn't a 5 minute wonder as my husband thought it would be.
We have a 10 ft and it has plenty of room, even if 2 are on together, though I should say that you really aren't supposed to have more than 1 person at a time on it.
I would say don't underestimate how big these are in the garden especially if you have the surround net up.
The instructions with the jumppod were great and took my 12 yr old and 1 friend about 2 hours to put up with my supervision.
The only problem I have had is that the foam on the poles holding the surround have been ripped to shreds by my cat sharpening his claws! GRRR!

We have a 14ft Zero Gravity one from eBay. It's very good, and strong. Apparently it has more springs than a normal trampoline.

A lot cheaper on eBay than other places online. http://www.zerogravitytrampolines.co.uk/Items/zg140004?

I've just ordered an 8 foot one with mesh sides, weather cover and ladder for £119 from :

www.mysmartbuy.com

There are other sizes on there if you want a larger one.

We bought one in the summer from Outdoor Toys

We got a Mad Dash trampoline, and its been great, easy to put up. I shopped around and realised that most of the trampolines have suggested weight limits, and we went for the mad dash that can take more weight, we just felt that we might be on the limit with 2 adults or I adult and older child, so went for the one that would take more weight which was mad dash.

thanks for this thread checked out the ones above mad dash looks like a good deal is on sale at the mo, but is it best to have the net on the inside (reducing space) or on the outside of the frame???

Our one's on the inside. I think most of them are.
