    Currently Toys R Us have one for £199.99
    It's galvanised and has an enclosure and cover. Previously advertised at £349.99
    It's not showing on the website, but it is advertised in a brochure from the Toys R Us store. Perhaps it's a special deal for Northern Ireland?

    Make sure you get the enclosure. It should be illegal to sell them without one. You really do need one. It's saved my kids countless times.

    Someone in work also said if a neighbour or a friends child gets hurt they could make a claim against you for not providing sufficient safety measures.
    Plenty of mistakes, but no regrets. :)

    Tell you what, you get the trampoline and I will try to find the large chested Page 3 girl to bounce on it :D:D:D

    It reminds of the 'fly-on-the-wall' episode about the editor of the 'Daily/Sunday Sport'. Apparently some girl with extremely large assets was attempting to fly over to the UK. Everybody else was concerned about getting her across because the airlines were worried about the amount of silicone and some were refusing to allow her to board - the editor however was only interested in finding a tramploine and talking her into getting on it.

    Also try www.lxdirect.com. They do a 12ft one for £129.99, enclosure £79.99. Use code ZG1022 for £10.00 off and free p&p (new customers only). Recently ordered one and it was delivered within 4 days. I assume they deliver to N. Ireland although must admit didn't check this out.

  • B&Q also sell them, and they seem like a good deal, but be aware that there are two boxes, and the price quoted is for each box. Makes it a HUGE price (approx £340). Looks like one has the trampoline, and the other has the enclosure.
    I haven't been asked to tell you that I'm the [highlight]Board Drunk[/highlight] for this board. As the night wears on, my posts will become worse, with simple spelling mistakes, inane ramblings, and a blatant disregard for the truth. I have no authority to do anything, so there's no point asking or telling me. If you see me past midnight, please tell me to get my coat and order me a taxi.

    on a secondary note, does anyone know where I can get springs for a trampoline. The last big over-night storm we had, it blew the whole trampoline right into next doors' back garden. We managed to piece it back together but three springs are still missing!

    Why don't you ask in some of the stores who sell trampolines? Surely they could tell you how to get parts? Is there a manufacturers name on your trampoline? Might be easier to track them down.
