Thanks Criminal Smile, you just beat me to it

Thanks to you both. This was the info I was looking for but its out of date now. Will post back with the prices I find in case anyone else is looking in the next few weeks. So far, best price I can find for 13' trampoline with enclosure is £200 plus £12 for a ladder from Smyths Toy Store. Don't know about the quality of this one and would appreciate feedback from anyone who may have bought one already. :j

Have a look at This thread and This thread for previous discussions on trampolines. They might give you some ideas for where you can purchase the enclosures. HTH

Thanks Cazzybabe but all my local stores sold out and they don't deliver to NI. The swings/climbing frames on the website were great bargains. All sold out now of course

Be sure to secure the tampoline to the ground as my sisters took off a one windy day a few months ago. It flew across the road just missing a car and crash into trees. The instructions state in small small print it is you responsability to secure it to the ground. We no have 4 concrete kerbs securing it.

Next door neighbour has the one from Smyths. Kids have been bouncing about on it since March and it seems fine. It gets a fair bit of abuse too - when they're not bouncing on it I've seen up to 8 kids just sitting on it and playing with their cars/dolls etc!
Neighbour reckons its the best toy she's ever bought them.

Managed to get one from Smyths in Ballymena. They seem to sell out as fast as they can get them in. Did a fair bit of phoning round before I bought it and think I got a good deal. 13' trampoline, enclosure with fixing kit and ladder for £212. My child's day nursery has the same one and it takes a lot of abuse so it should suffice for my kids too. A couple of the toyshops I called asked about the best price I had found so far and when I mentioned Smyths, they were rather snooty about the quality. We'll see... :j
