Does anyone have a sunken trampoline in their garden and if so please could you give me contact details of who fitted it for you?


There was one in a rented house i stayed in the other week and it was brilliant, would love to check out how much it might cost me


Thanks PRD

I played on one of these a lot when I was a kid (in my friend's garden). I've seen plenty of broken arms, legs! In my opinion, the above ground ones with a safety net are much, much safer because when the child mis-bounces sideways they fall into the next instead of the hard ground around the side of the trampoline. Worth having a second thought about.

Well that IS food for thought! Perhaps these are best for only small trampolines, so kids can't make too high a bounce on them? Plus you could have fitted crash mats around the trampoline over the decking, I suppose. Good point about the importance of netting on large trampolines, EDmummy. Hmmm, on second thought, maybe a nice wood burning hot tube instead of a trampoline?

In ground trampolines are fantastic as the risk of falling is so much less. Of course, the kids could take a fall if there is no net, but the risks are that little bit less, when you're level with the ground.

      Advice please - sold item to a business who's now contesting the sale

      By Naiada · Posted

      Can anyone help / offer advice, please? I just sold a fairly rare and quite valuable vintage knitting machine and accessories to a business as a private sale to a business. It's run a couple who specialise in repairing and reselling secondhand knitting machine parts. I tested the machine and accessory prior to selling and both were working. The business has just texted me with a fairly aggressive message to say 'it can't be working as part of it is missing' and that the pattern reading accessory does not work. I know that both parts were working when I handed them over, so it is just their word against mine. (I haven't replied to ask what part is missing yet) When they arrived to pick up, the owner said he needed to do 'due diligence' ie to open the case of the machine and check it was all there. He did all that and did not mention anything was missing at that point. They paid by bank transfer on pickup. Unfortunately for me, I got them to pay into my business ac (even though I no longer run a business and am retired, I still have the account) and now they say because they paid to a business ac they can dispute the payment. I did get them to sign a delivery note with a list of items that they were buying  but I did not specify 'bought as seen' on the note. How does it work when it's one person's word against another? I originally found the business online and emailed them with the details and photos. They had good reviews for selling items (but no reviews re: buying items) The owner always replied by phone rather than email so although I have notes of our conversations I do not have anything in writing from him. I'm feeling angry at having trusted them and also upset - textile design was my career before I retired and I wish I'd just given the machine to a charity now1 Any helpful advice much appreciated!

      Lads ‘selling cleaning kit on doors’

      By Sue · Posted

      There are several threads on here about door to door sellers with similar false stories, but I don't know what the thread headings were or how to find them. Someone else may have a better memory! No idea who to contact, possibly the police non urgent number, can't remember what it is, sorry.

      My objection is that it is an Americanism. Spoken id prefer Mon to Thurs. In writing Mon - Thurs.

      Lads ‘selling cleaning kit on doors’

      By Jamma · Posted

      Couple of likely lads knocking doors earlier this evening, claiming to be from ‘rehabilitation project’ and trying to sell cleaning kit to raise money to get into a hostel. Not really putting much effort into trying to hide that they casing local houses around the library area.  So be it, be aware. But my question is what to do in such circumstances. Should I contact police - who? how? - or the council or something? Would appreciate advice.
