Looking for advice on buying a trampoline - what size do you have -?

[hazelnunhead]

To add to my earlier question, could i ask you what size trampoline you have ... I need to decide betwee a 8 ft or a 10 ft ...... any advice appreciated

I would like to buy a trampoline for my 4 year old daughter. Can anyone recommend a make / outlet where I could go, and what size is suitable. We have the typical smallish type garden ..... I am thinking of getting the one with the net around it.

If anyone has any good avice on trampline buying I would be happy to hear it!

Just bought a 6' trampoline from here:

Rebo trampolines

Assembling it was a bit of a mission, but it seems to be very sturdy so hopefully will last.

The kids (8 and 5) love it, and although its hardly unobtrusive, it doesn't take up too much space.

Thanks for that link Dave

I have now ordered an 8 foot trampoline, but am worried it is not "big enough" - can anyone tell me if they have an 8f fot or 10 ft, and if it is "big" enough!

We've got an 8ft one with a net. Best buy ever. Kids are always on it and it is plenty big enough for both of them to bounce at the same time (ages 9 and 6). Takes up a quarter of the garden but well worth it!

Thanks for that Jo ..... sounds like it might be big enough then!

We brought a 10ft garden because we've got a pretty reasonablely sized garden (for ED). However, when we put it up it totally dominated the garden and we actually thought about getting rid of it. However, we did keep it and although we're pleased we did, I'm sure the 8ft one would have been just as good.

I'd also second with Bellenden Jo says - best buy ever. We were worried that we'd be spending ?150+ on something that would be another fad, but not at all. We've had it for a year and they still want to go on it all the time!

Chippy thanks for that ... i am going to stick with the 8ft one then, we could fit a 10ft one in, but it might as you say dominate, so that is really good advice.
