trampoline

[Jacbuc]

we were seriously thinking of getting our son a new trampoline for his birthday - given its going into winter I wondered if they are generally ok outside over the winter or would it be better to wait until the spring? any thoughts welcome thanks

Ours has been outside for the past two years ..... No problems, and still looks fine .... I am not sure it would be that feasible to break them down and pack them away for winter .....

thank you for your reply - thats encouraging - would you recomend a particular make? many thanks

I will have a look at the trampoline, i cant remember off hand - but I am sure it was from Argos.

We have one from Atlantic tramplolines and it's so far been fine outide. We purchased a tent roof which sits on top (also from Atlantic) which has helped loads to keep the material dry, and the leaves and bird poo and general muck off the bouncing material.

We have one of these:

It stays outside in all weathers and still in good nick after 4 years

We have a TP one, very safe as impossible to fall down springs (springs on outside of enclosure)

Other than the fact it went walkies in the wind last night which I'm amazed at given its large size and weight, it's been no trouble at all.

Despite getting stuck in a hedge it's been rescued and found to be intact:)
