Looking for a good strong 10 foot Trampoline for big kids any ideas


I nearly tripped over one in the entrance to our local ASDA/Walmart the
other day. Did not see the price or size but it was quite big.
Had one of those safety nets too that are apparently quite good a
trapping kids ankles according to the TV the other day.

I got a 15' one from B&Q a few years ago, very substantial bit of kit.
I'd recommend buying a cover for it, pigeons seem strangely driven to
crap on it and the padding around the circumference seems to degrade
over time.
Once it's set up you really won't want to dismantle it again in a
hurry.

I wouldn't bother with the net, and I'd go for the largest size you
can get. Two or three medium-sized kids just about fit on a 15' job.

Regards,
