B&Q trampoline - any good?
B&Q are doing a 12' trampoline for £65 quid.
The box says: Galvanized steel frame with stainless steel springs Foam safety pads and polypropylene jumping mat Max weight 90kg There are 72 springs which are about 1" diameter by about 9" long. The springs attack to the mat material by metal triangular rings. The perimeter of the mat seems to have about 10 concentric rows of stitching. The padding seems quite thin (maybe 20mm?) but very firm. I've been looking at http://www.trampolinesales.co.uk/buy...line-guide.htm for guidance I think more expensive tramps have thicker springs, so I assume this one won't have as much bounce which I guess will be more noticeable for heavier users. Question is: is it a complete load of tat or a worthwhile starter trampoline (particularly given that something like a Bazoongi 12ft Popular Trampoline is over twice the price)? On particular question I have is about the stainless-steel springs. All other tramps seem to have galvanised steel. Will stainless stay springy? |
