Does anyone on here have a garden trampoline? Can you tell me what sort, the price, the pro's and cons, please ! I am going to try and get the smallest one I can, but is 5ft too small to play on?

How old is Mr Sheds daughter? We have one like this that my six year old still finds adequate and it fits in the shed when not in use:

Most of the larger ones come with cages now, so health and safety isn't such an issue anymore. If we *had* to get a bigger one, this is fairly cute, I think:

they might not be easy on the eye,but on those(these)wet days when the kiddies have been building up all their energy inside then they're ideal when the rain lets up 4 a while for the kiddies to let off a bit of steam!i'm sure my friend said B&Q have got 1 that folds up so at least you wouldn't need it up all the time;have also heard of ones you can build into the ground?wouldn't have a clue where you'd get & would prob cost a fortune?the fates lead him who will;him who won't they drag.

Can't stand them. I can see why lots of parents get them (aside from peer pressure), they're an "easy" way for parents to give their kids exercise without much involvement from them. Personally I'd rather go for a walk with our kids (as and when we have them), or go for a bike ride etc etc.

design a sunken area for the trampoline that doubles as a fire pit, have it so the top of the trampoline sits flush with the ground when the legs are on the "seat" of the fire pit.
that way you can use the space when its not in use and it wont look so nasty in the garden, I proberbly havnt described it very well, have a look on google images to get ideas.Yo an' Bob

he's after one with a cage ~ so that he doesn't have to supervise the littlun (5) while he watches sport on Sky.

time for me to be the fuddyduddy!we've got 1 with net but still feel they need to be supervised,but i guess 2 a degree that depends on how placid/mad she is?&maybe i'm just overly paranoid?the fates lead him who will;him who won't they drag.

Better idea! The garden isn't much bigger than a trampoline would be. I'm looking at 7ft max, 5ft would be better, because you need 6 foot 'falling space' all around it.Originally posted by HeyWayne View PostAll gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.Comment

My daughter would love a trampolene but our garden is too small plus the fact that she would hang herself on the telephone wire as it comes to the corner of our kitchen roof which is one story high.
If they are not on them all the time then the noise level wouldnt be too bad try and get one that folds away when not in use.Gardening ..... begins with daybreak

we go 4 lots of walks & visits to park as well as lottie,but when theres dinner to cook,laundry to be done etc etc,not easy to drop all 2 go 4 a walk!also think theres as much danger involved with a wobbly kid on a bike as there is on an enclosed trampoline!Originally posted by HeyWayne View Postthe fates lead him who will;him who won't they drag.

hope you like sitting in casualty, they are called safety nets for a reasonOriginally posted by Two_Sheds View Post
it would be interesting to hear your views when you do have kids,Originally posted by HeyWayne View Post attempting to take kids on walks when they don't want to go is a nightmare, stopping every 200 yds, screaming, strops, i'm tired, how much further etc etc. at least with these things they do get some form of exercise that they want to do and usually don't have to be forced onto them.
