Check with your homeowners insurance before buying one. Some companies will not write homes with trampolines or will drop your existing coverage if you have one and do not tell them.

Check with Sam's or Costco or one of the larger sporting goods stores like Dick's.

sams has a nice 15ft one with enclosure for around $300 right now. you can see it online on their site. we are debating on buying it since our 14ft one got demolished thanks to hurricane wilma last year..

Someone said walmart had one for 140.00

TRUE TRUE about the insurance. There have been so many accidents with neighborhood children on trampolines that they don't want to cover the claim anymore. I know that Allstate is one of them...The ONLY reason we got away with it is because we live on 5 acres of land and there are no houses on either side of us (on the right side of us 25 acres on the left side of us 18 acres) so children creeping up on our property is not really an issue not to mention my kids are the only ones on the street ...LOL Bunch of old folks on this road..I LOVE IT!!!!


The trampoline enclosure they sell at Walmart is kinda flimsy...We got the Jump King at Sam's and it has held up GREAT!!! It was around 400.00 taxes and all!!

thanks for the info..We live on a rather large piece of property as well and the neighbors around are all older as well..So the kids coming and using it does not bother or worry me...Also my yard is fenced in with the vinyl fencing and it is pretty high so no one would even see that we have one...
Thanks for the info...

We got the JumpKing at Sam's and it is so much nicer than our neighbor's from Walmart. It is larger and the enclosure is so much nicer. Make sure you get the enclosure, I have seen many times the jumper would have fallen off if it didn't "catch" them! Including myself! Aas far as sales go, Sam's I don't think even marked their's down, Walmart, Target and KMart did at the end of the summer. We were happy with the one we had even not on sale, I think for both trampoline and enclosure we paid just under $400.00.

just wanted to second that some homeowner insurances will drop you if you have a trampoline.....mine did!! they sent out a survey asking if we had a pool, dog, trampoline, etc. i couldn't lie so i said yes & we got a letter a few months later saying we had to prove we removed it or they will drop us. they didn't care that we had the safety enclosure & that our entire yard is fenced in with a 5 foot vinyl fence. i was sooooooo mad. if they consider it a danger, than charge me a surcharge....but don't just drop me! we wound up getting insurance through allstate because my kids LOVE their trampoline. we laugh about it now, but it was such a pain to find a new policy. good luck & your kids will love it! (oh , btw we have the jumpking trampoline & enclosure from sams/bjs and it is very sturdy)

Same exact situation here. Neighbor has the Wal-Mart one and we have the one from Sam's. With tax the total was less than $340 including the enclosure.

The one from Wal-Mart is smaller and just not as sturdy as the one from Sam's.
