Trampoline help!

[kristieuk]

We have promised DD a trampoline for ages, and we are now completely re-doing our garden, so the time has come.

Our garden is substantial but not huge, and we don't want the trampline to take over. I was looking at the 8ft Plum here, seems good value. I obviously want something safe and good quality, but don't want to pay £300 - £500 as some seem to be.

So my questions are - anything good / bad to say, and is 8ft big enough. There is likely only DD going to be using it, maybe me too, but not at the same time.

Thanks!

Well we havent got one personally but ive heard at least a 10ft is good with a safety net.

We have the 12ft one with safety net and to be honest I wouldn't go with anything smaller, my kids do somersaults and need the room to manoeuvre, plus when they have friends over they need the space.
