Trampoline

[s1962a]

Any more recent recommendations for a trampoline suitable for teenagers? My daughter is bugging me to get one, and I just know in a couple of years it’ll be unused.

There’s a large oval springfree trampoline on gumtree for free, in bookham Surrey.

It would have been the best part of 1500 so worth the effort if in SE. the springfree frame is really heavy duty and if you can get one free or cheap second hand, worth RE furbishing.

We stayed in a place last spring while our house we being refurbed and it had a very large, oval, springfree tramoline and the kids (that's grandkids) didn't like it as it was really hard work, don't know if that's the "spings" or just the size of it, or a combination of both.

I thought it was just them being quite light so tried it myself and it kind of just soaked up bounces. Didn't have any makers name on it but the metal legs etc were immense, proper heavy duty.

We have a 10 ft (8ft bed) round sprung JumpKing at home and they love that but they're getting a bit big for it now.

We have an 8ft round Springfree and the kids have no issues bouncing on it...

They're very, very good pieces of kit....(though note that I think most injuries from trampolines are kids hitting each other/falling off of them rather than issues with the springs).

A lot of it seems to be the elasticity in the bed. Ours is plenty bouncy, but maybe this reduces with age.
