Its not up yet. DH is being such an utter prat about where it will go in our garden and is suggesting such dangerous ideas, I have warned him that I am just going to get rid of it unless he rethinks.
Problem is that the area is very uneven. His hair-brained idea is that he spreads out and rolls over a load of bark chippings from the stump grinding of a recently cut down tree. He is planning to contain the chippings with a few metal stakes and some old scaffolding planks we have here. I am saying he is just not capable of making a strong, safe platform from this material by himself. Also that within less than a foot of the edge of the trampoline, there will be metal stakes and planks, and you are supposed to have a free fall zone, even if there is a net around the trampoline - not masses of hazards they could impale themselves upon.
DH is a tricky customer when it comes to DIY. He is unaccustomed to it, hates doing it, and even more hates discussing it. So my concerns are being seen as personal criticism and making him even more determined. I have realised I can't stop him doing all this, but I can easily get rid of the trampoline. Drastic, but I am genuinely concerned about safety here.
To put in context, his father has similar schemes and ideas, including last summer when he rigged up some garden stakes with rope around the top of DS's cot to stop him climbing out. Needless to say DS just climbed on them, which was even more unsafe - further to fall, and rickety and wobbly to boot.
ABIU here? I just wish he could listen!!!
