trampolines... is 8ft round going to be too small in the long run?

[sleepwheniam90]

we have a space in the back of our garden that would fit a 8ft round trampoline nicely, however wondering if its going to be a waste and too small?

have seen this one i like

any thoughts, suggestions? TIA :)

Well my 12 yo still happily bounces on our 8ft one - its only when all his mates pile on that its a problem, but then again they know that they shouldn't all be on there anyway

thats great to hear, thanks for chiming in!

I think an 8 ft one is fine if you have 1 DC on it at a time - if you have more, then they'll have to take turns.

We have a 12ft one in our garden but that was only because DH works on a US airbase and the deal was too good to be believed (and the only other option was a 14ft jobbie, so no thanks!)

Glad to hear that 12yos still like their trampos, mine are 8 and 10 so looks like it was a good investment!

I am going to be the lone voice then. DD has an eight foot one (small garden) and really it is a bit too small for her. She can't do the somersaults she wants to and ends up banging into the poles.
When we move into a bigger house, I am planning to buy her a 10 footer.
