would like trampoline for small garden, does anyone have a rectangular one with a safety net?

[snowwonder]

I am prepared for the fact that it will take over my garden, i can live with that, but dont know whether to buy round or rectangular?

Round are just for exercise and jumping.

If your children are interested in trampolining as a sport go for a rectangular one. You can do routines and fancy jumps because the bounce is more regular.

Our garden is tiny. We have a 15 x 9 rectangular with a net. The round ones take up more room.
I don't think many companies do rectangular ones have nets. I'll try and think which one ours is made by.
In the meantime have a look at the z17 on this website

thanks for that,- that would be great if you wouldnt mind finding out which you have- did you have to assemble it?

i would want the net which seem to be hard to get unless you have the round one...

my daughter has been goiong to trampoloine lessons for about 4 years and would dearly love one at home to practise on,

thankyou

It's not the norm for a net on the rectangular trampolines for the reasons already mentioned.
The best thing to do if your worried about her falling off is to sink the trampoline in to the ground. I can highly recommend the Super Tramp trampolines they do three or four different ranges for different budgets. dd has the smallest of the top range and friends also have supertramp trampolines (bigger ones). The feedback from them is not cheap but worth every penny defeninty go for the upper range if you can afford it.

sorry forget to mention
Talking from past experience (did trampolining as a teenager)wouldn't even think round trampoline if she's use to a sport hall trampoline. They have a very soft bounce making it hard to get height to do your moves. Great toy but not so good for the sport of trampolining.

Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier.

Our one is the Airbound Z17 which is the one from the link I posted earlier.

We got ours from \link{ www.trampolinesgb.com\Trampolines gb} who also sell via ebay for up to £100 cheaper than their website prices. The Z17 seems to be the smallest rectangular one I can find that comes with a net and I remember doing a lot of searching when we were looking about 2 years ago.

It comes in about 6 or 7 REALLY HEAVY packages for self assembly. It took 3 adults about an hour at midnight on Christmas Eve to put together. We had to finish the net enclosure the next day (Santa explained in a letter why he ran out of time).

There are smaller rectangular ones on the market but they don't have the net to go with them.

I haven't had experience of the Super Tramp ones (don't have that kind of money!) but the bounce from the home trampolines we have had has been slightly different from that of the club trampolines so it may be worth finding a place where you can try them out first incase your dd is disappointed.

If you do go for an Airbound one I can recommend Trampolines GB as a reliable and friendly company.

try again

thanks for your time in replying,
we have got a place near by where we can go to try them,

really grateful for your advice, think that will suit us just fine,

many thanks

ps:::: great story of you on xmas eve putting it together- might have to enlist the help of my brother and his friends as it sounds like a big job!!!
