Toying with the idea of getting one but have small garden. Can anyone tell me honestly is 8 foot adequet. I have seven year old and 12 year old. Will have to get the measure out but feel anything bigger is going to over power us! I been looking at good brands like sky high ect which seem to have more springs than the cheaper brands and also takes a heavier weight. Any advice?

Just make sure you have an enclosure and only allow one on at a time. One of our neighbours has a massive 12ft one in the front garden and it has no safety mats on it and they have had a few accidents

sorry, got it from woolworths so no use to you.
i let 2 kids on mine at a time, definately need the enclosure. i cant believe how many people i know have the enclosure. but dont bother to secure it all the way round at the bottom
saw one in home bargains the other day, or good old ebay
