Advantages: Excellent bounce

Disadvantages: Takes ages to assemble

I recently purchased on of these trampolines. They are immensely fun and great way to exercise in the garden. Good cardio and great for working the leg muscles. It was quite expensive, at over £150, but I had a bit of spare cash and wanted to treat myself.

Firstly, lwet me talk about the assembly of this trampoline. It is seriously time consuming. It took me and my boyfriend well over an hour to get it done. In fact probably closer to two hours. The instructions that come with it are clear, but its just a very fiddly job to do. In particular we struggled attaching the many springs around the trampoline, the correct way.

Once the base is correctly assembled you don't have to attach the safety netting around it. We don't have any kids and feel we are adult enough to not need it. Then my boyfriend mentioned that some of younger sister's may what to play on it, so we reconsidered and attached the netting.

Once the netting is attached you are rady to go. When getting onto the trampoline you should remove all footware, socks optional. When I started jumping up and down I was amazed at how much height I could get and was quite happy for the side netting to be there. Its really springy and allows me try all of the tricks that I know, such as swivel hips.

You can leave the trampoline outside all year round as it has rust free protection on the frame. However, I would recommend getting some sort of a cover. When it does get wet it can take a while to dry and I would recommend using it when it is not dry, you can easily lose your footing.

There are some safety rules that come with the trampoline. The should only be one user at a time, with a maximum weight of 100kg. Adult supervision recommended at all times when children are on the trampoline. You should allow a safety perimeter of 2.50m.

Finally, and quite significantly, it comes with a 5 year warranty on frame against rust causing failure, or a 12 month warranty on manufacturing defects on all parts.

All in all I am very happy with this purchase. I give it five stars

Assembled size: L4.27 x W4.27 x H2.60m.
