    If you have kids it seems that buying a trampoline is a must have. Some parents buy one for their kids and kids use them for five minutes and lose interest.

    Our daughter loves her trampoline - had it over a year now, and it still gets used regularly. She even takes a book and a pillow out with her sometimes and lies about on it reading as it it were a massive sun lounger.

    We bought a bit 12FT trampoline for our 2 boys (10 & 7) over 2 years ago.

    Yes - its an eyesore in the garden but the kids still bounce on it whenever the weather is dry enough outside.

    I'de highly recommend getting one!

    Oh one thing op- make sure you have some winter plans for it. Mine is too big to get out of the garden without taking it apart and first year I had it we had serious storms and it flew into the fence, I noticed loads over the neighbourhood having done the same thing. Now in winter I run it over on a flat sheet and weight it down.

    Do not get one think of our neighbors, i am forever complaining to the council about my neighbor, the child uses it everyday making noise. I am tempted to disable it in the night so it can no longer be used.

    And here's me thinking I was grumpy.......!!!!

    When ever i see one in someones garden i look on in despair. The are very common and chavy.

    As I said earlier, put kids in front of the computer all day, in a sound proof room. That solve it.
    I really can't believe some mean spirited people out there, children should have fun and make a noise in THEIR OWN GARDEN.

    I guess your are of that age, so why not go live in a retirement complex, away from the human race!

    OP, go for it, me neighbour has one and all of the kids have a really good time, its healthy and they are outdoors in the fresh air, more importantly, we, as parents all know where the kids are..

    common and chavvy??,thats a statement from somebody who is clearly not a parent.
