How easy was it to put together?
i was able to do it myself under 3 hours. just read the manual multiple times before u start so u dont make mistakes….since its a small one its easy to DIY
Haha don’t refute it being diy, but damn 3 hours, there is no way I can keep my two occupied for 1 hr let alone 3 😂
@TheFIREnanceGuy: Yeah, with a little pre-viewing, it should only take an hour or two max.
That may be quick enough that you only need one dose of phenergen to complete the job without interruptions…
@TheFIREnanceGuy: My 3 year old knows how to already turn on the lounge projector and ask google to play him Blippi on YouTube 🥲
Ipad is no longer a ‘treat’ haha
@Jimothy Wongingtons: Blippi and the girl spin-off are banned in my house, blocked on Netflix and just totally forbidden.
@Jimothy Wongingtons: Agree, had to wakeup early mrmg to finish the job before my little devil wakes
@hopper: My two wake me up at 5 usually - blackout curtains, aircon on, air purifier on, white noise machine, favourite soft toy - doesn’t matter. 😭
@radissimo: Melatonin helps with getting them to sleep (if they're suffering from sleep onset insomnia), not extend their sleep (though watching Blippi late into the evening is a sure recipe for preventing them from unwinding and settling down). Besides, 5am is morning — get up, lazy!
Just put up ours. Husband and myself with toddler helper did it in an hour, still have to just lace the net to the mat/padding. I’m assuming that will probably take another hour so that’s tomorrows job
How did you go to lace the safety net ?
I built mine yesterday and the safety net seems too small. Is it tight of the springs loops (triangle)? I went for every 5 holes in the safety net
How does it hold up in wet weather? Has rain caused any major issues or rust?
No issue so far.
Bit big pretty sure it will hit my ceiling fan .
Desiccated toddlers.
Like “battered wives”, sounds delicious, but wrong…
That aside, trampolines and monkey bars are the one of the best investments you’ll ever make in giving kids a reason to play outside and get off devices. We’ve moved from a 6ft to 12ft to 16ft tramp, and it still gets daily usage as we approach high school.
Great price OP, and big enough to keep them occupied until 6 or 7 years of age.
Can you get little trampolines like the little inground 4ft versions at playgrounds?
Dig a hole and chuck this in?
dig a hole
“Dale dug a hole. Tell 'em Dale”.
It has been this price for a while.
I got one about 6 weeks ago
Why didn’t you post it?
Didn't want to
Fairies muff.
So it’s not a bargain or what?
How safe is this for kids? Emergency doctors have stated that this is one thing they wouldn't buy for their kids based on what they've encountered
Right up there with peanut butter, fast food and any device powered by button batteries.
In the same way that police don’t want their kids spending time in the company of priests, teachers or sports coaches.
Sometimes a little exposure to life is a critical part of learning boundaries, judgement and resilience.
Any kid that can’t handle a trampoline, is gonna get spat out by the big wide world when they grow up. Unless you’re planning on taking down the net, putting four kids on at once and supplying lashings of dishwashing liquid, it’s plenty safe enough…
Yeah in my day it was natural selection if you hit your head on the metal frame of flew off the side.
Titanium reinforced collar bones…
Say it brother. If God had wanted all the idiots to breed, he never would have invented Darwin…
Castle hill has 14 available
Order it from the service desk and they will ask you to pick up from the loading dock
75kg max the norm? Can see this being an issue for random aunts/ uncles..
Random question: I've got a 10ft one with a ripped enclosure. Where's the best (i.e. cheapest) place to get an enclosure replacement?
EBay, esp if you can find a seller who participates in one of their 15-22% off sales. Mytopia and a couple other regular trampoline sellers often do and I’ve bought replacement nets and pads thru then. Just make sure you get a model with the same size, number of legs and net either inside or outside the springs…
https://www.ebay.com.au/sme/mytopiastore/Extra-10-off-coupon…
Mytopia have a range available and are currently running a (near perpetual) 10% off voucher via discount code "MYTTAKE10"
Wow, they sell just the enclosure for the price of a complete new trampoline! Do they just chuck the trampoline, and send you the enclosure for the price of both??
@wisdomtooth: True, assuming you can buy a 12, 14 or 16 ft trampoline for $60, $62 or $69 respectively.

@UncleRico: Ah, I was looking at the wrong items then. I was seeing items in the hundreds of dollars. Cheers.
@wisdomtooth: No prob.
The sum of the parts is indeed more expensive - esp when compaed to deals like this one - but I couldn't complain about spending $50 or $60 every 3-4 years to replace nets or ever couple of years to replaced pads after their 24/7 UV and rain damage battling the elements. great investment for active kids. Right up their with Growplay or Funky Monky Monkey Bars…
@UncleRico: Yeah, of course; that's expected. Given that I got this trampoline for free on fb mktpl — I guess trampolines fall in the same category as pianos; when people need to get rid of them, they're one inch short of paying to have them taken away — $60 for new nets ain't so bad.
@wisdomtooth: Only $48.60 for the 10ft version at www.ebay.com.au/itm/385235222007
Here's hoping you didn't have to lug it too far and that the kids get some good value out of it.
Can this be placed on concret backyard? What do people use instead? Looking at these small ones since pandamic but was put off because they need to be put on grass land. Thanks!
From memory, they always stipulate placing them on a level grass surface and not on a hard surface such as asphalt or concrete.
I'd suggest this is just to mitigate against the possibility of falling out of the trampoline and onto a hard surface, but in nearly ten years of ownership, I've never had a kid topple out. As long as you've mounted the net and ensure the door access is secured, there's really no way of falling out. At just 8ft, I doubt you'd be able to get enough leverage for a nuclear double bounce to ever get someone over the net barrier - so you're unlikely to ever have an issue if placed on concrete…
Thanks for your input. Really appreaciated!
Anyone find sunshade for this size of trampoline?
Great for smaller backyards… Had this since 1 year.
