im after a new 14ft trampoline from home, anyone know a decent one to get ? Preferably with enclosure .

I'm don't want the run of the mill high street store ones, I'd like one that's good quality and actually last a good while.

I've searched online, are there any branded ones that I should be looking at ?

Those in the know, are there a main manufacturer that makes them and sellers rebrand them ?

Thanks.

Lol :)

It's for the kids and the one we had has lasted some years but has finally bit the bullet. (Started to rip away from the springs)

It was cheap one from high street catalogue shop so this time we want to get a decent one.

Form googling seems I am after one with 8.5" springs

Don't let them on a skateboard, climb trees, ride a bike, go on a climbing frame, roller skate, go camping, hiking, swimming, use a pogo stick or do any other fun things either.
 
The best trampolines, as tested by professionals and Which magazine are 14ft 1" which is too big.

Sorry, i would posted a link if suitable.

I don't think you could get all that onto the trampoline.
 
figures from the Royal Society For The Prevention Of Accidents (RoSPA) suggest they account for up to 50 per cent of A&E admissions for injuries in the home sustained by children under 14.

They are a lot more dangerous than you think.
 
We have a TP toys hexagonal one which we bought after friends had one for ages and recommended it. Pretty good - max weight is 135kg so I can bounce on there as well :)

Not entirely sure where I'm going to put it in my new build postage stamp size garden though!

Getting a new trampoline? After your neighbours spent all that time ripping the base away from the springs? Rude.
 
Its amazing what a bit of research can do to one's Trampoline Knowledge :)

I've now decided sites that do not list full specs are not worth bothering with

what's important is (in no order):

1. Warranty - longer the better
2. Top frame and leg Frame Wall thickness - 1.5mm+ seems to be the ones to go for
3. Spring Count - 88 for 14Ft 7" springs or 96 for 8.5" springs
4. Spring Length - 7" or 8.5" with 8.5" being the holy grail
5. Spring padding material and width - 20mm+
6. Frame HOT Galvanised - many are....to pass the CE certifications but needs to be checked and listed
7. Accessories - are ladders, weather cover included?


now ive found a 14Ft one that looks great, spec looks great and ticks all the boxes apart from price.

But i have also found this one from ebay of all places which is within budget, slightly lower spec. im just enquiring about warranty

I went for a 12' Zero mavity Ultima from Amazon. Really impressed with it and much better quality than the TP branded one I had before (which wasn't bad itself).

I had a couple of missing parts (only relating to ladder), called store (Stack 'm High Ltd) and I had it two days later. Really helpful advice when ordering as well.
