Our thinking was: How do we get for our 12 year old daughter off the phone and back into the garden ... For sandpit, swing and paddling she feels now understandably too old. The trampoline was exactly the right decision. With 2,50m it fits well in our pretty little garden and of course you can it (unlike a pool) also move to another location a try. The construction took together with my husband at most 1.5 hours. It is important that the hooks to attach at the onset of the springs for the jumping mat, until the cloth and then on the frame, a little tip, but the saves a lot of work and forces. The trampoline is steadfast, my children grow up as madmen :-) and from time to time I may sometimes. The purchase was worth it !!!
