Hi All,
I recently won a 14ft trampoline without a net, i've just put it together and am anxious to buy a net for it. I'm having a lot of trouble getting a net that size though, Smyths don't do them and I thought they deffo would.
Would anyone know where I would get the net for the 14ft trampoline?
Thanks
KQ

Does it have the uprights to support a net?

Maybe it is not equipped to take a net and has nowhere to even attach uprights. Have a look at one that has a net and compare it with your one.

i dont want to be a killjoy here but trampolines can be extremely dangerous, even with a net.... them and bouncing castles... there have been so many accidents with broken bones with them..

Ah would ye stop. For gods sake, kids can't climb trees in case they fall, they can't run in school yards in case they fall. Kids have to play, and if they hurt themselves along the way it's all part of growing up. We'll have a nation of namby pamby little shites who don't get their hands dirty in case they catch a germ, who are all pale miseries because they don't go outside, they're stuck on nintendos all day. put helmets on them and strap a couple of pillows to their arses and let them away.

April could have a point, bouncy castles can be dangerous especially when the adults join in. I was in one lately and three children went home crying, all they had to do was pass me and stay standing. It was great fun up to crash landings.
Breaking bones is often part of the learning curve for children and can be the only lesson that will get through. I know I had to break a few bones before I realised I wasn't unbreakable.

just ask any A&E dept and they will tell you that for most broken bones the trampolines and bouncy castles are disasterous.....

My son was nearly killed when he was 16, in a car. No one wants to ban cars.

No one wants to ban contact sports either.

Just to give you the update! i got the net on littlewoods.ie
the kids LOVE it and there is no way they will fall off it with this net it's so tight!
i'm delighted with it as they love being outside now.
