---Why I bought This Trampoline--
I bought this trampoline because my kids had played on other peoples and loved it, I have just moved house with a big garden so had plenty of space for one.
--Where did i buy it from---
I bought my maddash trampoline from outdoortoysdirect.co.uk for £124.99 with free delivery pretty much the best price i found.
--How it arrived--
The trampoline was delivered by outdoortoysdirect's own driver nice and early at 8am, came in two boxs, one for the main trampoline and one for the safty enclosure.
--Whats in the box's--
In the main box you have the main trampoline which contained the frame which is made up from strong galvanised tubeing the matt a box of springs,a spring attachment tool and a padding ring to cover the springs once assembled
The enclosure box contains a net ,poles,padding for the poles and brackets to attach poles to the trampoline.
--Assembly--
Assembly took about 1hr 30min and does need two people, First the main frame needs to be put together the last piece can be tricky and may need some brute force six bolts need to be fixed into the legs.
Once the frame is together the matt and springs need to be put in place, I found it easier to clip springs to the frame first then using the supplied tool attach them to the mat (imagine a clock face attach the 12 , 3,6,9 oclock positions first then one inbetween each of those and so on) it keeps the tension even so less muscle power is used.
finally put on the padding ring which just sits on top and ties to each leg
Enclosure net consists of bracketing the poles to each leg of the trampoline with backets suppilied easy to tighten as they have wing nuts slip on the padding to the six poles and the net has six pieces that slide over the poles...JOB done
--Let The Kids Loose--
Let the kids loose on it they will love it excellent means of exercise adults can use it to as it has a weight limit of 24 stone
--Conclusion--
8ft is a good size strong build easy assembly but does need two people, great for the kids excellent form of excercise adults love it too
can be found at a good price if you shop around.
the only bad point i can find is---- its not much fun when its raining ;-)

Is this a good trampoline?
Review of Mad Dash 8ft Trampoline and Enclosure by
Pickle17
Advantages: fun and provides exercise
Disadvantages: Takes up a lot of garden space
These trampolines are great for the summer especially young children. They have a lot of energy and so spend a lot of time on a trampoline.The safety net is a must as you can bounce pretty high. This trampoline is good for safety. Other games can be played on it making it a safe environment for fun activities. They last a long time and survive getting wet, although should be covered with a mat. All in all I would recommend this as a cheap,safe,fun ... ...It is also good for exercise, in a world where people are getting increasingly bigger, a trampoline is a fun way to incorporate exercise into a childs daily lifestyle without them really realising. It's great for parties and can also be used to camp on or for sunbathing (past experience). ...

Not just a Christmas Present - an investment too!
Review of Mad Dash 8ft Trampoline and Enclosure by
koldie
Advantages: Great children's entertainment - and keeps the family fit!
Disadvantages: N/A
I've taken my children to numerous playcentres and they always take a shine to the trampoline. I decided to get them one for Christmas as a joint main present. They are only two and three but as there's an enclosure I think this is more than suitable for them! Safety wise it's perfect because they simply won't be able to get on it without my presence.
Kids love to run and jump around and burn off all that energy that they get from who-knows-where ... ...buy them activity orientated toys like this. Not only that but the sheer size of this trampoline means they'll get many years out of it yet! Once they're in bed the adults get a go too. Now that's value for money!!
I hunted around for not only a good price deal, but for a decent looking bit of equipment too. Some trampolines have enclosures that go from the inner circle of the padding but I definitely wanted one that goes round the outside so as ...

Advantages: Hours of endless fun and not just for the wee ones

The trampoline was bought for his last birthday (July 2007), he was delighted, all my kids have had hours of fun and the added bonus is that they are out playing and I know they are safe.
We bought the trampoline from Woolworths, it cost around ... ...Whats in the box ?

Quick review of Mad Dash 8ft Trampoline and Enclosure
Review of Mad Dash 8ft Trampoline and Enclosure by
iableb
This trampoline is easily assembled, good quality and superb value for money. Three to thirty three year olds have had lots of fun on this - with a maximum weight limit of 23 stone (although only one person can use it at a time) it is suitable for all ages. The enclosure has a clever velcro and hook system - although this means younger children may find it difficult to operate themselves, it prevents them from opening it and falling of the edge of the trampoline. Minimum recommended age is six but it provides good bounce for a three year old.

Mad Dash 8ft Trampoline
Review of Mad Dash 8ft Trampoline and Enclosure by
gdjones27
Advantages: Good Value, good quality, fairly easy to assemble (apart from top of frame)
Disadvantages: needs at least two people to assemble to of frame
We bought this trampoline as a birthday present for our daughter, and she absolutely loves it.
It was fairly easy to assemble, but definitely needs at least two people to put it together, as the top of the frame took a bit of brute force to get the last connection in place. Even getting all the springs attached was a doddle. Finally attaching the safety enclosure was also easy, in all it probably took us an hour or so to put it all together. The ... ...that were cross-threaded, and had to get replacements.
All of the hard work was worth it to see the look on our daughter's face when she was able to get on it. And those things are priceless. Very good value indeed.
Even though our daughter is only 2 years, I would thoroughly endorse it as a present for any age. ...
