All the kids round my way seem to love trampolines.

Re: Summer is here this weekend ,need some garden toys

Trampolines are great.I picked one up at B&Q,14' for £40...how they make them for this price is beyond me,the metal scrap value must be close to that.

Superb quality too.

TRAMPOLINE = ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN (just my opinion)
Especially TRAMPOLINE + ADULTS + BEER

You can get them with a net around to stop kids falling off and breaking their necks.

Sorry to sound like a party pooper but monitoring a large group on a trampoline is going to be a full time job for the adults - as per bouncy castles (you really don't want this to happen: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/kent/7360948.stm ). Apparently the lad has won his case.

Stick with badminton

Actually a badminton set is a great idea - its cheap and it's great fun for adults and kids, and is pretty safe - no chance (much) of broken windows. Or boules which can be played on any old bit of gravel/lawn etc.

Re: Summer is here this weekend ,need some garden toys

I dread the warm weather, for me it just means that the noisy gits over the back from me will have their windows open and their "music" will be audible for the whole town to hear, which spoils everyone else's enjoyment of the warm weather.
Bah humbug !

Re: Summer is here this weekend ,need some garden toys

I can remember going to an adult party about 5 years ago. (Was 20 at the time)
They had a bouncy castle and the amount of blood soaked noses that came off it was funny. (All accidents of course).
After a few hours later I thought id have a go myself They decided to push me over the back on the bouncy castle and I landed on concrete flat on my back. It winded me
that bad I thought I'd snapped my spine.
Never again

Re: Summer is here this weekend ,need some garden toys

And if you've seen the news today,then you'll stay away from hiring/buying a trampoline or bouncy castle.Home owners sued by parents of boy,who was kicked in the head and left disabled,whilst using one of the above,for £1,000,000.
