It really isnt the best way to spend your time watching your child contantly bounce up and down but it has to be done really I am afraid. It is certainly worth putting up for a number of reasons.

Safety

The fence is somethign that must be on the top of the list when it comes to the trampoline, it takes hours to put up the actual trampoline which is why it is easy to forget about it. A lot of people, okay Dad’s will just settle with the trampoline as it is and say that they will get onto the fencing part of it at a later date. Well this usually never happens which is why you must always put it on there straight away. If this does not happen then the child can easily topple over and potentially kill themselves.

Without the fencing I would certainly be toppling off the thing a lot and I am quite old so imagine how many times smaller kids will fall off?

If you have a net then surely you do not have to stand out there and watch right? Wrong. Kids are always daring and do not realise the risks which is why they will try and do the best tricks even if they do not know how to. This is why you should stand and watch to make sure they do not do anything that could potentially harm them. If they are really going to be interested in learning about all of the tricks then make sure you are taking them somewhere in which they can learn.

It doesn’t matter what kind of 12ft trampoline you have, just make sure the kids are being careful on them.

You could always go after something else like swing sets. Whatever you choose make sure you are out there with the kids. You do not have to be watching them ,have a bit of fun and join in!
