Where to buy a good trampoline?

Sorry guys, I tried the searchbar, but it couldn't find what I wanted.

So yeah, I'm interested in buying a trampoline for my big backyard, but I want to make sure I make a good, bang for your buck purchase.

This trampoline will obviously be used to throw down some tramp tricks and such =), so I was wondering: Where is the best place a buy a trampoline?

I want padding and a net with my tramp, but I'm not sure if buying a trampoline on the internet is better, or if I should just buy it locally at some Canadian Tire or big store.

Thanks for your help NS =)

my friend has this one tramp that uses plastic pipes on agnles instead of metal springs.AMAZING height and no rust althought it does take a lot of tramping at first to really break it in. He bought it at costco for pree cheap i think

http://www.springfreetrampoline.com/our-trampolines definitely look into one of these, they are kinda pricey but definitely worth it

oh weird. so rectangle? basically depends on your price range. you can find cheap ones but they are often way pricer than the typical circle tramps. also large rectangle ones tend to not have a net..

I was hoping less than $1000. But I don't really know prices of trampolines.

Also, do springfree trampolines get more bounce height then a traditional trampoline?

Also, I know that when on a traditional trampoline, it's easy to have your friends IN the tramp and ON the springmats watching you, and it doesn't effect the bounce of the trampoline. Is the bounce effected when you have friends on the sides of the SPRINGFREE trampoline watching the person in the middle?

Thanks again!

i got mine at bj's for $400

you can double bounce on it and get well over 10ft in the air, it takes some time to break in though, if you get a bunch of fat people though it breakes in in like 30 minutes of jumping
