Buying A Tramp

Alright so I'm moving into a new house soon and I will finally be able to get a tramp. I have a $500ish budget, and I was wondering what your guys' suggestions were on a good tramp for around that price range. I know this is kind of a repost, but if you could give a few good suggestions, I will be super duper happy and we can let it die

I've looked into those and the cheapest one is around 1500 with shipping and a net. Not quite within my price range..

500 is ample budget.

Go to your local harbour area at sunset and search for a bridge.

There are usually quite a few tramps under every bridge, they are often cheap but old and not functioning properly anymore, so search well for a young model, they are more expensive but will last longer and are usually stronger and much better built.

A tramp is fine with staying outside but do cover him with a tarp, otherwise they get rusty.

homeowners insurance yes, they see it as a risk/liability and depending on your provider if they find out you have one some may force you to take it down.
