    - I saw an interview with Alan Davies where he was talking about a task that had to be cut. - LMS Sep 8, 07:00 1

Does anyone have/had a trampoline in their backyard/front yard for their kids/themselves? How often was it used? - Krusty Sep 8, 05:09 23
- Ours got a fair amount of use. Nowdays I will go lay on it after I mow the grass and occasionally to look at the sky. -- nm - Spawn Sep 8, 07:30
- I have wondered this too. I would have guessed people hardly use them. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 8, 06:46

    - here it would be destroyed almost immediately I figure after a foot of snow or two on it -- nm - Beaker Sep 8, 06:11
- We have one; lots of the families around here have them. Almost all have nets up...they get variable use - Will Hunting Sep 8, 05:24 3
  - I see them in so many yards in the suburbs. People need to make friends with their neighbors so they can share. Not your neighbors, of course. ;-) -- nm - Krusty Sep 8, 05:30 2
    - Oh, the kids travel. Except to our house. “Why are you here?” -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 8, 05:59 1
      - Ha! -- nm - Krusty Sep 8, 06:50
- We had one. Kids (4-12) used it quite often; then outgrew it. -- nm - VMan Sep 8, 05:15 6
  - If they used it a lot then it was likely worth it. Thanks! Not sure why but it's something I've been curious about for a while now. - Krusty Sep 8, 05:20 5
    - Added bonuses, it gives the dogs a great place to go to the bathroom when we have heavy snow falls. When Lilly gets hot from playing fetch she lays - Spawn Sep 8, 07:36
    - Yeah. It was just a pain for me with lawn cutting and what not. -- nm - VMan Sep 8, 05:24 3
      - word; take 4 of us to lift so I only mow under it 2-3 times a year :) -- nm* - Beaker Sep 8, 05:43 1
        
        Ours is a bit smaller and I can drag it (as I did last night), so no problem, there. But the first two years I *did* make Logan come out and we carried it back-and-forth. -- nm* - Spawn Sep 8, 07:37
      - Ahh, yeah I didn't even think of the difficulty in mowing around and near it. -- nm - Krusty Sep 8, 05:29
- My sister has one for her kids. They use it all the time. - spamlet Sep 8, 05:13 2
  - They really are. And it was a good Christmas gift from the grandparents one year. -- nm - Spawn Sep 8, 07:39
  - Interesting, thanks! Obviously we don't have room for them here but I see them on home shows often and when I'm in the suburbs. - Krusty Sep 8, 05:16
- I only ask because I saw a reddit post asking about leveling a trampoline in a sloped yard and my initial thought was tossing it in the garbage - Krusty Sep 8, 05:12
