As I posted not long ago- I had been saving my cleaning money for a trampoline for the kids. Well- last Thursday the night strong storm picked up (litterealy) the whole trampoline and threw it across our yard where it hit, broke, bounced and rolled across the rest of the yard, across the road and into a barbed wire fence. I was (and still am) so disappointed that I didn't even take a picture to show how far it went. Dan and Brendan were gone so it was just the girls and I at home. Natti and I had been watching out the patio window and saw the WHOLE thing happen. Natti was so upset she cried for her "tram-p-paline" ( as she says it) until 11 that night! Dan thought it might be salvageable but it isn't. There is a nice hole in the trampoline part, the safety net is ripped and all of the legs and poles are bent. We tried to straighten them out but they bend back if you jump on it. The force of the wind and hitting the ground actually sheared off most of the screws that held the trampoline together! How disappointing. Needless to say we are again saving for a new trampoline!
If anyone is looking for a safety net that fits a 12' trampoline let me know. There is a little rip in the net but it would work if you don't have one yet (better than nothing!) It just seems like such a shame to trash the thing.
Let's do our research and stop this!!

That is so sad!! Do you have home owners insurance. If your deductible is low that could be worth it. I would put your safety net on craigslist. You could sell it in the cities and make money on it for sure. I am not sure if they have something like that for your area but even just going on to Craigslist for down here. If you were able to sell it we come up often enough I could bring it back down with me.
