Looking ahead to winter months, trampolining is also an activity that children could continue, whether you have a trampoline set up indoors or under a covered area outside. The latest addition to the Super Tramp range of trampolines is the Bounce Arena, which is designed to make it impossible for any child to fall off the trampoline. The Bounce Arena is made to fit the Super Tramp's Cosmic (3m diameter), Fun (3.6m diameter) and Super Bouncer (4.3m diameter) trampolines, and comes with strong 1.8m high netting and eight padded posts to totally enclose the bouncing area. Entry and exit to the trampoline is through an opening at the base of the netting, which can be securely fastened during use. The Arena is easily fitted by one person, using a 13mm spanner, and is priced from 279.
