Free trampoline - last call

Karen from Southgate

We have outgrown our trampoline, and it needs some TLC. If you can come and take it away, it is yours for free. We got it from the Warehouse 2 years ago.

If you can come and take it away, it is yours for free. We got it from the Warehouse 2 years ago. It is in good condition other than the hole as seen in the picture, where it has come away from it's straps - needs a sewer with a strong needle. The netting is all intact, and it is still sturdy. It measures 310cm in diameter, with a little bit more to allow for the uprights which curve outwards.
