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. 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 … View moreWe 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. 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.

FREE Fridge Freezer Westinghouse 380 Litres
Model BJ385

I don't know how old is, but I guess several years.

It has issues with the thermostat or something like that, as it froze the vegetables in the fridge part, but for normal things works well. The freezer works as expected. Also, it makes some noises sometimes, but nothing too loud, it is the thing that you can expect from an old fridge.

The containers in the freezer have some cracked parts (see photos).

Only pick up in Karori.

If you need any more details just let me know.
