New Type of Trampoline Groups

[Kells]

My old trampoline is a good few years old and has rips etc, its design is as below. As you can see, the netting/enclosure is around/flush with the outside area of the base - giving a bigger area inside the trampoline. Yellow arrows show extra space compared to the new one



The one I am thinking of buying is shown below, as you can see, the netting/enclosure is about a foot in from the outside of the base, giving less space when you actually get into the trampoline. (white arrows below)

The old one was an 8ft, due to the new one losing space with the way the netting is done, would I need to get a 10ft to compensate

Garden space is a bit of an issue for me and I would rather get an 8ft but if the 'new' design 8ft is actually smaller when you get inside, it is a bit annoying.

Hope I'm making sense, any comments welcome.

The green strip around the edge of the one in the top picture is where you could break your neck if you landed head first. So maybe the second one is actually a better design?

The second one is a better, safer design.

If a little finger was to get under the green while under pressure you could get a bad pinch, possibly worse, second is far better

Get a spring-free trampoline. Can't recommend them highly enough.

Could you consider sinking it into the ground. No need for netting and it would look far less intrusive in the garden if space is an issue?
