just me
We have a 10' Bounce Pro trampoline with enclosure. We got it in January and my kids dad said "I'm going to really make this net tight so it looks good." Guess what happened? The first time my tiny 4 year old bounced into it it ripped. Not enough to fall through but a head size hole. Another one is starting near one of the other places where it ties to the pole and one of the ties has come away completely. I wanted to order another net and have it put on correctly (some slack) and finally found one. For ONE HUNDRED dollars! What? The entire set of trampoline and enclosure parts was $206 with TAX AND SHIPPING! Do you know where I can get a net cheaper than that? Also, those blue foam noodle things that are covering the poles - how necessary are they? One is ripping and water had stood inside it so now the pole is rusty. If I took them off and cleaned the pole with CLR really good would they rust again in the rain? I can't make the noodle things stay in place so that water won't get in.
Answer
Generally they are very expensive. I've actually never seen an enclosure for less than $200 - unless maybe someone has it on clearance.
Have you tried contacting the manufacturer and asking them about replacement parts? That's usually the best route and it pretty much guarentees you'll get the right enclosure for your specific trampoline.
I know it's alot of money but can you really put a price on your childs safety?

We live on a tight budget. Can anyone who has a big family give me some of your tips about penny-pinching ideas. How can you afford clothing? What is your monthly food bill? Any advice is good advice for me! Thanks so much!
Answer
You can get school clothes for the kids to grow into after the season ends and they go on clearance sale.
Yard sales for summer clothes, play clothes, bicycles and things like that.
I grew up in a family of nine, we ate a lot of beans and beef stew, spaghetti, things we could make large amounts of that were healthy but economical. Chrismas our main gift was a group thing like a trampoline or something all could use then a little personal gift.
We shopped at costco or places we could buy all toiletries and food in bulk so it cost about half of the regular price grocery stores.
We went to day old bread stores for all the cookies and goodies for sack lunches and of course bread. We bought extra for the freezer to stalk up when they had a lot of the things we used.
We clipped coupons and once a month took all our glass cans and plastic to a recycling center and redeemed them for cash.
We did all our wash in cold water unless it was rank and used a clothesline to dry them.
I don't remeber the food budget but it wouldn't be relevent because I am middle aged now.
