"good" and "cheap" never really work together in the trampoline world, unless you find a really discounted trampoline, which are typically on Craigslist haha.

the best trampolines are usually the most broken in ones. as in used. used trampolines are also normally cheaper than new ones. where can you find used, cheap trampoline? craigslist. why rule that out?

I've had a decent amount of tramp experience: round, octagon, rectangle, olympic bed and I would say your best bet is to get a big octagonal one and double bounce it. I personally have a rectangular black poly bed that cost over $1000 and has a good bounce but isn't all that good for backyard use unless your the only one on it. If you want to go cheap, than you obviously dont want an olympic bed and the whole in ground, mats around it process.

I have some friends that have a 16' octagon and if you double bounce or jump from a latter/tree, etc. you can get really, really high. I think they are around $600 so definitely reasonable

will not ripping it down make it lose bounce?

well, snow on the black tarp thing (idk what to call it) would stretch it from all of the weight, and the frame would rust over time.

I have a 16 ft octagon tramp its the best mine cost about 1200 but thats because it has a net. I would definitely reccommend purchasing the net to go along with the trampoline unless you are on a really tight budget because I can't tell you how many times that net has saved me from serious injuries. Also, the net makes you have a sense of security to the point where you are not afraid to try new tricks.

It lets the snow build up on the mat and then the springs stretch = garbage

in april i bought a 250$ tramp.
its 12ft round, it gets the job done but its no where close so big enough for dubs.

it also shakes a lot when i bounce on it and ive busted 2 springs already. but it's still sicker than last summer when all i did was jump off my back deck on to grass

so you might not wanna take my path, but if you have no money/space then go for it cause its still worth it

i think i heard that if you take a spring out every 5 springs or so it gets a little bouncier,
i could be wrong though

spend the money for a good one. if you're actually serious about tramping you're gonna drop at least $1000 on something decent. got my tramp for free and got every dub left and right.. then it broke

my trampoline cost $900 and it gets high enough to dub. My friends $750 trampoline can barely get me 3 feet off the ground. Spend the extra money. its worth it
