Whatever you do just make sure and fasten it down GOOD. I mean REAL GOOD! Here is why. We had a local guy that ran a car dealership in the area. He always went home for lunch. One day he didn't return at the normal time. A few hours later someone went to the house to check on him. It was a windy day with gusts off and on. When the person arrived they found the front door open and proceeded in. They found him on the kitchen floor. I will not go into the details however, once everything was investigated they determined the following:
He got out of his vehicle about the same time, a gust of wind lifted the trampoline and the concrete blocks holding it down, over the top of the house. As it came down, one of the concrete blocks fataly hit him in the forehead. He attempted to crawl inside to call for help but never made it. I don't ever want to be one to rain on a post however, just make sure and FASTEN IT DOWN REAL GOOD! I hope your family enjoys the trampoline and please keep it safe.
