The old-fashioned way is self-explanatory, and there are plenty of major retailers you can go and physically buy a trampoline from. They include Walmart, Canadian Tire, RONA, The Home Depot, Lowes and many, many, others.  

If you want to physically go to a store to buy a trampoline, make sure to search online before going to a specific retail store to make sure they have the trampoline you want in stock.
