Garden trampolines
Our garden trampolines are perfect for kids, offering endless fun and active play! Great for bouncing excitement, outdoor adventures, and creating amazing memories in the comfort of your garden.
Boost outdoor activity and coordination with our range of high-quality garden trampolines, all designed with safety and durability as top priorities. Featuring robust safety enclosures, padded spring covers, and weather-resistant frames, our trampolines provide a secure environment for children to burn off energy and master their bouncing skills. Whether you are looking for a compact model for a smaller patio or a large family-sized jumper, our play equipment is built to bring the thrill of the park directly to your lawn.
The ideal spot for a trampoline is a flat, level area of the garden that is clear of overhead obstructions like low-hanging branches, power lines, or washing lines. You should ensure there is a "safety perimeter" of at least 2 metres (6.5ft) around the entire unit, away from sheds, fences, greenhouses, walls, or garden furniture. Placing it in a shaded but visible spot allows for safer play during sunny days while keeping children within sight from the house.
For the best stability, a trampoline should sit on a soft, level surface like natural grass. If you are worried about the grass underneath dying, you can use a layer of play-grade bark or rubber mulch, which allows for drainage while providing a tidy finish. Avoid placing a trampoline on hard surfaces like concrete or decking without specialised rubber feet, as the lack of friction can cause the frame to "walk" or shift during use, potentially damaging both the frame and the ground.
If space is at a premium, look for "junior" or oval-shaped trampolines, which often have a narrower footprint than traditional circular models. Positioning the trampoline in a corner (while still maintaining a safe distance from walls or fences) can help maximise the remaining lawn space. You might also consider an "in-ground" kit, which removes the visual bulk of a large safety net and makes the garden feel more open and less cluttered.
To make a trampoline less visually dominant, you can "sink" it by digging a pit and installing an in-ground trampoline kit for a flush finish. If you prefer to keep it above ground, you can disguise it by planting tall, non-thorny shrubs or ornamental grasses around the safety net to soften its silhouette. Choosing a model with a green or black safety pad, rather than bright blue, also helps it blend more naturally into the surrounding greenery of your borders.
Regular maintenance is essential for longevity; check the safety netting for any small tears and ensure the spring padding is correctly positioned and securely tied. Periodically inspect the frame for signs of rust and check that all bolts remain tight. During the winter, we recommend using a weather cover to protect the jump mat from debris and snow, or dismantling the safety net and padding to store them in a dry place like a shed or garage.
The suitable age depends on the size and type of trampoline. Small "starter" trampolines with handrails are often suitable for children as young as 3 years old, provided they are supervised. Larger trampolines with safety enclosures are generally recommended for children aged 6 and up. Always check the maximum weight limit and age guidance on our product pages to ensure the model you choose is safe for your family’s needs.
