Trampolines

The best jumping experience happens when a few things come together: a sturdy frame, long high-quality springs, a breathable jumping mat, and good energy transfer.

Higher-end trampolines, like semi-pro or flat to the ground models, give the smoothest and most controlled jumps thanks to their design and materials. They’re built for heavy use and are clearly a step above beginner models.

Before buying a trampoline, it’s important to consider who will use it, how intensively it will be used, and how long you want it to last. Experience shows that relatively cheap trampolines typically last only 2–3 years due to the materials and build quality, and their safety decreases quickly because of wear, rust, and breakage.

Key things to look for:

• Frame: steel thickness, galvanisation, and construction.
• Springs: length, type (e.g., conical), and rust resistance.
• Jumping mat: airflow, coating thickness, spring-overlays, and stitching quality.
• Safety pad: foam thickness and width, PVC thickness, and how well it closes around the frame.
• Safety: safety net, solid connections, certifications.
• Warranty: good warranties on the frame, springs, and mat indicate higher quality.

We define three types of trampolines: above-ground, inground, and flat.

• Above-ground trampolines are generally considered the safest and offer practical benefits: no digging needed, flexible, easy to move, and a quality safety net can prevent falls.
• Inground trampolines are partially sunk into the ground, look discreet in the garden, and are easily accessible for children.
• Flat trampolines sit flush with the ground and are very aesthetic.

Which type suits your situation best depends on usage, desired location, and preferences for appearance and safety.

Note: an inground or flat trampoline cannot be installed everywhere. When in doubt, consult one of our specialists.

Round, oval, rectangular, and square. Which shape suits you best depends entirely on the user, the desired location, and the space around the trampoline. Not sure? Get in touch with us!

We define 2 types of inground trampolines:

1. Inground trampoline – the legs sit at ground level, with the trampoline sticking out about 20 cm.
   
2. Flat-to-the-ground trampoline – the frame is completely flush with the ground.

The price depends on size, quality, type, and accessories.

• Entry-level: €200–500 – usually above-ground trampolines with basic features.
• Mid-range: €500–1,200 – better frame quality, thicker safety pad, longer springs.
• Premium & semi-professional: €1,200–3,000+ – thick-walled steel, high-quality jumping mats, extra padding, longer warranties.

Higher-end trampolines stand out for thicker steel, better bounce, longer warranties, and much greater durability. For intensive use, investing in a premium model is usually the best choice.

The best brand offers a combination of safety, durable materials, stable construction, and good warranties. Key factors include steel thickness, quality of the safety pad, type of springs, and place of production. Brands that produce in Europe with high-quality materials usually stand out in finish and longevity. The choice ultimately depends on usage intensity and budget.
