Make your trampoline winterproof

Do you have a trampoline in your garden that the kids jump on all year round? Then you know that in autumn and winter, it’s often a bit quieter around the trampoline. Still, it’s important to protect your trampoline from cold, rain, snow, and wind. With the right preparations, you can make your trampoline winter-ready and ensure it looks like new again in spring.

In this blog, you’ll learn everything about protecting your trampoline in winter – whether you leave it outside or prefer to take it down temporarily.

Can a trampoline stay outside in winter?

Yes, a trampoline can safely stay outside in winter! It’s important, though, to protect it from winter conditions like frost, snow, and dirt. The easiest way to do this is with an Etan trampoline cover.

This cover protects your trampoline from:

• Low temperatures and moisture

• UV rays (even in winter!)

• Leaves, bird droppings, and other dirt

With an Etan trampoline cover, your trampoline not only stays clean, but the lifespan of the jumping mat and safety pad is extended. The covers are made from high-quality German PVC or extra-strong agricultural foil and produced in Europe – quality you can trust.

Why a trampoline cover is essential

An Etan trampoline cover is the best way to keep your trampoline in top condition all year round. Thanks to the strong materials and perfect fit, it offers optimal protection against wind and weather.

Did you know that the jumping mat and the edge pad last almost twice as long with a good cover? This saves you money on maintenance and replacement costs. Even if snow falls on the trampoline, there’s no need to worry. Remove heavy snow so the weight doesn’t damage the springs or frame.

Anchoring your trampoline in winter

Besides a cover, it’s smart to anchor your trampoline on legs or inground trampoline with net. Especially in stormy weather, an unanchored trampoline can get damaged or even blow away. For inground trampolines without a safety net and flat-to-the-ground trampolines, this is not needed.

With the Etan trampoline anchoring set, you ensure your trampoline stays firmly on the ground. This prevents damage to the trampoline and your garden. The set is easy to install and fits almost any trampoline brand.

Taking down your trampoline in winter: yes or no?

If you prefer not to leave your trampoline outside during winter, you can take it down temporarily. Follow your trampoline’s manual and reverse the assembly steps. This way, you store it safely and cleanly until spring.

Don’t have an Etan trampoline, but a model from Salta, BERG, Exit Toys, or Pro-Line? No problem! Etan trampoline covers are based on standard sizes and also fit trampolines from other brands.

Conclusion: making your trampoline winter-ready

A trampoline can safely stay outside in winter as long as it’s well protected. Use an Etan trampoline cover to keep it clean, safe, and durable, and anchor it with the Etan anchoring set to prevent damage from wind or storms.

✅ Protect your trampoline from cold, moisture, and dirt
✅ Extend the lifespan of the mat and safety pad
✅ Prevent damage with the Etan anchoring set

This way, you and your kids can enjoy your trampoline worry-free all year round!

Frequently asked questions about this topic

How do I protect my trampoline from snow and ice in winter?

To keep your trampoline safe during winter, it’s important to remove snow and ice from the jumping mat and safety padding regularly. Use a soft broom or brush to sweep the surface so that the springs and frame don’t get damaged. The best way to protect it is with a high-quality Etan trampoline cover – it’s waterproof and keeps moisture and ice out, so your trampoline will look like new in spring.

What materials are best for a winter trampoline cover?

The best winter covers are made of durable PVC or extra-strong agricultural foil. These materials are water- and UV-resistant, so they protect not just from rain and snow but also from winter sunlight that can fade your trampoline. Etan covers are made in Europe from high-quality PVC and are designed for a perfect fit, giving optimal protection and extending your trampoline’s lifespan.

Do I need to anchor my trampoline if it stays outside in winter?

Yes, anchoring is essential for trampolines that stay outside all year. Especially during windy winter storms, an unanchored trampoline can be dangerous and cause damage to your garden or the trampoline itself. The Etan trampoline anchoring kit is easy to install and fits most brands, keeping your trampoline safe and stable.

Can a trampoline from another brand use an Etan cover?

Absolutely! Etan covers are designed using standard dimensions, so they also fit trampolines from brands like Salta, BERG, Exit Toys, or Pro-Line. That way, you get Etan’s quality and protection no matter what brand trampoline you have, and your jumping mat and padding last much longer.

Is it better to take down the trampoline in winter or leave it outside?

It depends on your space and preference. A trampoline can safely stay outside in winter as long as it’s well-protected and anchored. If you want to save space or avoid risks from heavy snow, you can take it down and store it clean, dry, and frost-free. With an Etan cover and anchoring kit, though, your trampoline can stay outside all season safely without losing quality.
