Choosing the Right Trampoline
What to Consider
Safety
Although fun is the reason you are looking for a trampoline, we know that SAFETY is your #1 priority. Safety features like sturdy enclosures, corrosion-resistant steel frames, gym-quality frame pads, padded poles, and forgiving shock absorption ensure years of family fun. Choosing a trampoline that has been professionally engineered and rigorously tested gives peace of mind knowing your family is having safe fun.
Material Quality
Cheaply-made trampolines can be dangerous. They don't have the safety standard or durability to last with heavy play. Always choose a heavy duty trampoline known for high standards of safety. Superior Play Systems® offers North® Trampolines and Springfree®, known industry-wide as the two most popular brands excelling in safety, quality, and fun.
Space
Think about how much space you have for your outdoor trampoline. A smaller square trampoline has a smaller footprint for limited spaces. A larger round trampoline offers more bounce space if you have the room.
Age and Number of Jumpers
If you have older children or multiple jumpers, consider a larger trampoline that allows enough space for all. Smaller trampolines are better for younger children or single jumpers.

They have equal jumping distances across
the entire surface from middle to edge
and have a single landing ‘sweet spot’ in
the center. Round trampolines are known
to have a lower bounce which makes
them safer for children of all ages.

them the style of choice for families
with siblings. They have a larger surface
area compared to round styles, and
they have more bounce than a round
trampoline too.

and a longer jumping area. They have

you optimal bounce while absorbing

Trampolines FAQs
What Size Trampoline Should I Buy?
The right size depends on your yard space and how many people will use it. With more room to move, both children and adults have the freedom to perform more tricks, jump higher, and play together without limits.
A larger trampoline not only enhances safety but also offers more fun and varied exercise - perfect for the whole family! The bigger the trampoline, the more likely kids will continue to use it when they are older.
What Shape Of Trampoline is Best: Round, Oval or Rectangular?
Originally, all trampolines were only offered in a round option. Over time people have come to love the benefits of oval and rectangle trampolines, both of which have more jumping area, giving a great bounce across the whole jump mat.
Rectangular trampolines can be a great choice for gymnasts and large families, there’s more room to travel across the trampoline for flips and tricks and offering the best shape for performance. Oval trampolines look great in longer, thinner yards while still providing all the space needed for loads of fun!
What is the Best Trampoline for Older Children or Teenagers?
A good quality trampoline should easily allow the weight limit of older kids, teenagers, and parents to enjoy as well.
Be sure to choose a large, high-quality trampoline for older kids and teens, they are likely to be more confident and want to take on more advanced jumps so you would need a premium-build that is robust and unlikely to move when they jump.
How Long Do Trampolines Last?
The lifespan of a trampoline depends on its build quality and materials. Lower-cost trampolines may last between 1 and 5 years, while high-quality trampolines with galvanized steel frames, durable springs and UV-resistant mats can last 10 years or more with proper care.
Regular maintenance, such as checking the springs, frame and padding, and using a weather cover when not in use, can also help extend the life of your trampoline.
Can You Put a Trampoline on Uneven Ground?
For safety and performance, trampolines should always be installed on level ground. Uneven surfaces can cause the frame to sit incorrectly, which may affect stability and create uneven tension on the springs and jump mat.
If your backyard is slightly uneven, the ground can usually be levelled before installation to create a stable base. Installing your trampoline on flat, well-prepared ground will help ensure the best bounce, stability and long-term durability.
How Do You Maintain The Lawn Under The Trampoline?
Trampolines can be easily moved for mowing. If movement is difficult, it’s advisable to use a weed mat and mulch under the trampoline for trampoline maintenance.
Can I Easily Move My Springfree Trampoline?
Yes, one to two adults can easily lift or slide the trampoline for maintenance or relocation in the yard. Always double-check for anchors, or if the trampoline was dug into the ground, before moving
