Best Trampolines for...
This is our handy guide to buying a trampoline for you and your home.
Keep your whole family outdoor, active and happy is one of the biggest challenges. So we’ve got the best selection of outdoor toys available for you, alongside our excellent trampolines. We’ve got trampolines to fit a range of budgets, gardens and needs.
Best for Families
When buying a trampoline, most people look for round trampolines, which are great for younger family members or new to trampolining. Round trampolines offer an even distribution of springs which makes them most consistent with bouncing on. Still, you might find that a rectangle, square or oval trampoline makes the most of your space.
Best for Little Gymnasts
As well as being great for filling spaces rectangle, square or oval trampolines are perfect for those with a bit of experience. They’re well suited for gymnasts as they mean you have more space for tricks. We suggest that the user be a bit careful and controlled about their usage. The springs work more independently on these trampolines. They don’t automatically redirect a user back to the middle of the trampoline.
What's the best size trampoline for you?
We offer a variety of trampolines for different size gardens. Choose below which size you think would work best for you.
Which Enclosure?
The pros and cons of net enclosures on the inside and outside of a trampoline.
Enclosure net on the outside
The benefit of this is that the trampoline’s actual bounce/jumping space is larger than an enclosure on the inside.
The negative is that there is a potential that the user can get their foot/leg down the side of the trampoline, but this is very hard to do unless they are jumping on the pad of the trampoline.
Our Telstar Vortex range features the net on the outside of the trampoline.
Enclosure net on the inside:
The benefit is that it might be slightly safer as you cannot bounce on the pad that surrounds the trampoline that covers the springs.
The negative is that the jump space is slightly smaller due to the design as the net comes in on the inside of the pad, so if you have a 10ft trampoline, you only have about an 8ft space.
Our Telstar Orbit and Elite ranges feature the net on the inside of the frame.

Safety, maintenance and assembly
Trampoline safety
Trampolines are super fun, but you need to be careful. An adult should supervise children at all times. Make sure you don’t have more than the recommended users at one time. All of our trampolines are enclosed, which means they are much safer because they prevent anyone from falling off. We also offer spring free trampolines for that extra bit of safety. Don’t forget to abide the weight capacity rules.
Trampoline maintenance
Before use, you should check your trampoline. Be vigilant and look out for holes, sagging mats, or bent/broken parts. If any springs look mishappen, you should purchase replacement parts. Regular maintenance will keep your trampoline in the best condition for as long as possible. With our trampolines, you can also remove the netting and store it out of the wind and rain to help prevent breakages.
Trampoline assembly
Our trampolines come with manuals with easy-to-follow step-by-step guides on how to assemble your trampoline. Most trampolines will take less than two hours for two adults to create. Before assembly, please read the instructions, familiarise yourself with the assembly process, and check that the parts are correct. Ensure your positioning of the trampoline is on an even surface, ideally, with a minimum of two meters of clear space from any structure or obstruction.
How to measure a trampoline
Round trampolines
A round trampoline is measured by its diameter of the metal frame, not the super jumping area.
Our trampolines come in a great range of sizes from 4.5ft up to 14ft, so you are bound to find a round trampoline that will fit your garden.
Square or rectangular trampoline
A rectangular or square trampoline is measured by the size of each side on the metal frame, starting with the smallest length, not the inner jumping area.
Our square trampolines come 12ft and 15ft size check them out here – square trampoline.
Our rectangle trampolines come in a range of sizes from 7ft * 10ft up to 10ft * 15ft – rectangle trampolines.
Oval trampolines
We also offer a great range of oval trampolines starting from 7ft * 10ft up to 10ft * 15ft similar to the rectangular trampolines you measure the shortest length first and then the longer length from one edge of the frame to the other.
