How to Choose a Trampoline

Look for a smaller diameter, a safety net, and adequate spring covers.

• Recommendation: Trampoline with a 183 cm safety net (183 cm diameter, 80 kg weight capacity).

The most common choice—it’s already more comfortable to jump on, but it’s not a giant model yet.

• Recommendation: 305 cm trampoline, 3 W-legs, set with safety net (305 cm, 120 kg weight capacity, 60 springs).

A larger diameter = more comfort and safer landings (more room for error).

• Recommendation: 429 cm trampoline with safety net (429 cm, weight capacity 150 kg, 88 springs).
• Alternative (often “just right”): 366 cm trampoline with safety net (366 cm, weight capacity 150 kg, 72 springs).

The main considerations here are stability, weight capacity, and a reasonable diameter for an apartment or house.

• Recommendation: 114 cm Trampoline (indoor and outdoor) (114 cm, weight capacity 110 kg, 36 springs).
• Larger option: 122 cm trampoline (indoor and outdoor) (122 cm, weight capacity 110 kg, 38 springs).

Diameter + how much space around it

Be sure to account not only for the trampoline’s diameter, but also for the “safety zone” around it. A practical minimum is often cited as about 1 m of free space around the trampoline.
Example: for a diameter of 305 cm, this means having an area of over 5 m (305 cm + 2 × 1 m).

Weight Capacity

Allow for a margin of safety when considering the weight capacity. It’s not just about weight—jumping creates higher peak loads. (And for children, the rule is: “one jumps, the other waits.”)

Springs (number and quality)

Generally: more springs + a sturdy construction = a more comfortable bounce and more stable performance. As an example, for ACRA sets:

• 183 cm: 36 springs
• 305 cm: 60 springs
• 429 cm: 88 springs

Construction and Legs (Stability)

For larger diameters, look for more “W-legs” (double legs)—this typically increases stability (e.g., the 429 cm model has 4 double W-legs).

Safety Net and Spring Cover (Safety)

It is essential that the safety net prevents contact with the springs and the frame. A common practical recommendation: a net designed to “overlap” the spring area is usually safer than a net that extends only behind the springs.
The spring cover should be sufficiently wide and padded (e.g., the replacement cover for the 429 cm model specifies a thickness of 2.5 cm and a width of approximately 31–32 cm).

Anchoring (Wind Protection and Peace of Mind)

In the garden, anchoring makes a lot of sense—it protects the trampoline from the wind and also makes it easier to handle.

Recommendation: Anchors for 183–429 cm
(package includes 3 straps + 3 screw-in hooks; 2 sets are recommended for 366+ cm).

"I want a compact trampoline for kids"

• Trampoline with safety net, 183 cm – diameter 183 cm, weight capacity 80 kg, 36 springs.

“I want a smaller family trampoline”

• 244 cm Trampoline with Safety Net – 244 cm diameter, 110 kg weight capacity, 48 springs.

“I want the most versatile size”

• 305 cm Trampoline (CAA18/1) – diameter 305 cm, weight capacity 120 kg, 60 springs, 180 cm safety net.

“I want a large trampoline for the family”

• 366 cm Trampoline with Safety Net – diameter 366 cm, weight capacity 150 kg, 72 springs.
• 429 cm Trampoline with Safety Net – diameter 429 cm, weight capacity 150 kg, 88 springs.

“I mainly want a trampoline for exercising at home”

• 114 cm × 114 cm trampoline – weight capacity 110 kg, 36 springs.
• 122 cm × 122 cm trampoline, weight capacity 110 kg, 38 springs.
  For these “indoor” models, make sure there is enough free space around the trampoline (approx. 1.5–2 m) and sufficient ceiling height (at least 3 m).

Top 3 "Must-Haves" for the Garden

1. Anchors (wind, stability): Anchors 183–429 cm

2. Ladder (easy access): 66 cm CAA25/2 ladder—suitable for 183/244 cm models, 90 kg weight capacity (too short for 305+ models).

3. Replacement Parts (when something wears out):

• Springs 366–429 cm (dimensions listed + approximate quantity for a complete replacement).
• Spring protective cover 429 cm (thickness 2.5 cm).
• CAA28/8 safety net, 429 cm (height 180 cm, 8 pole sleeves).

✔ Measure the space before clicking “Add to Cart.” Be sure to account for the trampoline plus the space around it (ideally about 1 m) and the height above the trampoline.

✔ The safety net and spring cover aren’t just minor details. They’re essential “safety features”—especially for children.

✔ Anchor the trampoline when it’s windy. For larger diameters, it makes sense to use a double set of anchors (spaced evenly around the perimeter).

✔ Tighten the connections after the first few jumps. It’s normal for outdoor equipment to “settle in” a bit.

✔ For winter: Remove sensitive parts. It’s often recommended to at least store the net and padding in a dry place; the springs can be treated with silicone oil.
