Follow these steps to find the right fit for you and your family.
Step 1 – How Much Space Do You Have?
The first step to deciding which trampoline you need is to measure your yard and find out how much space you have. Trampolines range in sizes as small as 10 feet round and as large as 13 feet diameter.
Next, look for a section of your backyard that is clear of branches, debris, fences and slopes. (If you think the slope is more than 1 foot, you may want to have us come out and do a yard assessment).

Step 2 – Who Is Jumping?
The trampoline model you choose also depends on who will be using the trampoline. Is it just the kids or will Mom and Dad jump too? The trampoline maximum user weight can help.
The Maximum User Weight is based on how heavy you are and how high you jump. It is about ensuring jumpers don’t ‘bottom out’ (touch the ground while jumping). Each trampoline will have this marked and depending on who will be using it you may need a larger trampoline.

Step 3 – What Type of Trampoline Do You Want?
There are two types of trampolines on the market – the traditional spring-based trampolines and new springless trampolines.
Springless designs completely remove springs from the equation – like our Springfree™ trampolines. Instead of springs, they use flexible composite rods that are underneath the jumping surface and out of harms way.

Step 4 – Trampoline Safety Features
When it comes to trampolines, safety is at the top of the list for every parent. Trampolines have come a long way since you were a kid! Now all trampolines are required to have an enclosure net and pads covering the springs.
Dr. Keith Alexander, inventor of the Springfree™ trampoline, has gone so far as to redesign the trampoline from the ground up to make jumping safe. How?
